On Losing A Soul Mate and Trusting Love

“The minute I heard my first love story I started looking for you, not knowing how blind that was.

Lovers don’t finally meet somewhere. They’re in each other all along.”  –Rumi

Rumi had it right.  What do you do, though, when one partner is just waking up?  When one of the two of you is not ready to trust Love?  When most everything and everyone in their lives is working against them to begin to trust Love?

Choices get made and actions taken.  Consequences follow.  There’s no right or wrong in the end.  Only learning.

Is it the role of the more awake partner to patiently endure the awakening process?  Or, does the awake partner’s action depend on a contract entered prior to incarnation?

One partner wants the experience of making choices that lead to the loss.  The other to choose to let go, for now.  Knowing you will still quite literally feel each other for years to come.

Whether you ever see each other again or not in this life doesn’t matter.  Reunion is a heartbeat away.  Because in fact there is never a separation.  At least in Spirit.

Maybe, one is willing to patiently endure the loss of the physical partnership because there is a greater responsibility to the soul mate?  Growth along the spiritual path, maybe?  Maybe the loss is preparing one or both partners for a deeper connection with another partner?

Does it really matter?  How can we know?  Considering the state of Love coming from Source … what’s losing each other in this lifetime?  When you get a few years under your belt and you look back and see 20 years has gone by in the blink of an eye.  Like it was yesterday.  What does it matter to wait fifty years until your last breath to be reunited, once again.  Love is outside of Time.

I chose to trust Love.  Whether we’ve met, or not, we can’t lose each other.  We are still in each other all along.  Always have been.  Always will be.
