I found out today about a couple I know - that is no longer a couple. I was at their small wedding. It was at their home and it was near Christmas. It was beautiful. She was 40. She was so happy.
They are now divorced.
I feel sad and mourn their lost love.
What course of events led to this? What happened to unravel their beautiful tapestry of wedded bliss? How does this occur?
It's not only this couple, but several in the last few months. About 6 couples that I know are divorced or in the process...or want to, but aren't able to 'go there' yet. It breaks this girl's heart. I can only imagine their respective pains, their frayed hearts. Their shared memories...was it worth it to them? For however long each couple has been together - was it worth it? Was it wonderful? Was it a 'waste' in their minds...something they wish had never been embarked upon - or was the love they shared worth it?
I hope so.
To all my newly single peeps - sending you much love and comfort and wholeness tonight. Somehow I know that being married isn't the 'answer'. Being single isn't the 'answer'. What is the answer??? Tonight, I'm not even sure what the question is, but I know that I long to go deep to discover the mysterious YES that my heart beats to find. I intend to dive into the unending pool of divine union, holy connection and mind-blowing love.
I'm a single woman at present. I went to a product party the other night. The kind where you sit in a circle with a bunch of other women, most of whom you don't know - and listen to someone sell you stuff. They can be fun, but this one - not so much. Anyway, the product was up my alley - rub-on words for your walls... O.k. - all of that about the party is really beside the point - the point is this. I decided to purchase a quote for my bedroom. It's intended for a married couple's bedroom. But, I feel married. I feel like that's me, too. Right now. In. This. Place. Where. I. Live.
So, I purchased the quote" Your LOVE is my light, SUN of all my mornings, FIRE of all my nights"...if that isn't appropriate for this divine dance, I don't know what is. I celebrate my married-ness while being a single woman. I say that it's for me, too. Whether or not I'm always a single girl on the outside, I will forever be a married woman on the inside. I say it now, in my little cottage - my land is called "BEULAH". I stand in the place where I am...in the place that is un-divorce-able...and STAND.
Blessings and life and love and light abundant to you all - especially who are hurting or are newly 'single'. May you always be married in your own self.
