Do not look away from those who come your way, they are people, too, looking, lost, loving. Your time together may be a moment or a lifetime..whose to say? Cherish each moment for the good those moments bring you and embrace LOVE while you have it.

Love and Peace

I really loved your poem. It reminded me of another poem that was posted on Aeclectic Tarot Forum in February 2006, which I thought I'd share here too:

There are people who can walk away from you.
And hear me when I tell you this!
When people can walk away from you: let them walk.

I don't want you to try to talk another person into staying with you, loving you, calling you, caring about you, coming to see you, staying attached to you.

I mean hang up the phone.

When people can walk away from you let them walk.
Your destiny is never tied to anybody that left.

People leave you because they are not joined to you.
And if they are not joined to you,
you can't make them stay.
Let them go.

And it doesn't mean that they are a bad person,
it just means that their part in the story is over.
And you've got to know when people's
part in your story is over so that you
don't keep trying to raise the dead.

You've got to know when it's dead.
You've got to know when it's over.
Let me tell you something.
I've got the gift of good-bye.
It's the tenth spiritual gift,
I believe in good-bye.

It's not that I'm hateful, it's that I'm faithful,
and I know whatever God means for me to have
He'll give it to me.
And if it takes too much sweat I don't need it.
Stop begging people to stay.
Let them go!!

If you are holding on to something
that doesn't belong to you
and was never intended for your life,
then you need to ...LET IT GO!!!

If you are holding on to past hurts and pains ...
LET IT GO!!!

If someone can't treat you right,
love you back, and see your worth...
LET IT GO!!!

If someone has angered you ...
LET IT GO!!!

If you are holding on to some thoughts
of evil and revenge ..
LET IT GO!!!

If you are involved in a wrong relationship or addiction ...
LET IT GO!!!

If you are holding on to a job that no longer meets your needs or talents ..
LET IT GO!!!

If you have a bad attitude...
LET IT GO!!!

If you keep judging others to make yourself feel better...
LET IT GO!!!

If you're stuck in the past and God is trying
to take you to a new level in Him...
LET IT GO!!!

If you are struggling with the healing of a broken relationship....
LET IT GO!!!

If you keep trying to help someone
who won't even try to help themselves..
LET IT GO!!!

If you're feeling depressed and stressed ....
LET IT GO!!!

If there is a particular situation that you are so used to handling yourself and God is saying "take your hands off of it,

" then you need to...
LET IT GO!!!

Let the past be the past.
Forget the former things.
GOD is doing a new thing for 2006 !!!
LET IT GO!!!

Get Right or Get Left .. think about it, and then
LET IT GO!!!

On this long and arduous
path of Life
you find someone and you
just Know
that you were meant
to know their thoughts
and quiet breaths
and through this person
you See Yourself
shining
and in darkness
through their candid words
and silent Eyes,
learning that together
you can reach
for hidden Inward skies.

My Favourite one!
Marriage is not a ritual or an end.
It is a long intricate,
intimate dance together and nothing matters more your own sense of balance and
your choice of partner.

As hard as you think it's going to be, you only end up wishing it were that easy.

What if you let go
And they just keep coming
Back?...........

posted November 02, 2006 06:32 PM         

terri,
if they keep coming back, then you will still have etheric cords. You need to make some concerted and visual effort to cut them.

Don't forget that when you do let someone go, it's always beautiful, no matter how horrible the relationship was/is, to send them love and light so they may continue on their own path of enlightenment.

posted November 02, 2006 10:33 PM         

I read today that letting go is:

caring enough to still be receptive and supportive while remaining detached to the possibility of any particular outcome...

hippichick....
When I first read your post it made me think of this quote:

"Love is a fire.
But whether it is going to warm your heart or burn down your house,
you can never tell."

Stargazer. I feel your pain. I hope the sun comes out with the brightness and freshness of a new tomorrow. You are a sweet soul. You have enormous strength to get through, whatever it is you are going through. Trust in yoursElf. Healing takes time. I know it's hard but you really do need to detach yoursElf from the outcome. Hand it over to your angels, or the universe for resolution. And have the faith to step back and let them deal with it.

And, hippichick, maybe it's like Stargazer says - yours has come back because he believes he has another chance.

You know, I was with a man for 18 months. I had left him three times this year already. First in January - he came back in February and agreed to see a counsellor. He went for one session, promised to make all these changes but did none of them. Second time was April Fool's day (how appropriate). He came back end of May saying he hadn't realised how much I'd meant until I'd gone. I fell for it again. Things went okay for a couple of months and then fell in a big hole. I had to leave him again in August. I heard from him in September but told him I had to love him and leave him behind, because he was too toxic for me.

posted November 04, 2006 01:52 AM         

I'm getting the feeling you're being a bit hard on yoursElf. Step back, take a deep breath and relax.

I have no idea what or who has caused you this pain but if it is love, you can be certain of one thing. It will find you again! Love does not discriminate against race or age. It can come at any time, sometimes when we least expect it.

(((((Gllf)))))

Don't close your heart away because things are too painful to bear. Feel all of your emotions because it will help you to move through to healing. Then, when you are ready, have faith and open your heart again.

