I think this is the longing for God that you speak of. I truly believe that our ideals of soulmate hope actually get in the way of meeting a true soulmate. Because when we know that spark of God in another, we feel that connection so deeply, but the mundane truth of life separates us and we start to forget the gift we were given in that seeing. And yet...yes, I long for, so deeply long for, a truly compatible companion who I can share love freely with as well as navigate with ease the mundane realities. I do believe that is possible and I long for it. So wonderful to see your comment on my blog dear Sis. :-) Hugs.Catvibehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01354073276671196477noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-872117784291677577.post-10565673477079013522011-02-18T08:30:18.454-05:002011-02-18T08:30:18.454-05:00Calli, Sometimes, when we sit down to write someth...Calli, <br><br>Sometimes, when we sit down to write something with intention, nothing comes out.
