keeping the dialog alive...

Rabbi Iaakov’s wife was always looking for an excuse to argue with her husband. Iaakov never reacted to her provocations. Until one night when, during a dinner with some friends, the rabbi had a ferocious argument with his wife to the surprise of all at the table.

“What happened?” they asked. “Why did you break your habit of never answering?”

“Because I realized that what bothered my wife the most was the fact that I remained silent. Acting in this way, I remained far from her emotions. My reaction was an act of love, now she understands that I hear her words.”

rambling...

♫ I'm not stubborn, not narrow-minded, not lazy, not stupid or maybe all of them.

I have to clear it up inside, need to leave some things up in the air, like a kind of mystery one gives up on, because there is no sense in just going round and round and round looking for an answer that's not there.

Soulmate...

A soulmate is someone who has locks that fit our keys,
and keys to fit our locks.

When we feel safe enough to open the locks,
Our truest selves step out
and we can be completely and honestly who we are;

We can be loved for who we are
and not for who we're pretending to be.
Each unveils the best part of the other.

No matter what else goes wrong around us,
with that one person we're safe in our own paradise.

Our soulmate is someone who shares our deepest longings,
our sense of direction.

When we're two balloons, and together our direction is up,
chances are we've found the right person.

Our soulmate is the one who makes life come to life.

-- Richard Bach
