I met my husband when I was 42 and he was 40; I hope you will find your partner sooner. But either way, God will never let you down and I promise that Love will only get more intense and wonderful over time.

Thanks for your comment on my blog www...Hey Jamie,<br /><br />Thanks for your comment on my blog www.mysticalbeloved.com. I'm returning the favour. I loved reading your story as this kind of narrative is so rare. I'm at the stage you were at when you decided to enter a celibate lifestyle to pursue your love of God. But I am drawn to human companionship as well, so I often feel torn. But you really put your finger on something I've been trying to articulate for a while. I'm simply not interested in being in love with a human being who isn't also in love with God. There is no way to make it work because then the expectation would always be that the human partner is the ideal, the focus on devotion. Like you, I want somebody who is committed to God as their true Beloved and is looking for a earthly companion and ally, to be a partner in devotion. <br /><br />I had to laugh when you wrote, "The men I liked best were celibate yogis; I loved that they loved God, but unfortunately they didn’t want to share Him with a woman." I have felt the same doubts about ever meeting a man or women to share my life with. At my age (32) it seems like most of the singles I meet are so focused on career and/or having kids that they don't have time for spirituality. I guess, the lesson I take away from reading your story is to just chill out and enjoy my celibacy and the time it allows me to focus on my sadhana. When the time is right, I might meet that special yogi or yogini.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1719625071764244044.post-91728991509663392472014-06-03T14:20:45.912-07:002014-06-03T14:20:45.912-07:00thx, glad you enjoyed it! namaste. <3thx, glad you enjoyed it! namaste. <3Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00926190160643713538noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1719625071764244044.post-21606840750385477172014-06-03T11:27:47.117-07:002014-06-03T11:27:47.117-07:00What a lovely storyWhat a lovely storyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
