I have noticed that if I have liesurely deep talks with someone -- "seshes" -- once a week for a year, their lives transform. Or, rather, in an atmosphere of being profoundly heard and accepted, they transform themselves. There's a chicken-and-egg timing; it's only when you want your life to transform, that you seek out that kind of listener.
Anyway. The other thing I've noticed is that these people often go straight into amazingly good long-term relationships or marriages. My theory is, they've gotten used to saying the truth, seeking the truth, living with the Mystery, and being accepted -- that now they only look for that, along with all the other stuff they want as well; which is a good recipe for a relationship.
It occurred to me that the reason this hadn't happened to me, was that I had not yet listened to MYSELF with the complete attention I give others.
April 13, 2005, I vowed to spend a year listening to myself.
Huge stuff started happening immediately.

Good for you!! I hope that you do find what you're looking for. Take to the seas, or the skies, or the theatre, or even the computer. Do something you now need to do, even if you never even knew of it before. Be adventurous, or maybe stop being adventurous, live like you need to live, and all will be well.
