Lost Like Ancient

In the sound of his voice
I was lost and destroyed
Like an ancient civilization
Only to be discovered again
The first time that he said my name.

Sometimes when we meet someone for the first time our connection with them is immediate, intimate, familiar and we feel as if we have met them before somewhere so far outside of our traditional timeline. And when our eyes meet we tend to lose ourselves for a minute in each other, and at the same moment we find a new part of ourselves in that connection. There is much to be discovered in solitude but there are certain aspects of love, depth, life and art that we will never learn until we let someone in all the way and love them and let them love us back.

      Thank you Anthea, I am just learning this. I’ve always been a bit of a loner, afraid to let anyone in too close, afraid of getting hurt. And I have learned so much through solitude, but I have realized recently there is also so much to learn about ourselves, about love and the great mysteries of life from our connections with others. Still truly connecting with others means being vulnerable, letting people in, accepting ourselves for who we are and letting others truly see us as well. That can be frightening, because when we let others in, when we show we need them or want them in our life, we chance rejection and rejection hurts like hell; but if we don’t take that chance we don’t truly experience love and missing out on love hurts worse than rejection. So I am realizing my relationships are just as important to my spiritual growth and my life as my solitude. I’m sure many people already know this – but It’s new for me :).
