The End of Old Relationships and the Embrace of New Ones

I offer this reprint since it seems that many have recently ended relationships, or are dealing with past relationship memories that aren't going away gracefully. Though some of the aspects I wrote about have ended, others are still in full force. For your consideration, An Open Letter About Ending Relationships and Beginning New Ones.

Hi Ian - Glad I had the awareness to tune in to what seems to be a shared issue for many right now. With Saturn trine Pluto it somehow doesn't surprise me, but it's never easy when we realize we have other dreams to dream. May the new year bless you with a grand adventure that is perfect for the development of your Higher Self.

i think there is potential for change in any relationship provided every now and then we are willing to step back and let things take their own course, then come back anew, see what one's role is, awareness is so vital in almost every part of life,

Hi abacus - Yes, every relationship is defined by the participants as they live that interaction on a daily and weekly basis. And sometimes, we grow apart for awhile before we find each other again, while at other times we grow apart and never get back on the same page. Whether this is a good thing or a bad thing remains in the eye of the beholder, and could be either the curse of conditional love and/or the supreme joy of limitless Love.

It's always tough to say goodbye, but I've found over the years that you can't hold on to that which has already ended, and even if we do "get back together," both have changed. Regardless of what caused an entrangement, separation, or even a mere shift in the relationship, we must continually renew our relationships based in who we each have become rather than the "way it used to be."

easier said than done but yes, our life and love is what we make of it and each involves a decent amount of work on oneself,

Hi abacus - "When all is said and done, more is said than done." ;-) Sometimes my wiseguy just can't help itself... While everything is what we make of it, and truly it does involve a "decent amount of work on oneself," part of my discipline is to remember that since Life is a Leela, we also are learning how to play.
