WHEN YOU LOVE AN ANCIENT SOUL

There is a special type of person in this world that is often misunderstood.
These people tend to be the loners, the free spirits, the innocent lovers. They see the world for all it can and should be.
They are the old souls, the dreamers, the people in tune with life, so intuitive of emotions that they frighten us.

They scare not because of who they are, but because of who we are not, what we lack.
Ancient souls reach depths we cannot understand. They have a connection to the Universe, to nature, and that's why they are the people who are going to change the world.

Their touch is unusual, their s*x is unusual, their clarity of view is unusual.
We often feel inferior, as if we have to strive to be even remotely close to their level, to be worthy of their love.

It takes a confident person to love an old soul. But it's worth it. It will change your life.

They are romantic, they are loyal, they help us grow, they are not materialistic, they understand the deep connections in life, they are grateful, they are examples of bravery.

They walk the most painful roads of this life, and yet somehow they find the courage to smile, to be selfless, to support others.
Loving an old soul and being loved by them is a gift from the Universe!

We miss them so, but their energy is still around.

Grief is a tidal wave. It pours over our soul swallowing us whole, holding us suspended in a whirlpool of time, caught between the sweet memories of the past and life's new reality.

During the storm, we are called simply to love, to bless and honor our loved ones on their journey, to know they are held in loving grace, that their love for us, unlike the body, never dies. It is in the air we breathe surrounding us like a warm comforting blanket.

We are meant to love ourselves, too, to be kind, to forgive, to listen to what we need to heal. Our grief is in direct proportion to our capacity to love. There is no measure, no magic timeline for grief. It is a matter of forging ahead, bravely walking through the pain and loss, putting one foot in front of the other, until after a time the wave of emotion settles and a transformative peace washes over us and cleanses our soul.

We come to terms and accept the power of a love that is much greater than us, one that is beyond the constraints of time, space, and body, a greater wholeness.

Although we continue to surf the waves, dipping in and out of the pain and sorrow, we know in our heart that the universe's ocean is made richer because it contains and holds their love. They are always with us, surrounding us, lifting us, helping us to float and glide until at last we gently land on the shore.

We stand on solid ground, recalling our larger purpose, going about the activities of the living, learning the lessons we are meant to with our loved ones' blessings until the universe sends for us, our wave appears, and we join as a ripple with those who came before us in the grand ocean of eternal and unconditional love.

Until then, fill your soul with their love, seek peaceful understanding and remember your life has purpose and meaning. Honor the memory of your loved ones who have passed by living your life fully and well.
