Sometimes spiritual guidance that calls one inward arrives through the voice of another…an observer with no agenda…one who says, “You are the strongest person I know. I love to see you smile. You deserve a partner who arrives with alignment, presence, and understands what a loving relationship truly is.”
As I listened, he spoke of how I had “spent years building a solid, beautiful foundation…brick by brick through recovery, prayer, self-care, and devotion to healing…and how someone who loves you does not arrive like a bulldozer, tearing through what took years to build.” He reminded me that respect is revealed in how someone moves within your space, and that what is truly loving does not arrive in a way that unsettles the soul.
And in that moment, I could hear and feel Spirit whisper:
“You can love the soul and humanity in someone… and still walk away from what is inimical to your well-being.”
It was a spiritual lesson delivered on an ordinary day…through a spontaneous invitation to lunch after years had passed…yet nothing about it was accidental. He was Spirit’s messenger. And on this day…clarity arrived…an unmistakable “aha” moment.
And I finally understand…
Empathy does not obligate proximity.
Understanding does not require endurance.
And I am at peace.
Love and blessings,
Wendy
