This is post I wrote some time ago, but after publishing I hid it, and upon reflection I've realised I wasn't finished processing the experience. Here I am now 8 months later and as I read it I think there is some nice sentiment in it, so apparently I'm ready to publish it.
Enjoy ❤️❤️
I am feeling very humbled and grateful this morning, at moments a little sad and other moments so expanded.
I have had the most amazing experience of a deep connection with someone. Upon reflection the two of us have realised this connection was only going to be a short interaction, but our time together was so beautiful and impactful on my life.
So I'm share my musings with you ❤️
Sometimes you meet someone and your soul is like “Hey, I know you”.
You have an instant connection with them. It defies logic, but there is something in you that recognises something in them. And then begins a soul connection that is divine and beyond ANYTHING the mind can comprehend. Those connections can be a moment (the meeting of another persons eyes whom you never see again), a day, weeks or even years.
I wonder if while we are living life, interacting, or not interacting with that person on the mental physical plane do the two souls have a conversation we are not consciously aware of that goes something like this?
“I have a gift for you. You asked me to hold onto for when our paths crossed in this reality. And now, here we are, meeting up at the perfect time in the perfect place.
I have nurtured it and held it in love ready for this moment.
It may seem like a small thing, but I know it’s a linch pin.
I’ll give it back to you now. Hold it, feel it, absorb it into you.
We wouldn’t have met if you weren’t ready, so I know you are going to be ok from this experience. I know that you have now gathered a part of yourself that you have been seeking, but not realizing that was what you searched for. It was time, the other parts of yourself were calling this bit home.
I’m so grateful I was able to hold and carry this for you.
You just need to give yourself time to settle into having that part of you back again. Your reality has changed and shifted. There is a ripple effect and that takes time to settle.
So make sure you breathe and be gentle with yourself.
I know you have a gift for me too.
There is no loss, there is no emptiness, and the space left from this piece of you is ready for the piece of me that you’ve been carrying and loving all this time.“
What if that was the importance of our interactions in this world. No matter how big or small, short or long term.
What if we are gathering and reabsorbing all the parts of ourselves that we spread throughout this energetic plane.
Perhaps life is a great scavenger hunt of finding the fullness of oneself, and that is a major part of our experience in this reality.
Some pieces we find ourselves on the side of the road, some are hidden within and they are unearthed through the inner transformational journey. Some come from family and friends. Those ones are more gradual, a slow release, and continual interactions impact the gathering process in a different way.
And then you have the pieces that are pivotal and they feel like they change the direction of your life in a very short period of time (sometimes it feels like it’s in an instant). They feel so much more significant than the everyday ones, maybe they are, or maybe the longterm ones are more significant. I don’t know.
I do know I am humbled and so grateful from my experiences. For all the people that have come in and out of my life and the impact they have had, often ones that they don’t even realise.
So sometimes grief can also be filled with pure joy. And it is necessary to crack open the heart from its closed space to a magical place of new expansions.
Is our whole life a series of cracking, expanding and making room as we jigsaw ourselves back together?
What are your thoughts/experiences?
❤️❤️❤️
