A friend of mine posted this quote on her Facebook and it floored me. In all the upsets and joys of the last month, this shined through the whispered doubts and unmovable stubbornness like a ray of sun:
“A soul mate’s purpose is to shake you up, tear apart your ego a little bit, show you your obstacles and addictions, break your heart open so a new light can get in, make you so desperate and out of control that you have to transform your life.”
- Eat, Pray, Love
This is what I have been doing for B____. All of these things. I have done them from my side of the world, from the other side of the vast ocean that flows between us. Through prayer and joy and desperation and sheer stubbornness and faith, I have accosted God again and again for the freedom and purpose of my beloved.
.
And as I write this, I suddenly see, as in a mirror, that the reverse has also been true. B____ did all this for me, too.
