Pairings

Good Morning!

Spending the week with my two lovely granddaughters and two Greater Swiss Mountain dogs, also lovely, but more hairy.  And here in the beginning of our week together I've been doing laundry and finding myself obsessed with pairing socks.

In this busy household socks do not always find themselves together in the same laundry load, so they are allocated sometimes to the sock bag to be paired later when the need is greater; thus my obsession is born.

I have been thrilled to bond one colorful sock with another, completing the pair, a most satisfying activity that has never called to me before.  Yup, this seems strange indeed, but no thing in this life is without synchronicity.

One of the synchronistic elements is that a dear friend of over 30 years has surfaced, triggered by Mom's passing.  We bonded over our mutual interest in metaphysics while attending Bemidji State in the early 80s, and grew immensely through the channeling event that changed our lives.   Some friendships are sustainable and sometimes separation is inevitable.  In our case, both are true.  We are delighted to find we have the same spark of understanding between us that was true before we took different paths.  Since we are several states apart, we are grateful for technology.

What I've considered over the years, especially with clients, is that we are a species drawn to bond with others of like mind.  For some, as with Michael and me, the soul bond leads to friendship.  For others the need for a romantic bond is strong and they feel an intense need to achieve that pairing.   We are fortunate in either case, aren't we?

In October I'll officiate at the marriage of two other dear friends who have chosen their 20th anniversary to make this pairing legal. 
Thank you, God.  I've known them for many of those years, and no two people are better suited for one another.

People often ask about "soul mates," and "twin flames." Semantics can get in the way of understanding, especially when it comes to soul connections which have myriad definitions.  Perhaps we can best think of the most significant relationships as those in which two persons spring from the same soul - the soul being a construct of such magnitude that we are unable to wrap our heads around it.
Sometimes those result in romance, but just as often can present in families or in challenging romantic liaisons.   In addition, some of our relationships can be no less compelling, but with a less intense soul connection.

I've been blessed with loving, reliable, inspiring friends, and I am so grateful.  When we are looking for a new relationship, Wisdom often recommends speaking aloud to the soul of the person you have not yet met to tell them you are doing your best to be ready for the introduction!  Over the years I've often spoken to Michael's soul to keep the cosmic door open, and tah-dah! an old friend found.  I wish you success as you create what will serve you best.

With Gratitude,
Phyllis
