To let go of the fear and anger which imprisons my heart,
To relinquish all childish expectations and live joyfully in the world as it is - not as I wish or imagine it to be,
To be free of the always craven and ever-craving ego,
To be released from the endless hungers of the body,
To see God in others,
To see God in everything,
To die without death and merge the conscientiousness into the cosmic sea of bliss from which it came,
This is my soul's journey.

Happiness is...
I've found so many quotes recently that have spoken to my reawakened heart. Jane Austen wrote in Sense and Sensibility, "It is not time or opportunity that is to determine intimacy;-- it is disposition alone. Seven years would be insufficient to make some people acquainted with each other, and seven days are more than enough for others." I also found, "Be so happy that when others look at you they become happy too."
If you haven't caught on yet, I am in love. I have only been dating this man for almost two months, but it feels as though it has been a lifetime, and we have the opportunity to spend another lifetime together. Wow! I just read that back to myself and realize how uncharacteristic that statement is of me. I think I've found the man I am going to marry.
I can tell him anything that is on my mind. I can be a dork, nerd, weirdo around him. He also makes me want to be the sexiest I can, just for him. He's ambitious, compassionate, helpful, brilliant, dependable, humble, and giving. He fits the bill, both mine and the one my cousins gave me. He's tall, handsome, smart, has a nice smile, is completely into me, strong physically and emotionally, attends church, and the fact that he's in medical school doesn't hurt at all. My cousins required that my future spouse/partner/etc... be tall, athletic, smart, smart ass, out-spoken, and a poker player. Again, I say, he fits both bills.
Because of him, I want to achieve more. I want to do good in the world, and I feel like I can now. I know I could before, but now it's like the possibilities and opportunities are endless. My mind never strays far from him. I am bewitched, bothered, and bewildered in the most wonderful sort of way.
