Cheryl

So it could be concluded that since this is not the first time I have met a soul-mate, as such an experience described, but have had the same experience any number of times over the years, that one does not have one particular soul-mate but can have any number drifting around. Or it may be that on a certain level of consciousness we are all soul-mates. But then there is the problem of mind and the differences in background, culture, consciousness, understanding and mutual interests. Does love overcome all? How do soul-mates bridge what might be vast differences in mentality? Are soul-mates only an illusion in the realm of imaginary girlfriends? Probably soul-mates can accept each other's differences without qualification. You be you, and I be me, with any number of compromises for shared experience.

So have talked to Cheryl only briefly my last couple of visits. The last time I said, "If you need anything let me know. I am for you". She said, "I know where to reach you.". Wasn't quite sure what that mean. So decided to leave it at that. She knows how to reach me - forget about it, if I have the will. Good place to leave it and end this story.

Damn - I was going to end it here. But I don't seem to be able. God - she was gorgeous today. I didn't recognize her. I was wondering if I was in the right line. I asked loudly over the people in front of me, "Cheryl is that you?". She said, "Yes it is me". I don't know what she did to herself but she was amazingly beautiful. I threw the I Ching on us awhile back. I got Revolution (Molting), fire and water. We are so completely opposite it is like revolution. In a way she is perfect for me. She is so busy that it would leave me most of my time free. She lives not that far. But on the other hand the difference in age, knowledge, interests, consciousness, physical capability and can't forget, she told me she said she has a boyfriend, makes it improbable. And then again does she comport to the last ten years of my future - give or take?

Same day but earlier at the lake, I met a Chinese woman. She had a camera and I started talking to her about bird life. Showed her my bird identification card and amazingly, she is the first person I have ever met that already had one at home - she said. I showed her my baby binoculars and she was very impressed. I flirted with her for about a walking mile around the lake. I gave it my best shot. She was more my age, retired, lived not far, no ring, great personality and loved to smile and laugh. Slipped into the conversation some of my particulars, my office hours at the lake, and that I was available. In the end she was walking faster than me and I decided not to try to keep up. I wasn't getting much response in terms of interest. Again the consciousness is like night and day. But I don't care. If she can appreciate the present moment which she could - it might suffice. She made no effort in my direction. She is probably married. She stopped and said she was going on. I said nice to meet you and she went on her way. Keep hope alive. She knows where to find me. As I said to Joe a little while later, "... here I come along; she already has her life. She would have to make enormous changes to her existence. It would take her awhile to even consider changing her whole future to accommadate me".
