Soulmate

"Soulmate" – the word itself is so sweet, that the reactions are bound to be sweet.

Let me first thank my fellow bloggers who voted for the topic and made it a topic for 50th edition of Indispire, thus giving me an opportunity to have a panorama of views on the word, its understanding and perception. As the topic was started by me, I am having a close watch on the responses too. And I find -- it has inspired . Inspired us to write, inspired to research - inspired to debate and inpired to pour our hearts out.

Before I pour my heart out on the topic (A poem), I would take the opportunity to sum up the different responses till now as below:

Amita – in her take as “Soulmate – My Definition” – talks of different definition as referred in different sources, and then puts her own. http://mydatewithbooks.blogspot.in/2015/01/Soulmate.html

Shruti Gopinath – questions “Do you believe in soulmates” – Talks about Greek mythology, refers to Paulo Coelho in Brida and then a sweet picture story depicting Soulmates.

And my take as poem http://facetsofadienglish.blogspot.in/2015/02/soulmate.html

So all the blogs had its own different view and it was a quite enriching read till now.

I too believe Soul-mate, may not necessarily be your life-mate. He or she can be anyone – Anyone whose mere presence or thought, gives you a sense of fulfilment. You are your true-self and with whom you express yourself even before thinking. Even the silence talks and heart speaks. So, its divine, linked to a sharing soul half seeded into the other half. The relationship is more beautiful and romantic if it is between opposite sexes in which it is most often referred and found.
