# I met him in Palm Springs at a spiritual retreat.
I was staying in a lovely, luxurious hotel, and was sharing a room with a woman I’d not met until I got there. The retreat was everything I’d looked forward to. Kundalini was popping from walls and spiraling up and out of the floors, and almost everyone looked wasted with positively glazed eyes. All in all, our Guru really came through for that one.
On the second evening, I came back to my room rather late. I remember being flushed with the intensity of the day. I thought my hotel roommate would be fast asleep, as she’d retired early the night before. When I walked in, the lights were on, and seated on the bed was a man. An enticingly magnetic man. His energy field bowled over me like a hot lava flow, and my ears began to go a bit dim. A bit like you feel before you’re going to faint, only I wasn’t at all faint. I had been pushed into a state of hyper-awareness. The roommate, I can’t recall her name, giddily introduced Sean as her boyfriend, that he’d been the bass player for this ridiculously cool and famous band, and at that point I stumbled slightly to get a bottled water. The entire time Sean was gazing at me with a slight smile on his face.
