Relating Anew

Once the realization is accepted that even between the closest human beings infinite distances continue, a wonderful living side by side can grow, if they succeed in loving the distance between them which makes it possible for each to see the other whole against the sky. Rainer Maria Rilke

In your coming together with another never forget the sovereignty of spirit that will continue to nourish the relating.

Over time it can happen that you fall into a groove, a way of being with one another, that no longer taps into the spark that created the connection. Whether it’s your spouse or your sister, a lover or a friend, being in relation to the magnificent and unique essence of one another will tap into the ever present stream of aliveness.

There are many theories about love, relationship, connection, etc. What do YOU know about relating and the ‘being with’ another? Do you distinguish between your partner and a friend? Are you ‘different’ with someone that you have sex with? Do different rules apply to different relationships? What assumptions have you made? Is it true today?

Your engagement of one another will be rich and dynamic when you relate essence to essence, core to core, regardless of the outward ‘relationship.’ Breathe the newness of now into everyone you encounter and you will be graced with more of what’s true for you and all.
