Notes from the Weekend

Allo, mes amis. The Voodoo has had quite a busy weekend. The Voodoo Doctors got together for a summit at the mansion. Four single women, all chillin' in the crib. How cool is that. We got together on Friday with the intent on doing some work, but hell, we did other kinda work, just mackin' and hangin', ya heard. We had to talk about some pressing issues in our lives, and I can't tell you any of that because I would have to kill you. (Men, balancing professional life and personal life, good books, meditation, what to do with our free time, and prepare to die).

And one of the things we talked about were soulmates.

Many people think of soulmates as a person you spend the rest of your life with. The soulmate is your Significant Other, you know, Babies, the one who you're destined to meet at any point of the globe, at any given day and time. It's like a cosmic get together, the bells go off, the birds start singing and the earth shakes (if you're in San Francisco, this happens every single day, so don't get thrilled, Frisco Babies). It's deeper than Love, deeper than the deep blue sea, which at times IS deeper than Love, the way it's going.

The Soulmate of your dreams and your reality may be anyone. You never know, an anonymous face that crosses your path could be The One. But let's make one thing clear, Childrens. The idea of Soulmates has taken on an feel of the romantic. I contend that Soulmates aren't necessarily romantic involvements, they may be friends. Eros, as it would seem, doesn't necessarily have to be the thing. Romance clouds. It's sweeter if it's a romantic attachment, but that's not a prerequisite.

I'm sure you have met someone you feel is your Soulmate. And then you change your mind later on. You meet someone new. New Soulmate. That happens, we're fickle people like that. But True Soulmates don't change overtime, they are as they are. Multiple Soulmates, too. I bet that's a big surprise. You know, it's ideal that we all have one, but there are more than one if you want to consider that Soulmates are not really romantic involvements, they can also be friends.

What is a Soulmate? Someone who knows you for what you are, good and bad. Someone who likes you nonetheless. Someone who knows your truths. Someone who understands you, and tells you about yourself, good and bad. Oh yah, and all of that happens before you've even met. I know for a fact who mine are. Remember the reincarnation stuff we talked about the other day? We are surrounded by people throughout our lives, the reincarnated ones. Each one of us meet the same people over and over. Those are your Soulmates. Back and forth we go, meeting the same people over and over. Imagine the possibilities.

I know who mine are, and I look forward to seeing you again real soon.

oodoo it's da Voodoo
