I had a message from a friend a week or so ago letting me know that her husband had passed away several months ago. It took me a few days to respond to the message, not because I didn’t care but because it had such an impact on me. This couple were such a wonderful match, just right for each other and so happy together, so obviously in love. Sadly their time together was limited by his illness but the most important thing they did was make the most of every moment they had together.

 
It got me wondering… is it possible for everyone to have what they had… that one amazing connection with another which many refer to as soul mates. Many of us love during our lifetimes, some several times, but how many of us have that all consuming connection with another human being. Where we touch each others souls, where the physical attraction is as strong as but is also secondary to the emotional and spiritual connection.

 
I believe it is possible to have more than one soul mate or should I say soul mates on different levels. Wonderful friendship with another of similar energy to ourselves. Some are purely spiritual while others are purely emotional or possibly physical. They are very special connections in themselves, however to have that one person with whom you have a total connection, the spiritual, physical and emotional is truly unique and precious. It is as though you know that you have known each other before in previous lifetimes, you are so familiar to each other. You may not have actual memories of other times together but you have an energetic imprint which is like a magnet and the connection is not to be denied.

 
Now I am not talking about that comfortable as an old shoe feeling, where you immediately relax with another. While that is a lovely comforting connection the unique soul mate connection is more one that, though it can be very comfortable and comforting, it also has an edge to it that stimulates us and keeps us alert and looking forward to the next moment, the next possibility, the next profound experience. Not that life is always deeply profound, however, when shared with that particular person every moment holds something precious, a surreal sunset, a wild flower in bloom, the majesty of an eagle soaring, the bliss of pure silence or the richness of laughter. Made all the more magical by their presence.

 
Maybe it is the romance of the poet which makes me pen these words for I am one of the lucky ones who have experienced this connection… I hope you get share it also.

’til next time,

Indigo (aka Trish)
