It wasn’t long before Soul caught sight of Milo and swam over to join him. “How are you feeling this morning Milo?” “Better thanks, Soul. I feel hopeful.” “That’s good. So Milo I was thinking about your marvellous journey, which you related to me yesterday.
What struck me was although you found your diamond, your centre, your peace of mind and the tools that you needed to maintain it, you didn’t really have time to completely change your insecurities and worries before you launched into this incredible love affair with Daisy. So a lot of your worries and anxieties were still there under the surface leaving you vulnerable to feeling the neediness and dependence that you now feel.
But there is something else which I think is really contributing to how you feel. Many of us who are sensitive, feel a strong desire to join completely with our partners when we are in love.
This can be further intensified for those of us, who believe in the idea of soulmates. Some believe that we can meet different partners in our lives, who are our soulmates. We share a very strong connection and have something to learn from each other. So they believe we can have more than one soulmate.
Some believe there is also another type of soulmate, which I believe I shared with Blissy. This type of soulmate is a once in a life connection and that you are connected in past and future lives. My partner Blissy passed on last year but I believe she’s still with me now. We shared a love of white butterflies and always talked about how beautiful they are. When I think of Blissy, very often a white butterfly lands next to me and even settles on my paw and remains there relaxed and trusting for absolutely ages. This happens so often that is just not coincidence. I believe this is her way of showing me that we are still connected. So my question to you Milo is, do you feel Daisy is your soulmate?”
“Yes Soul, I do. I have thought about this often. I feel that our meeting, our journey, our love are meant to be and that we will always be connected.”
Soul continued, “So can you see now, how thinking like this has caused you to feel dependence and loss without her, especially when you haven’t dealt with your insecurities and don’t completely understand the true nature of love. Milo balked slightly at hearing the words ‘the true nature of love’ has he thought he knew exactly what love was. Soul noticed his reaction and gently replied, “I had to make some changes to my idea of love, before I could change my relationship and really understand what ‘true love’ was.
Soul been continued, “Did you notice Milo that when you visited this spot, I was always particularly pleased to see you and Daisy? The reason being, even though I was still grieving the loss of my Blissy from last year, you and Daisy reminded me of our relationship. When I saw your love for each other, it lifted my spirits and helped me remember the unbelievably happy times I spent with Blissy. By the way Blissy always called me her soulmate and after a while just started calling me ‘Soul’ as a term of endearment. In the end everyone called me Soul and it became my name.
Here is a thought for you to ponder Milo. There is a slight irony to you thinking that you will lose your soulmate. If you really are soulmates then you are meant to be together. It is amazing how the worrying mind can believe two contradictory ideas together at the same time but only focus on the negative one.
In this case losing your soulmate, instead of believing that you will always be together!
