(This was written in 2009 for my Anam Cara -soul friend in gaelic- Dawn Mitchell)
As I walk along a lonely path, enjoying the feel of the sun on my skin and the cool ocean breeze as it caresses my skin, leaving the slightest scent of salt water. I weave my way down the path as it leads me to the ocean shore. I stop and gaze upon the waves as they gently wash upon the shore. There is a sense fo calm that comes over me. There are things in this world that can not be seen, but felt with the your heart...felt in your very soul. Standing here taking in Mother Natures beauty I smile because I know you see the same waters I see. Oh, they may be called by another name, but it is still the same. You stand on one shore and I stand here on the other. Thousands of miles of blue water separate us, and many lifetimes as well. And yet we have always managed to find our way back to each other.
I feel as if I have wandered most of my life lost in search of something, yet not knowing what it was. Feeling as if a very part of my soul was missing. Always searching a strangers eyes......for what? I did not know. Would I recognize it when I saw it? Some spark of recognition? That sense of "I know you". The feeling that someone actually understood me......really understood me, who I was at my very core. I have the love of my life in my husband. But that is what I felt I was missing. It was a family bond, a sister? a brother? The only thing I could use to try and explain it was what I thought a twin would feel if the other were gone. They spent most of their life separated not knowing of the other. And then to find each other and have that emptiness filled. To finally feel complete.
We are sisters you and I. And we have been for longer that either of us can comprehend. We have had many lifetimes together, we always manage to find our way back to one another. We are twin flames, two souls who always find their way back to each other. Our fate is forever intertwined.
