Connection

I'm quite out of words here. One funny coincidence is that this is 100^th entry to my blog. There's this old saying (which is considered as cliché by many) that we will meet "the right one" when we least expect it. Well, I was already finished with expectations. I had already stopped believing, hoping, dreaming that someone special would enter into my life. If we exclude my two previous girlfriends, I had met some nice people who under other circumstances might have been titled as "special" but there was always something missing. If we see ourselves as pieces to the puzzle - pieces never truly fit into each other. Also I was doing fine alone and there was no longer this pain of not being with someone. That's why it was perfect setting to let someone into my life and to enter into someone's life. There was no desperation anymore, no fear, no such desire as there had been. It was beautiful that we both were like this - different in some ways but tied together by something deeper, which I can’t really express with words.

Now a new adventure has begun. It's incomparable with previous adventures - hero is not the same and princess is different as well. I don't know what will happen next and I'm not worried about it. I don't know if this adventure will last a moment or lifetime but I do know that it has been, it is, and it will be very harmonious, joyful and beautiful journey.

When I wrote earlier about seven spiritual characters, who I have enjoyed most, one of the named characters was Richard Bach. In that entry I gave a quote from him and here’s again a part of that quote as I cannot say it any better:

For me, a soulmate is one with whom we've made a mutual decision before the beginning of any life experience, with whom we have an agreement to meet in spacetime and demonstrate for each other the best we know about sharing love.

In the highest sense we're all soulmates, one to another, we're all reflections of one light. But the highest sense renders the word impractical on our worlds of make-believe, and I resolved to lower the vibrations of my definition to embrace at least one and at most a very few soulmates in any focus of consciousness I call a lifetime.

Soulmates are not images of religious custom or cultural institution, of age or gender. Marriage does not define a soulmate, nor divorce dissolve one. No earthside connection affects that bond. We recognize each other when we meet by signals arranged at a time and place we half-remember from old dreams. The curve of a smile, fragments of shared memories, a phrase that two minds speak at just the same instant. And then we begin the dance we asked of each other before the music of time was written, and enter upon the lives we've customized for our education and our delight.
