When you meet someone new and are walking in the clouds, good friends bring you back to the reality of “Who is he?” or “Who is she?”
You might sit and talk and even make a pros and cons checklist. And if you are a list maker — let’s not forget the weighted average. He or she may be a 10 however, there may be one trait that screams, “walk away.” Are you willing to listen to friends and to your heart?
When you are listening to music, oftentimes it is in the context of background music — in the house, the car. At a concert, however, you become absorbed in the music. If you meditate, you become absorbed in the silence.
Absorbed with love: Try taking some quiet time to listen for love. We often need to make a change in our lives in order to give ourselves permission to love, and to clear our heads so that we can hear – love.
What does love sound like? It is a still small voice in our heart that comes with contentment, and a feeling that you know is just right. When that happens you may have to take a chance on love. Just one word of caution — are you someone who always goes back to what you know? And if what you know is diaster, then maybe while your head is in the clouds, you should walk away.
However, if you are just afraid to go forward with a new and different love — a person who really loves you and isn’t coming with too much baggage or hidden agendas — then a friend will help you move forward with a feeling of joy.
