PATHWAY TO JOY AND HEALING

Today, I learned another great lesson in my life. About a year ago, I met a wonderful male friend who is very much like me.  We are like brother and sister, since we have similar parents and upbringing.  We spent lots of time outdoors hiking, kayaking, and camping with friends together.  My purpose for meeting him is because I have very few male friends I can trust because of the childhood abuse I suffered by my father.  Meeting him showed me that there are good men out there who won’t hurt me.

Several months into our friendship, he stopped communicating with me.  He started dating a woman and became very busy in his children’s lives. At first, I felt sad about losing my friends, but something in me told me to set him free.  I realized that he needed to do these things for his life that was best for him.  That was eight months ago.

This week, I received an email from him asking me to go hiking together like old times.  I was thrilled to hear from him and to have a hiking buddy again. When I saw him, I thanked him for teaching me this very important lesson, “If you love someone, set them free.”  It is a paradox that we must be prepared to set someone we love free to do what they need for their life. My friend returned to me because we are intended to be friends.  May you set your loved ones free, Brooke (Copyright 2013 Kundalini Spirit with All Rights Reserved)
