The forest for the trees

The first meeting of EDA for CT has taken place tonight, while my feelings are fresh I wanted to record this. I feel:

1) proud of the individuals who came
2) enlightened and encouraged
3) a little overwhelmed, but not in a bad way! More like a wow... this really finally happened.. how do I keep it going?
4) incredibly connected and in awe of the power of talk
5) deeply touched by the story and inside power of each person who came

Each of us have been so controlled by food. Each of us is similarly seeking a freedom from this slave master. And each of them was willing to come out on a cold Sunday night to a strangers house and share their world and deepest fears with other strangers. Wow, that's brave.
