Helen Keller understood the essence of a true heart connection when she said the following: “ the most beautiful things in the world can not be seen or even touched. They must be felt with the heart.”

These days it seems that Keler’s wisdom sometimes falls on deaf ears. Those who search for a soulmate in the age of modern love, tend to find that there are so many choices and so many ideas about what an ideal mate should look like, feel like and act like. Many buy into the illusion that their destined partner in crime should meet all their wants, needs, ideals, and expectations.

And if they don’t, then “that perfect person” that they believe they deserve and were meant to have, is only a “smart phone” swipe away.

Nothing feels more intoxicating than spending time with “the one” who seems to be sent from above. The synergistic connection that people experience when they are with their heart’s desire, feels beyond what words can describe.

It’s why there are so many songs, poems and stories written about soulmates, kindred spirits and twin flames. Yet, when you listen deeply to those songs and stories, there’s often a tragic note to some of them.  Shakespeare had it right when he said; “the course of true love never did run smooth”.