Love this song....
"Angel"
Amanda Perez

Its been 5 months, since you went away
Left without a word, nothing to say (nothing to say)
When I was the one who gave you my heart and soul
But it wasn't good enough for you, oh no, so I asked god

God send me an angel from the heavens above
Send me an angel to heal my broken heart
From being in love
Cause all I do is cry
God send me an angel to wipe these tears from my eyes

And I know it might sound crazy,
But after all that I still loved you
You wanna come back in my life
But now there's something that I have to do
I have to tell the one that I once adored
That he cant have my love no mo'
My heart cant take no more lies
And my eyes are all out of cries, so god

God send me an angel from the heavens above
Send me an angel to heal my broken heart
From being in love
Cause all I do is cry (all I do is cry)
God send me an angel to wipe these tears from my eyes
(send me an angel)

Now you had me on my knees
Begging god please to
Send you back to me
I couldn't eat, I couldn't sleep
And you made me feel like I could not breathe
When I, all I wanted to do was feel your touch
And to give you all of my love (give you all of my love)
But you took my love for granted
All my love and now but you cant have it, oh god

God send me an angel from the heavens above
Send me an angel to heal my broken heart
From being in love
Cause all I do is cry ( is cry)
God send me an angel to wipe these tears from my eyes

You are looking at this the wrong way!

Don't cry because it's over. Smile because it happened!

Too many people get hung up on the idea that relationships are forever!

Let me tell you - not all relationships are forever. Some are meant to be short-lived. As humans, we have such a hard time accepting this.

Relationships help us grow as people. And, we are all here, to grow into the best people that we can be.

Look back on the relationships from your past. With each one, you would have learnt more about yoursElf. You would have grown. Would it have been a good thing to be back there?

I know it's hard to have a broken heart - we've all been there!

But you are love without a partner. We are all children of God (or the Universe, or whatever it is that you have faith in). We are love.

Heartbreak can feel like having a lollypop taken away from you before you get to finish it. (It sucks, literally!)

But while you had that lollypop, wasn't it the sweetest, most delectable thing you ever tasted? Would you rather have not tasted it at all? Though the lollypop itsElf was short-lived, you don't forget how it tasted! That is your memory to treasure forever!

We come into the world alone, and that's how we leave. Anything we experience in between is an absolute blessing.

Celebrate life for what you have - don't be miserable about what you don't.

Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery and today is a gift - that's why they call it the present!

posted November 07, 2006 05:59 PM         

Yes, I know you speak the truth, but the pain is very real.

I do celebrate, and thank the universe for each and every one of them, that is the origin of my topic starter, but it does not make the pain any less.

Star

Thank you for you kind words, I have given it up to a higher power, and feel it releasing as time goes by today.

I really loved your opening post. It was very beautiful.

I'm sorry if my post came through as trivialising your situation. It wasn't meant to. I have just recently recovered from heartbreak mysElf (August). I ended the relationship because I wasn't being treated well. It was a very hard thing for me to do.....love him, but let him go. I was so stressed by the entire process that I dropped two dress sizes. I'm only now starting to regain my appetite.

So yes, I know the pain is real.

Grieving for a relationship breakup will put you through the same emotions as grieving for the death of a loved one.

They are very real emotions - and no-one can seem to help us through them. It is a journey we must travel on our own. BUT we can surround oursElves with gentle, caring, and loving people.

When we interact with another person - etheric cords attach from our body to theirs. While these cords remain intact, the connection will be harder to sever. A good ritual to perform is to imagine an electric blue light, in a figure eight, with you and the other person in one circle each. Picture that light traveling in the eight formation, around each body. Then, gradually, sever the eight to form two independent circles. Now, picture the electric light around the individual circles, then finally, just around your own.

You can also visualise moving around the outside of your body, with a pair of scissors, knife, chainsaw (whatever implement you feel is necessary to sever the cords - and believe me, some of them are very thick and take a fair bit of chopping) and just chop away. If you renew contact with that person, the cord grows back. So, it needs to be chopped again. And we form these cords with everyone we come into contact with....even the checkout chic at the grocery store, or a stranger that walks past and says hello. Our auras are full of entangled cords and sometimes, they just need a good old prune.

I also have an Oracle deck called Letting Go. I used to pull a daily card for advice. It seemed to help at the time. The deck is by a woman called Melanie Beattie and the cards are based on a book she wrote (The Language of Letting Go).

Stargazer gave wonderful advice on handing your worries over to the angels. Talk to the stars - or, if you are near a river/stream, sit beside it thinking of your problem then, place your left-hand upright to receive guidance, and your right-hand in the water. And let your worries (attachment to the outcome) float downstream.

It's a rotten time for you now, Terri. I hope that you can at least find some comfort in sharing your problems.

The pain will subside.. I know

I've moved on from many! I would never regret loving them. And am grateful for what they brought to me, showed me, and left me with.

Friends, lovers and even enemies are all my mirrors. They show me things about myself I might have otherwise missed. I attracted them to me for a reason...

It's just this one has been harder than all the rest.. Harder to "let go".. I am just so incredibly sad.. And this from someone with an Aries Moon.. who with anyone else has been able to leap and build another fire....and say "NEXT" especially when I've been hurt. This one touched me deeply..
I miss him...thats all there is right now ..
A void.

Thank you for your words.. you are right...
And yes, people lose in love everyday..

I do smile... alot actually... It's probably my best feature. Like right now...the corners of my mouth are sitting right below my tear stained cheeks....

posted November 08, 2006 04:56 PM         

I'm an Aries Moon too (in the 7th House of all places)!

Hope you're both (Stargazer and hippichick) feeling a bit better everyday.
