We may be separated by distance but will never be apart from each other ever
One the other never leaving,
Up and down the roads going, North and South excursions making,
Power enjoying, elbows stretching, fingers clutching,
Arm'd and fearless, eating, drinking, sleeping, loving.
No law less than ourselves owning, sailing, soldiering, thieving,
threatening,
Misers, menials, priests alarming, air breathing, water drinking, on
the turf or the sea-beach dancing,
Cities wrenching, ease scorning, statutes mocking, feebleness
chasing,
Fulfilling our foray.”
― Walt Whitman
No quote evokes a stronger sense of strength in me than what Walt Whitman has said here.
For me and my best friend share more than a sense of camaraderie but a deep bond.
That of knowing what the other wants, needs irrespective of whether we are voicing it or not.
We may be far away from each other today, but every single time that we meet, talk or communicate, its not the words that we say or the gestures but the connection we share that assures us that all is going to be well in this world.
Soul mates is not a hypothetical phrase but a strong reality in our case.
If every day is a new journey in life and we embark on this journey many times together, but also often in separate ways, we know as surely as the sun must set that we will meet again at the end of that journey.
And that will give us strength to be able to carry on a journey by ourselves the next day.
We have seen many difficulties in life. Not about the difficulties one faces in life but that of being away from each other.
For we have been separated for years due to study and travel and marriage and kids and work and jobs and all that can come in between us.
At times ego, other priorities, other friends, deadlines, different interests etc
At times ego, other priorities, other friends, deadlines, different interests etc
But every time we meet, its beyond magic. A sense of calmness overcomes us. It reduces a storm in our minds into nothing but a gentle cool breeze blowing across the fields.
I don't know if there is a karmic connection but there certainly is a feeling of gratitude towards God for giving us the best gift life could give us.
For this connection is not about friendship but of elevation, about transcending over worldly worries into an emotion that knows knows calmness, peace of mind and a feeling - that we will experience bliss, satisfaction and joy by being together.
Much the same as what one experiences with http://housing.com/ a sense of companionship, a feeling that your in safe hands and that any decision that you need to make in terms of where to live or how to find a house is best made with them.
