Ok, listen, I have been thinking about how we may understand what it is to be king and queen.
I had this mentor once, Lama Ole Nydahl. He was a VERY both spiritual as well as powerful king.
He had started a buddhist movement, that has chapters all over the world.
I experienced him once at a gathering, and he was a powerful leader. Strong yet mild and caring.
He called me Asgeir, the spear of the G-ds.
An old viking meaning of my name.
He had a queen, this beautiful, wonderful woman, that he had had for a long time. She was just a nice and strong person as well. He wrote a book about her, how he would come home after a long day, and he would lay his head on her lap. He really loved her.
One day, she disappeared, she just went away.
Ole, couldn’t handle it, so he fell apart. It was, for me, a very powerful story about the relationship you have with your love.
You have to be careful, tend it, water it, be attentive. It is a bit like a garden, you have to be careful about it. If you put in a lot of effort, it will grow and be lush and green and beautiful.
So that paradise that we are building together, will be made by a lot of gardening. In the sense, that we will tend the garden, make it bloom and blush.
If we do that, we can rest in that garden and find strength.
G-d bless the will to carry your beautiful love.
