Hi Tamee,
Waysharing can mean many things - it is something we all do - sharing in the Way - each making their own Way, but all interconnected.
Some speak of places to share for a fellow traveler as spots along the Way where one can plug into the fellowship of the path - usually on lands set aside for likeminded to develope alternatives to what the mainstream society offers.
(This is quoted from the first post in the thread Waysharingin this forum)
"Back when I was a lad of me late 20's we not so jokingly called it being on the wings of the seeker. Knowing that at times those winds are cold and it takes all your strength to just hold on. Most of those of us that went on seeking, found much of what we were seeking. We found ways of Being. It did not shout look at me I am walking in the Way of my truth, for the Way was one of Doing not talking. Sometimes one breath after the next was a long time as we went beyond. Many understand that we walk beyond. The Search acquaints us with the various needs of attention, concentration, and one-pointed-ness. In learning to still the mind - things happen - realms increase - actions are often the result of attention and focus the concentration and creative energy into Doing.
Most wandering Waysharers recognize each other - it is there in the energy, in attuning to the spirit of another the signs are obvious. There is a resonance - a blended harmonic - an undercurrent of otherliness about them. They are almost more attuned to a different place, where things take on a greater depth. Sometimes you can even see where you are being directed even as you are at one with the Being directing. And it's not all about the every day mundane but yet can take on the appearances of such while much more is happening than merely interactions with the everyday humdrum of existence. There is a heightened awareness, a greater consciousness, even as a sleeping man wakens to the work of the day.
A Waysharer by way of definition must share and help others to come unto their own -t'is also aiding in our own growth to test the Ways we've come and gather a wider perspective of what Is. It all becomes a harmonious spiral with occurrences cycling with a little different take in our participation in the transcendence from macro to micro to intro to existence to being awareness...The cycle of Being feeding the Awareness, continues from beginnings of Awareness that I Am and We Are One"
But to define it is to take only the perspective of one, when we are many; and through the Connections, all part of the Whole.
We Are.....
Blessings along the Way !

wow, thanks oldwolf, that's inspiring. I did know all of this, but I seemed to have lost my know of such things since returning from my newborn life on the road, back to the hometown and social surroundings I grew up in. Thanks for being a signpost on my road forward to the backroads world of sincerity, depth, and beauty.
