This is in Response to the Questions and Reflections for April 30, 2009:
Meaningful relationships with others gives me the most satisfaction; my most rewarding experiences come through sharing either in presence, or in writing, and connecting with the thoughts, ideas, emotions, essence, and presence of another. I always feel a keen sense of accomplishment when my writing has taken me to a place that I needed to go and did not know it. I love discovery and not just through my words. Sometimes I feel the words of others are travelling towards me, seeking me as their target, as if my need for the right words, the right ideas, the right thought to take me to my next level of existence and knowing is calling out to them to find me.

omg, this is soooo beautiful. YES. Yesyesyes. Are not relationships the most important thing in this life – relationship not simply to one another, but to ourSelf, so that out of that connection within ourselves to who we really are, we can endure achieve thrive in our relationships to others. As if the true purpose of life is not only our individual expansion/evolution, but to call soothe support others forward into their own expansion. Yow! And the end result? JOY!
(my ego is preeeeeening at your lovely words of reassurance and connection) and my heart is very grateful, Silke and willow. Down, ego, down! Sometimes I find just the right words that others have written and they help me along through my journey and my difficulties. I found them here this morning … peace love joy
.. yes.. you find the right words with us.. and inspired us with your words. Barbara!!
Oh Jeannie.. of course: first the relationship with ourselves, you are so right!!!!!
Funny:
The stage we are in in the relationship with ourselves… we attract our opposites (or “half oranges”) according to our evolvement.
So, if I want to attract somebody, let's say, “more evolved”, well, I have to start just by myself, right?!!
Oh girls.. this is A BLAST!!!

Well, here's a little bit of a dilemma that I have come across and wonder about. If we are attracting into our lives what we need, then other are attracting us into their lives because of what they need. I am always unsure of what my right action is when the relationship is turbulent, or I am not happy, or they are not happy. It seems if both are not willing to “evolve” as Silke says, then we have to go our separate ways. It is complicated and probably would take an entire book …
Others can only attract us into their life, if we have stake in it. A deep, brutal and honest self analysis will reveal the hidden questions… and that's a good thing.. because we evolve from there.. we see what we want.. we determine what we don't.. and UP we go!!
Evolving with a partner is only going to be happening, if both want.
Evolving myself, that's the goal: I can only give what I have (or am).
And sometimes, yes, we have to go separate ways. Our time is up!! The fight and struggle to make it happen is too big.. ore even useless!
Deep in our hearts we know, we do know when we work for being together.. and when we work for moving on.
The important part: keeping an eye of ”What makes me happy”
And in struggle: “What can I do to make things better” “What am I expecting?” “How much I engage in the negative”, “How much do I need the other making me happy?” - Is that really his/her responsibility????, etc., etc.
Times of doubt = times of Growth!!!!!
