Dance with me, little stranger

Each partner who comes to dance with us teaches us something and brings us the gift of connection in new ways. Through each, we touch what is possible for us to create with another.

In this sense, the soul mate is not just one person, but a work in progress, a tapestry being woven out of light and shadow, hope and fear. Every lover we have prepares us to meet the Beloved.

Each one brings a lesson and a gift. And each defers to another who brings a deeper gift and a more compelling lesson. As we learn to honor ourselves, we attract partners who challenge us to become more conscious about the choices that we make.

Gradually, we open our hearts to the potential of creating intimacy on all levels. This full-chakra embrace opens to us when we have substantially completed our inner work. And then it is no longer a temporal affair.

It is Spirit come to flesh.

It is the indwelling Presence of Love, blessing us and lifting us up. It is both a gift and a responsibility, both a promise made and a promise fulfilled.
