I Love You

Relationships are complicated to say the least; man woman, mother child, father child, friends, brother sister. And it just seems the more spiritually drawn you are, the more complex and easy those relationships are all at the same time. ... Love, so easy to roll off the tongue but probably the toughest state of being to live in when there is so much pushing and pulling to complicate where we all strive to be as we search for the god in ourselves. Even if you don't believe in God you still want, need to be enveloped in that brilliant feeling of being - loved. ... I'm particularly fascinated with the notion of romantic soul mates - spirit mates, kindred spirits - who are somehow already connected in another dimension and are mystically united in this world. Rome and Ivy, two characters who've been living in my head for the past five years, are what they believe to be one another's soul mates. But of course it's easy and intoxicating and fulfilling and complex and painful and empty all at once. You'll meet them. Soon. We'll explore them together and maybe we'll come out on the other side of their experience effected, wiser, and closer to understanding what we're supposed to expect when you look into his eyes or her eyes and say "I love you." ... Until next time.
