My friend who invited me up north to speak to her medical patients is a bit of a mystic. She is a therapist/health educator with a degree in East-West therapeutic practices. She has an aura about her that is the emotional equivalent of heroin, I think. Sit in her space for two minutes, and every ounce of stress, discomfort and anxiety will melt away. She is gifted beyond measure.
So imagine my excitement to get a call from her inviting me to talk with her medical group. Any time spent with her is a rare treat, but on this occasion, I really couldn’t contain my excitement. This was an opportunity for her to meet Drama Geek. I won’t say that my sun rises and sets on her opinion, but this woman is astute and gifted with keen intuition. If there were any chinks in his armor to be found, she’d see them in an instant.
Drama Geek knew little about her when I informed him of the invitation, aside from the fact that she was “amazing,” “great” and that I couldn’t wait to see what he thought of her. And she knew absolutely nothing of him. I hadn’t even told her I was dating until she called.
But the meeting of the two of them was incredible.
As soon as she saw him from across the room, she said, “He’s the one.”
I giggled and said, “I’d like to think so.”
Then she got very stern for a moment and said, “No, I mean it. He is the one. He is your soul mate. You have the same eyes, the same soul.”
Huh…so I guess it’s really not all in my head after all.
After the meetings finished, we all went out to dinner. Her best friend joined us and they were both very curious about how we met. I let him tell the story, because he imparts a magic into the moment that I have yet to master. I am just too direct; and I tend to speak in bullet points.
They were in awe of our meeting, referring to it as predestined. Of course, we both agree. That’s how we describe our relationship to those in our inner circle. We believe that we are the partners God designed for each of us all along – it just took us some time to be open to His plan.
