that is ... simply awe-inspiring.

I am much-ly impressed with that train of thought on the often confusing subject of a so-called "soul mate". :)

Thank you for sharing.

It made me stop and think for a moment or two. I've always sorta gone along with the idea that soul mates are forever and just never thought I'd found mine since I couldn't manage to hold onto anybody. This particular theory gives me lovely pause.

Another favorite quote of mine which sorta relates to this is, "Whoever said the greatest loves had to last forever?" This was said by Tracey Ullman's character, Dr Tracey Clark, on Ally McBeal.

Be my guest. Because I forgot, the author is Elizabeth Gilbert.

Her time in India is so raw, isn't it? If you ever thought meditating or going to an ashram was "easy" or for the light of heart, her chapter is a good eye opener. She did some hard, hard work there, I thought.

I still can't help but wonder where you thought of me.
