Can a friend be a soulmate or is a soulmate just the one, the one person we have all been lead to believe is out there, just waiting for us, to the exclusion of all others? I am not altogether sure why we have been indoctrinated this way (is this the fault of Hallmark or religious types?) but I do believe that we are allowed more than one soulmate during our lifetime, and call me greedy, but we can have more than one soulmate on the go at the same time.
Of course I am talking about friends. Having more than one lover is just a recipe for disaster. Not that I would know anything about that of course, I’m really not the heartbreaking kind and besides, things like that always come back to bite you on the bum at some point. But due to the content of my last post, I thought maybe it was the right time to mention that sometimes you just get lucky with your friends. And new friends who come into your life and make you feel that you have known them for a long time and you feel comfortable with them, like your favourite pair of jeans, and you can’t explain why this should be.
I have experienced this lately with new friends. Sweet, gentle people. Someone once told me that beautiful people have beautiful friends - and if this is true - then I surely must have done something good to have such beauty in my life. And I am not just talking about the physical, although, that is true of them also.
If a person shows you his or her soul without fear of being denied, then you are in the presence of a soulmate. For what is a soulmate if not someone who has given you the very essence of who they are? And that is the gift you treasure forever.
