Smooth sailing

I have met people in my life, who knew from the moment they met me, that I was someone important to them. At that time. Unable to explain it, they naturally attached themselves to me. I was too absorbed in living my life and making a living to pay much attention to it. Each encounter would take its predestined course, and some of them are still in full force in my life.

As I have gone through tremendous changes over the last 3 ongoing years, I have found an increase of encounters where I seem to be the one who knew from the first moment that the other person was someone important. To me and for me. Yet that does not give me the right to barge in on someone’s personal space and invade their energy, or their life. As much as I believe in the validity of our connection. I have to consider the other person’s point of view and respect their beliefs on what is best for their life. No matter if they also feel that some bond of connection.

I look at these encounters like waves in the ocean. As we crash into each other, what kind of force are we creating for each other or even for our surroundings? Would we roll in harmony, helping both of us reach our shores peacefully? Or would we create monster waves for each other, drowning out our real reasons for being here? No matter how much I may believe that an encounter is something for me to have in my life, does not mean it to be true. Sometimes the encounter is just an undercurrent that is pulling me somewhere I don’t need to be and it’s best to allow it to follow its own course. Without me.
