~ LOVE ORDAINED ~

Human beings, as a species, are many things. But one of the things they provably are, as a breed, is fundamentally foolish.

They are more foolish than a five-and-dime full of orangutans. And they too often are convinced they are “wise” and “right” when they haven’t got a clue what they are really doing. The greatest proof of this is the mere existence of “the bomb”; a nuclear weapon capable of destroying themselves, their entire species, along with most other living things on the planet in one fell swoop.

Yep, humans as a breed are consistently the biggest fools of all living species.

Humans will also finally find the truest, deepest, and most intimate love they’ve ever known – after a lifetime of searching for it – then, given enough slack (and time) they will dump it and dismiss it – if they can — as if such love they once recognized for what it is can be readily replaced by someone new waiting in line.

And they’ll throw away this rare and valuable love because it isn’t new anymore, or because the road they are on has gotten too tough and rough for a while, or because the one with whom they’ve shared this unprecedented love now has a wrinkle or two or some quirk that starts to get on their nerves. Or they’ll throw it away because they get scared, too scared to face the future together with someone so intimate, who has touched them so deeply.

Given enough time and slack, people too often can get to where they can’t see the forest for the trees, and they start taking for granted and treating as routine this rare gift they’ve been given.

But, sometimes, it ain’t that easy.

Sometimes a love is ordained.

Sometimes a rare and powerful love simply is, from the very beginning, ordained to be.

Two people, two spirits, meet in such a rare, easy-flowing and organic way, with such symbiosis betwixt the two at that moment they first conceive, that they almost immediately give birth to a love and a relationship with its own primal power, that is forever bigger than either person, bigger than either spirit is individually. Yes, it is bigger than they, and it will forever be beyond their individual control.

And that can be scary if you believe in security when all wise folk know there is no such thing as security. Yes, if you lack the wisdom of insecurity, such a love can be terribly scary.

Because such a love and spiritual connection has a life of its own.

Either person, as they travel farther along what they cutely call “their path”, may find themselves on rocky roads, and either one may one day try to end what was created in such a holy way when they first met and joined in communion. But neither person, no matter what they say or try to do, can every really end an ordained love.

Because that love and connection these two birthed together, simply is and will be. And even if their circumstances go sour, their love and spiritual connection will still be there, in one way or another, and will be an everpresent fixture in their lives until they are both dead and gone.

Over time, over the years, this love remains such an undeniable force, yet may come to manifest itself in a wide range of incarnations, some good, some not so good, some completely unhealthy. Either of the two people to whom it was born, may try to ignore it or dismiss it or pretend it no longer exists, in futile efforts to make this love go away, this love that is bigger than they.

But as long as even one of these two people is left alive, this love of such fundament and power will continue to haunt them if they do not try to make it right and fulfill its promise.

The one thing they can never accomplish is to rid themselves of that love and connection by trying to just let go (the infamous “let go and move on”), or hide it away in a box (that age-old survival mechanism for the weak: compartimentalization), or by one demonizing the other into someone they are not and never were, or by lying to themselves — trying to sweep it away, under the rug, like it was only the fleeting passion of just another passing love affair.

That’s because, it was clear and evident on that day and ever since that day these two spirits first met, that day they said, “Welcome home.”

Why, you’d think any fool could see it.

These two were fated to be father and mother and gifted lovers, gifted with magic if they could only embrace it and not run scared.

They were gifted with a love ordained.
