They had met for Thai food and conversation, it had been 2.5yrs since their paths had cross, the last time they met he had driven up from Italy to Austria in 2010 to meet her in the city of Vienna. They spent four days together sight-seeing eating delicious foods, drinking wine and visiting historical sites, she had cried heavy when he took her to the airport and said goodbye.

Now by the mysterious written words of the Universe she had moved thousands of miles and ended up in the same city as he had.

Their first meeting ever in this life was the summer of 2008 while living in the middle east. They instantly formed a quick friendship. She loved his witty and straight forward personality, he loved her caring, accepting, personality. The day he was leaving he expressed his love for her in a long letter. She was speechless, because she knew that he was in a relationship with a man, and she didn’t want to make life confusing for him, but more herself. So she replied back to him that she was really flattered and she loved him as well and they should remain in contact, he will always be a dear friend to her. 

He felt the love and chemistry attraction for her, but he didn’t realize that the feelings came from a spiritual realm. 

That night after eating Thai food they had went to a small mystical coffee shop and entered another realm. She felt drunk, euphoric, stoned as she engaged in conversation with him and his lover. Laughing loudly about the concept of having a doppelgangers, and living out our dreams, how surreal it felt, but how grateful and thankful they are  living life and enjoying life.

They spoke about God, hell, the meaning of life, and life after death. During the conversation she mentioned to them that she felt drunk, euphoric, or stoned… They mentioned that it was only because she needed to get out the house and hang out, but they had a similar feeling as well. So they all blamed it on the food and the mysterious coffee shop.

She knew that it wasn’t due to the food or the small mystic coffee shop, she had this feeling before when she had been around shamans and other believers in magic. Those who were able to tap into the many realms of the universe. Those who could converse with the angels, who were one with the colors of Love, those who surrendered to God.

Due to all the business of the physical world, it hadn’t occurred to her that he was a soul mate of hers until recently after a night of Thai food, strolling through vintage bookstores, and a long walk to his house and spotting many deers in the nearby field, they watched re-run episodes of wonder years, and she felt a nostalgic essence enter her mind and body. The night became late and his lover said that she should sleep over and leave in the next day. She felt perfectly safe in their company so she showered and settled in on their sofa for the night.

That morning while riding the train home she realized she loved him strongly and she was able to understand that the love was a love that had traveled through many lives between them, and it was here in this life as well.

She wondered if she would have to remind him of their connection, but then again she questioned was it him who was there to remind her of their connection?

She was thankful that this time would be easier, she wouldn’t have to fall in love on a physical level with him like she had with a previous soul mate, he was homosexual and she had no intentions of setting herself up for obvious failure.
