The Return

I found another secluded burrow and stayed there. As the months passed, I attempted to integrate all the lessons I had learnt on my journey and I also reflected on my relationship with Blissy. I still grappled with Blissy ending the relationship. I could not understand how after the depth of our connection and the intensity of our love that she could change her feelings so quickly. Everything I said to her I meant and by saying it, I had made a lifelong commitment to her. Nothing could ever separate me from her, apart from her rejection. It broke me, at the same time because I was determined to keep my heart open and feel everything, however painful, it also broke me open. It did not happen immediately but one day not long after the initial devastation of the separation, my heart just burst open and I felt waves and waves of unconditional love. It was strange because I felt a continual burning in my chest, a tremendous love for Blissy and an unconditional love for life and for others, but at the same time, I felt the excruciating constant pain of loss and separation from Blissy in my head. Occasionally I tried consciously to close down and protect myself from the pain but within minutes or an hour at the most, I returned to feeling deep feelings of love for her. I felt this fated, destined connection in my heart. I loved her essence and inner beauty and in the time we spent together I saw it blossom and radiate. It was so beautiful. I was captivated by it. I just loved her incredibly deeply and I knew I always would. I knew that Bllissy harboured wounds and hurts from her past and that feeling so vulnerable was highly difficult for her, so she probably wanted to protect herself from being hurt in the future. But I felt that if she was with me these wounds would heal. I knew how incredibly loyal and loving that I was and am. I felt oceans of love for her and that it would be impossible to love her any more than I did. But how could she know this after such a brief time together or even trust that this could really be true.  I also wondered that because I put her on a pedestal and often called her a ‘goddess’ that may be she thought I only saw her good qualities because I was idealising her. But I know we are all a mix of qualities both good and not so good. Maybe she thought if I saw her for all she was that I would leave in time. However I was well aware of the different parts of her nature and her flaws, especially after her leaving. She had hurt me and caused me more pain than anyone else but I still loved her. I loved all of her and I knew I always would, regardless of whether we ended up together, although the thought of a permanenti separation was too painful to contemplate.  She had touched my soul, as never before. I knew a depth of love that I previously had never felt and I was truly grateful to have experienced such deep love.  I kept waiting and waiting always hoping for the winds of change and for fate to intervene and play its part but signs of a reunion appeared to be fading away. Months and months passed by…. 

Then suddenly, the signs started appearing again….a white butterfly crossing my path…two collared doves appearing… just at times when I was thinking about Blissy. My intuitive sense began to grow, although I could barely take in the possibility of a reunion.
One day I felt it was time and I decided to return.

Before I left I decided to scribe exactly what I wanted to say to Blissy. Throughout the journey back I felt these words in my heart. When I finally stood in front of Blissy, it seemed such a long time ago that we had spoken, that I felt a little trepidation, but decided to be bold and I spoke these words…

“After so many years of unfulfilled dreams, fate intervened and we finally found each other

A glimpse from above making sense of those previous difficult years

It was a wonderful experience seeing our gifts and uniqueness reflected back through the eyes of the other

For a brief time, we enjoyed a totally transcendent exhilarating experience

Our hearts bursting open, full of love and joy

And then, maybe overwhelmed by the intensity of our love, our paths parted…

Is fate once again bringing our paths back together?

Blissy.. You are my bliss,

A heavenly vision, who’s form and nature have been exquisitely and perfectly created by a divine paw,

Possessing an ageless and timeless alluring beauty,

Your captivating ethereal eyes, so familiar, so enchanting,

When our eyes met with intense gazes, you beamed an incredible loving energy, which was received like a lightning bolt unleashing enormous waves of emotion kindling a tremendous lifetime passion in me,

I will always be there for you, loving, supporting and encouraging you to follow your heart,

I love you with all my heart and soul.. now and forever,

I believe you are my true love… my soulmate”

I paused and waited…..

Blissy began…. “I love you so much Soul”…….and then we talked and talked and talked…… and….. “We enjoyed the most amazing relationship anyone could ever dream of having!”

“That is so beautiful Soul. Thank you for sharing it with me and thank you so much for the last few days you have transformed my relationship with Daisy and my life. I’m so lucky to have a guide like you.

Milo and Soul spent the next few days enjoying each other’s company and even though the difference in ages was large, it mattered little, as the bond between them deepened even more.

However, when it came time for Milo to leave, Soul stated, “I’m old and I feel I haven’t got much time left but I’m at peace because I know I will be with Blissy again soon. Milo I would like you to pass on the knowledge that has helped you, so that others can be healed too.
Milo a felt honoured by this request and promised Soul that he definitely would share this wonderful knowledge.
On leaving he hugged Soul tightly for a long time, because even though he intended to return soon he knew that this might be the last time he saw Soul. As he left he turned to wave to Soul with tears in his eyes as he was so overwhelmed with gratitude for the way Soul had helped him with such love and kindness.

The Bridge

Milo set off for home with love in his heart and a lightness in his step. A huge burden, having been lifted. He knew the first place he would visit once he returned home.

He stood on their favourite bridge, looking at the beautiful view, feeling happy within. He sent Daisy love. He knew she would be back and that they would enjoy true love, like Soul and Blissy, for the rest of their lives.
Then he thought about his promise to Soul and as if announcing it to everyone stated, “This will be the Relationships Bridge” and he began to inscribe into the bridge in large letters LOVE IS……
