Soulmates

"It is as if millions of years before the silence of nature broke, your lover's clay and your clay lay side by side.  Then in the turning of the seasons, your one clay divided and separated.   You began to rise as distinct clay forms, each housing a different individuality and destiny.   While your clay selves wandered for thousands of years through the universe, your longing for each other never faded.   This metaphor helps to explain how in the moment of friendship two souls suddenly recognize each other.   There is an awakening between you, as sense of ancient knowing.   You come home to each other at last."   John O' Donahue
