Good day Divas
Have you ever found yourself caught between wanting to spend large amounts of time in your creative, life purpose endeavours, and at the same time wanting to experience a deeply loving relationship or even feeling the need to tend to an existing relationship, yet not quite sure how to handle the expectations and demands society has created around being “a couple” ?
Do relationship attachments become distractions? Personally I have felt, and have heard others express that when one is absorbed/possessed by the creative genius, whether that be in a project within a business work environment, or whether in an artist’s personal studio, that the attachments which come from being in a relationship with a significant other, actually inhibit the flow of creative transmission, which is trying to be received.
So how does one handle such periods of time? How does one navigate the meaningful relationship, keeping the needs of both individuals respected and met? Because often reality is that one or the other of the partners feels left out, neglected, not given enough attention, when the other is fully engaged with one’s work.
If the relationship with a partner becomes in fact a distraction, I feel there has got to be a better solution than simply: being with a lover in a mannered, lame, non present state; standing on the sidelines as simply an observer of relationships; or avoiding relationships altogether for a period of time.
Can we not have a new blueprint for relationships when we are in an inspired working mode; when we are serving humanity through our purpose, and letting the Divine creative process flow through us?
What would an ideal blueprint look like for You? This morning I am visualizing… being completely engrossed in my work and life path, yet setting aside special times through out the creative process, where I completely disconnect from the work, where instead I can fully engage and live in the human experience – enjoying among everything else the deliciousness of a lover/ partner/significant other/...
I want to believe that two people can cultivate a deep, rich, satisfying relationship; an awesome connection/compatibility combined with fabulous chemistry and unconditional acceptance and love, while remaining true to their Soul’s purpose and scriptures; reassuring both his and my healthy Egos and Souls through out the process, that we are appreciated, cherished, valued, and loved even through the absences (physical, or mental); that the ribbon of mutual caring, nurturing, and loving remains present although at times perhaps invisible.
I imagine regular intervals of several days/weeks where his and mine’s life’s purposes get told we are taking a time out … a time out to delight and immerse ourselves in the ocean of connection, loving expression…
I am under no illusions… this blue print would require an internal capacity which is not encouraged or taught in our western world. It would demand from both parties a strong willingness to be deeply open, honest, authentic, truly vulnerable… a requirement to admit when our buttons of abandonment, jealousy, feelings of “not good enough”, and feelings of scared… get pushed.
Yet, I imagine a new dance of love being birthed, a dance that accommodates both the Soul’s purpose and the intensity of a fabulous relationship, in a growth- full, expansive manner.
What do you feel?
Wishing you a new week filled with much love and light,
Lynette
