"We go together like rama lama lama ke ding a de dinga a dong..." Sanctuary Part 2

"...remembered for ever like
shoo bop shoo wadda wadda yipitty boom de boom...."

Have you ever met someone and found a strangely familiar, yet perfect fit? My Tahoe mom describes it something like this: if we were all 5 pointed stars, it would be like your points line up just right, rather than jangle and tangle in an awful mess. Our star points lining up is a perfect Inner Constellation metaphor for sanctuary of person. When you're stressed and feeling depleted who are the people in whom you seek refuge? It's especially important in times of stress to have clear discernment between those who offer comfort versus those who add to your distress. 


A good friend of mine refers to her refuge people as "the committee," wise folks to whom she turns in times of need. Cultivating such a "committee" is vital. I even go so far as to draw from folks in history who have inspired me (IC Truth #2 Energy never dies, it just changes form). Perhaps refuge is found through a departed grandparent, a heroine or a historical figure. Heck, another friend of mine when faced with indecision asks, "What would Frazier do?" 
Finding shelter through connection with heartening people lessens isolation and adds to our resourcefulness. Who are your sanctuary people from the past and/or the present?
"....When we go out at night
shoo-bop
That's the way it should be
Wha oooh yeah!"

And stars are shinin' bright.......Chang chang chang-it-ty chang
