THAT QUESTION OF MARRIAGE

Member of the General Populous: But don’t you want to get married?

Deliberately Mindful Member of the General Populous: You know what I’d REALLY want? To experience a loving relationship with another person comprised of the following ingredients: heart centered, emotionally, physically, mentally, spiritually Healthy for all directly involved, calls forth my compassion & passion, calls forth the fearlessness to open my heart/spirit, calls forth the strength and courage to speak from my heart always, calls forth the clarity to request guidance from my Higher Self at any given moment and expect said guidance, calls forth my ability to play, laugh, be courageous, inspire and be inspired, and reminds me how alive and capable and extraordinary I inherently am.

Member of the General Populous: You’re asking for a lot.
Deliberately Mindful Member of the General Populous: I’m worth it. So are you. So is everyone-- if that’s what they want. Honestly, that’s what I’m interested in and if it happens to include the label of marriage, well then, as long as I’ve clearly & deliberately defined the details, “Why not?”

It’s gotten off on the right foot. That’s a very good beginning..."
