A Relationship is an Eternity

A relationship does not ever truly begin or end. One face of our conscious awareness comes into contact with another’s face of their conscious awareness and we consider it a beginning. Our faces visit for a time and then the lens through which that consciousness sees and is seen dissolves, changes, or shifts focus. We call this death. In truth every relationship we have ever had, have or will have, is part of a much larger dance. In that dance you are discovering faces of divinity in one another and learning to do so with greater and greater elegance.

Treat each person you meet, but particularly loved ones, as beloved’s who you have danced with over the ages, getting to know in one costume or another. In the end the blinding veils of personality will be lifted and you will see what has always been there: the brilliant love and beauty that can no longer be suppressed, radiating from all things. In this you may rest your hope. Each parting is a celebration of the conclusion of an act. Part with care and kindness, that you might recognize each other more easily after the subsequent intermission.

Action: Forgive yourself and your partners for the unbearable pain you each feel when you separate. Know that beyond the veils all is healed and you are together. Your parting sadness an even deeper joy of reuniting.
