Check the box or check with the spirits?

  Who would have thought we would have to go through spiritual steps to find out if it is acceptable for us to date or marry a sister?  Especially for those of us who grew up doing things a totally different way.  I remember back in elementary school when we would simply write a note and draw two boxes on it, one with yes, the other with no.  Whichever box was checked would determine your fate.  Now it's a more divine way of finding out which road we should take and the necessary steps to get there.  Its a beautiful process and well worth the wait.  We can't afford to be upset or hurt at the outcome if it isn't in our personal interest, it simply is what it is.  Truthfully it is in our best interest when we understand it.  If it does turn out the way we are hoping for then so be it and enjoy your happiness.  

Ah, The beauty of being an adult. The beauty of divine love.
