my mom brought to my attention the interconnectedness of 'infidel' and 'infidelity.' Infidel literally translates as 'one without faith,' while infidelity is the 'quality of being unfaithful.' it's striking that a similar definition of this breech of contract is 'unfaithful.' there is an element of complete faith that, if not fostered by both partners, will lead to an act of unfaithfulness. i've spent years of my life fearing betrayal, imagining its insidious glance inside every motive of my partner, living as 'one without faith'. lo and behold...
just ask and you will receive. every thought is a question raised to the universe that WILL be answered!
then there is the aspect of soul work, that tireless journey that sometimes feels like i'm being dragged through a dense mountain.
"And you, O my Soul, where you stand,
Surrounded, surrounded, in measureless oceans of space,
Ceaselessly musing, venturing, throwing,--seeking the spheres, to
connect them;
Till the bridge you will need, be form'd--till the ductile anchor
hold;
Till the gossamer thread you fling, catch somewhere, O my Soul."
--whitman
that's just it...my soul caught somewhere, and it was with you, two candles melting into each other. our work is so connected! it makes me want to barf and sing praise at the same time! almost everything about us is the mirror opposite of the other. i was comforted to read that the brain works in this kind of opposing relationship. the left brain taking care of all the things the right brain couldn't even imagine doing, and vise versa. our beings are infused and, in fact formed through, the dynamic interplay of such polarities. i pray the dark, fertile unknowing of all our unexposed characteristics can be rooted in the good faith that we are committed, not so much to each other, but to the great knowing within us all.
