Soul Friends

Sometimes you meet people and just know that they are something special. From the very first instant you connect, as if you have known each other for years, or perhaps, in a past life? These connections are curious. Why is it that sometimes you can know someone for years and never reach a deeper level of intimacy, and with others time is just an insignificant aspect of the relationship?

I like to call these people my soul friends. We are connected through our synchronized energies. We understand one another in a way that words could never express. We feel each others emotions and read each others minds with only facial expressions and body language. We can pass hours without speaking to one another and still feel fulfilled. Sometimes, we don’t even have to speak the same language to know that the connection is real.

Over my lifetime, I have met a handful of people who fit into this category. Oftentimes we meet through unexpected circumstances, almost as if we were destined to know one another. Almost as if the universe wanted us to meet. My soul friends teach me lessons about what true connections really are. They show me how to live in the moment, express love, and how to experience intense and beautiful emotions.

I think sometimes years can pass by without meeting someone like this, and other times you find many in a short period. It is even possible to never meet a soul friend in your lifetime. When I think about the amazing people I have met in my life, when I reminisce about the beautiful memories we have shared together, I cant help but think what a blessing it is to be alive and know people who I can enjoy life with.

We live on a beautiful planet, full of astounding people, incredible opportunities to explore, unlimited things to learn, and it is right there for us. This gift is something I have often taken for granted in my life. It is something I was blind to for many years. Maybe I didnt let myself experience it? Maybe I was closed off? Or maybe there is a reason why I am starting to understand this all now.

This journey through life has been quite an interesting experience. We try to plan for the future as if we have a clue as to what our future selves will want. We think the younger version of ourselves is well equipped to run the life of the older version of ourselves. But, we are constantly changing and evolving into new people, we dont know how the future us will think, or what they will know, who they will want to spend their time with. It is impossible to know what realizations we will have a year from now, yet alone tomorrow. It is impossible to know today if tomorrow we will meet someone who will completely change every aspect of our lives.

I dont know anything about how my life is going to be. I dont know who is going to light the fire of my soul. I dont know when everything will suddenly change. But, I am open to the experience. I am open to this mysterious force we call life. My heart is open and my soul is ready.
