A True Love Relationship Is Like A Beautiful Garden That Needs Care and Attention To Thrive
After many years of painful conflict and healing process that was like a long hard and stormy winter, we are now creating a new life of peaceful harmony and ever expanding pure Love.

It has been a magical day here on Still Mountain, as we continue to move out to create a new chapter in our lives together.
We have shaken off the last vestiges of the long harsh winter and fully embracing the glorious days of Spring.
More importantly, after many years of tumultuous relationship that was marked with one intense storm after another, like the winter just past, Ani and I are now suddenly experiencing our own emotional Spring.
Our loving connection has always been there between us from the day we met, but we both had stressful lives, painful pasts and deep inner wounds that needed healing.
The moment I saw her for the first time, on our first “date”, I recognized her as my destined partner in life.
In the space of a minute, as we looked at each other, I knew that we were meant to be together…. that she was the “love of my life”, and my heart became fully dedicated to loving her.
We were in such attunement that we talked most of the night and naturally flowed into working together the next morning, as if we had been together for lifetimes.
We have been together on our journey of love in the midst of the challenges and lessons of life, ever since.
Our connection was and is so powerful that we share a deep bond, love and care for each other that has made it possible for us to go through many years of a deep healing process that was intensely painful and scary.

It was hard to bear all the dramatic fights that would suddenly break out with out warning when either of us got “triggered.”
When that happened, we would go from happy and close to being completely separated and yelling at each other and walking off in different directions within seconds.
No matter what happened between us as our old wounds often triggered emotional catharsis, sometimes separating us for days or months on end, we have always come back together, because this deep bond of love is our core truth.
We had a powerful, but explosive relationship with communication breakdowns and intense conflicts in which we both “lost It” in angry outbursts which seemed beyond our ability to curtail or control.
In fact, any one of our suddenly erupting volcanic “fights”, that were like a nuclear bomb going off between us, would have completely destroyed even the most committed ordinary relationship.
But for us, we understood that having conflict and even frequent terrible fights does not mean we are with the “wrong” person or that our relationship is bad…but that we are actively engaged in a long healing process being powered by our deep love.
Sharing real Love will always be bringing about healing through the power of Love itself.
We never gave up on “us” through all those long years of conflict…
Instead, those healing crises caused us to constantly work on our relationship everyday.

We know that a true love relationship is like a garden that needs constant care and attention to keep growing, be healthy and become and remain a beautiful peaceful sanctuary for all of life.
You have to water it, pull the weeds, dig out the poisonous plants, prune the roses and fertilize it with organic nutrients so it will thrive.
If you neglect it, don’t take care of it or give it what it needs, even the most beautiful garden will wither and die.
Now, after all these years of caring for the garden of our loving relationship, we are experiencing our own Spring of renewed love and growth between us.
We both knew when we suddenly crossed from our old life of conflict and struggle into this new life of peaceful, harmonious and loving alignment with each other and the divine a few weeks ago.
Our days of stress, strain and conflict are behind us now.
That is a huge and wonderful shift.
I have been praying for this shift for years, but I now understand that we had to do all that work in the garden of our relationship to heal and develop our ability to communicate first.
We both know we are done with our old ways of the past, and will now be living in this ever rising and improving state of loving alignment from now on.
Even though it seemed like winter would never end, Spring has come to our land and to our hearts.
Every new day is now better and more magical than the last as we are living each moment in the blossoming Spring of ever greater Love.
