    Dear Imperfect,

    I am one week post integration and I still do not know if this is permanent or not. One week prior I had experienced the merging of three parts and for that one day I felt like I could rule the world I was so happy. That didn't last...

    I did experience some awe at the integration, but held the elation in check. I also felt intense grief over losing all those special parts standing alone. I processed both of these things.

    And it was wonderful to feel things after all my selves merged, some things I had never experienced before: value, security, confidence, drowsiness, passion, drinking a cup of coffee... But I also still felt loss, compassion, doubt, grief...

    And I think that is a measure of real integration of all the parts - when your not overwhelmed by any one thing or too high on success, but everything just rests easy, even the little conflict that we face every day.

    Diane
