A Special Gift

Our paths are different yet parallel, and so are our lives. She is younger than me, perhaps as much as 15 years. She is tall and slender, as is her twin flame. She first came into the shop several years ago, as part of a three-some. Now they are a two-some, happy in each other.

Her path is very spiritual, as is mine. Sometimes she walks with me on mine; other times I walk on hers. In either event, we walk together as one. She will very often feel my physical pain. She knows when I am in any sort of danger, and can usually warn me in time. We are each other's 'sounding board' for any dilemma that confronts us. We protect each other with 'gifts'. Our gifts to each other are different from what you would expect. Feathers, animal bones, stones, animal teeth, herbs. Things that protect each of us from whatever we are facing at the time.

We have known each other many times, in many ways, in many lifetimes. We are comfortable being in each other's company - whether in person, on the phone, or in dreams and the spiritual realm in which we live.

Our personal lives are so much the same that it is sometimes scary. We have both been through abusive relationships, family difficulties, and the loss of loved ones. She can hear my Bear. I know this because she has told me many things that only he and I would know. We have few common friends, and none of them knew Bear.

Does it bother either of us that we have such a close bond? Absolutely not. We both know that we were supposed to find each other in this lifetime, and that we will be protecting and helping each other when we pass into the next.
