Soul Mates

It occurred to me this month that life is full of temptation. Not that it doesn't occur on a daily basis, but I feel like this past month I've really been put to the test. After all, I struggle with all kinds of decisions, as we all do...this job or that, full time or part time, travel the world or build a community at home, a job for money or a job that follows my passions, commitment or play... We are living in generation non commitment. Forget generation X, we're generation NEXT. Like...we can't help but wonder if what's next for us is bigger, better or more exciting.

So, I've been negotiating this with myself for some time. Temptation in all it's forms. How can I really explain other than there are some things we can't explain? Hmmmm...I hope I'm not losing anyone. But in any case, the whole point is, we get reminders when we need them. We all need reminders now and then to tell us we're on the right track and that we're where we should be. The universe works in mysterious ways and I have witnessed it many times before in my travels, my relationships, etc. But, I had one of the most brilliant wake up calls recently that just snapped me back to this place of belief. That belief that there are people who are connected on a soul level. There are people who are meant for you for a reason.

Without getting too personal about it, I just want to explain how rivetting this is. I mean, with a world of temptation around you, how does one choose anything? How does one make a decision that they think is long lasting and then feel good about it every day? Sometimes we all need a little help. And that's what I got. Just when I was really straying in a direction of exciting newness, I realized that the one special real deal has been with me all the time. That this one special connection is the same one that sees me through all my weakness, my restlessness, my triumphs and my failures, my hopes and all my dreams. And maybe that's what connects us to people, place and things that we love...that moment of recognition that this is home. That in an instant, your life flashes in front of you and it culminates in looking into the eyes of someone who really KNOWS you.

I dunno in the gazillion of possibilities of connections out there if there is only one for us, but I do know that when you got something so unexplainably beautiful, it is quite worth holding onto.
