Walking Each Other Home: A Story of Love, Surrender & Becoming
What if the best love story of our lives had to transition in order to unlock each other into our next chapter of becoming?
Last week was our 9 month anniversary and also the completion of our romantic chapter together. Neither of us saw this coming. 9 months. Just enough time to birth entirely new versions of ourselves.
Our journey was mystically guided from the very beginning. The synchronicities, the prayers, the ceremonies, the healing, the worldwide adventures, the lessons, the initiations.
It was one of those relationships where you know something bigger than you is involved. And when our guides, God and the Universe intervened this week to redirect us, we had to surrender, trust and listen.
In spiritual partnerships, when you are walking closely with the divine, one day everything can feel perfect and the next day you are being called onto a completely different path.
And that’s what happened here. Energy shifted and when the message came through that our karmic relationship had reached completion, that the initiations were complete, and that we were being called into a new chapter, neither of us wanted to believe it.
We sat with it. We cried together. We prayed on it. We grieved it. And eventually we arrived at the same place. Trust.
What we get to celebrate today is the most beautiful 9 month love chapter of our lives.
A chapter filled with pure love, devotion, healing, repair, daily communion with God and the Universe and a deep commitment to each other’s growth. Union ceremonies together. Singing together. Dancing together. Building our temple together. Creating together. Writing together. Dreaming together. Laughing until we couldn’t breathe.
Cory showed me a love I had never experienced before. A day-to-day devotion. Caretaking even on the hard days. Endless presence. The deepest love. A steward of our Triveni Temple. He showed me the beauty of a simple life and reminded me that love is really all we need. He mirrored back my wounds, fears and insecurities so they could be met with love, acceptance and transformation. He supported me through health challenges when we first met and played a profound role in my healing journey, something I will forever be grateful for. He also is walking beside me through the writing of my book, holding space for the vision, the breakdowns, the breakthroughs and all the messy parts in between.
Cass showed me how to extend my heart into realms beyond what I thought I was capable of. A kind of support which was capable of holding me into the lightest lights and comforting me through the darkest darks. A ceaseless joy. Caring which was so playful and flirty. An unending inspiration to take life in positively, in spite of what my ego-mind wanted to complain about. She brought me into and supported my most profound passions, which healed me in ways I couldn’t conceive of before. She showed me my anger, my judgments, the most subtle and scared parts of me which meditation and all the conventional spiritual practice in the world couldn’t show me. She helped me build the content of my dreams as we practiced our Art of Love together which led to a beautiful birthing of Relationship Yoga’s first course. She brought life’s magic back. She will continue to inspire me with all she creates and integrates, as we grow our community together with those who are taking the less traveled path–walking each other back home.
Some people come into our lives for a reason, a season or a lifetime. And we are definitely lifetimers.
Perhaps our greatest realization is that divine union isn’t about finding completion in another person. Perhaps it’s about walking each other home to ourselves. Healing what came here to be healed. Learning what came here to be learned. Turning the karmic wheel together. And loving each other enough to let go when the initiations are complete.
Trusting that love can remain even when the relationship changes form. And honoring that sometimes the next chapter of becoming is meant to be walked in our own sovereignty.
For us, this isn’t another story of heartbreak. It’s a story of pure love. A celebration of growth and healing. A story of two souls who answered the call, forever changed each other’s lives, and are now being guided into their next chapter. While our romantic chapter may be complete, we move forward as best friends, soulmates, brother and sister, co-creators and lifelong spiritual partners on this journey.
The relationship is evolving. The love is not. And maybe that’s what real love is. Learning to love someone enough to let them fly.
Love,
Cass + Cory
