I’ll see you next lifetime
I got in a heated discussion with a filmmaker friend on Saturday about truth, relationships, growth, and Spirit. I gave him my standard refrain – I want someone who can handle my truth without fear and who is willing to bring theirs without fear. He said: There are many truths.
At the end of an intense back and forth, he said, “You’re ready.” And then he started filming.
Ready for love
Ready to f l y
Ready for now
The state of grace in a relationship involves absolute truthfulness between two people, between two things, or between a person and a thing, without fear or deception and with a certainty of acceptance. It means not only honesty with the other person, but also honesty with yourself. Otherwise, what is at work is not Spirit, but something else.
— Sobonfu Somé, “Falling Out of Grace”, p. 103.
There must be a certainty of acceptance. There are times when loved ones cannot accept or forgive trespasses. It’s happened to me both ways.
[Non sequiter]: My friend who is unavailable, I say to you, I’m ready, I feel the heat between you and me, indeed, but I’m ready for someone available. You, I guess I’ll see you next lifetime.
