What I've noticed is that the people who are sticking around now in the "community" are here because it fulfills some kind of spiritual need. The question for me is why I cannot relinquish this obsession. What is it about her, her aura that makes me feel less alone.

Is it vulnerability? A disrobing of the guards that hide spirit? Recovery? Connection to your innermost core and voice? Are we the disconnected? The hard to piece together? I wonder.
