Soul thinks himself a cripple too.
His single greatest doubt, or perhaps it is a question. This is the one that scares Soul most and is also the question most grounded in Soul’s reality. Does he have the emotional capacity to maintain relationship?
This, the relationship thing, Soul desires above all things, yet he questions it’s reality or more accurately the ability with unrelenting doubt.
Soul’s relationships have all been so temporary. A string of persons interested in him for his good nature, his kind self; or interested in him because he may be trusting and naïve, perhaps a simpleton; or interested in his money; or because he can be a partner albeit temporary and he will not reveal that which has happened, in other words he will keep your secret. Even his marriage, so long, resulting in love’s blossoms, yet ending in failure, was so temporary.
Soul, you do not have emotion, you cannot relate to me, you will not relate to anyone Soul, you are a cripple Soul. Heard so often, heard too often.
In his life Soul has encountered only a handful of people he could feel. Special people, so full of life their aura of experience, their gift of feeling could overflow into him connecting Soul to soul. These people Soul loves most of all. They are so few, they are so wonderful.
A cripple is as deserving of the human experience as all men and women. Soul has emotion but it requires igniting. His ignition comes from the abundance of others, those gifted in sharing and flowing their self to self. He is not reliant upon those so gifted for life. Soul is satiated by the love and kindness of the life gifted overflowing.
So Soul has discovered...

Relationships are built on respect, trust and an understanding of expectations. Some are high maintenance, some are not. Relationships fail when the expectations of one partner is not met by the other, or, when one partner sets out to take advantage of the other. Communication is the key to all good, solid relationships. Shared information and questions need to be asked and answered in order to make sure expectations are being met by both partners. Neither partner ever takes the other for granted. Baby-steps and time are all that is required to build the relationship you so desire.
