Martin Decker – September 4, 2010
What if, when you were born, right next to your tiny baby footprint was also imprinted on your birth certificate the name of your soul mate…along with the date you were going to meet him?
If this were reality, I cannot imagine how much fun I would have with men! Right now, it’s mostly a lot of anxiety, doubt, confusion and every now and then, sex.
But let’s say, on my birth certificate, next to my little footprint was written:
Soulmate – Martin Decker, September 4, 2010
If I knew Martin Decker was waiting for me, I would date or not date whoever I wanted to. I would sleep with or not sleep with whoever I wanted to. I would be free to love whole heartedly because, why wouldn’t I? If I knew Martin was coming, I wouldn’t have to be so careful. I wouldn’t be worried about doing or saying the wrong thing EVER because unless the man I was dealing with was Martin Decker and it was September 4, 2010, what can go wrong? And even if it was Martin Decker and it was that fateful September day, I would still be totally free to be myself and love as much as I wanted to because I would know, he’s for me and I’m for him.
Imagine breaking up with people. “It’s been really fun but you’re not Martin Decker.” And the guy would respond “You know that’s true. And you’re not Amanda Jones, my soul mate.” And then I would say “OMG! I know her! I can totally introduce you! When are you supposed to meet her?” and he would say “Today!” and I would say “OMG! Let’s go to her house now!”
It would be a global effort of love, connection and unity! Everyone would help everyone else to get to the person they were supposed to be with!
Sooooo….what if this is actually happening right now? What if everyone I have dated, been heartbroken over, made out with or had a crush on, is actually placing me exactly where I need to be to meet Martin Decker? And maybe his name isn’t Martin Decker and maybe it won’t happen on September 4, 2010 but it will happen. Maybe they don’t put soul mates on birth certificates because part of finding one is learning to love whole heartedly and courageously so by the time that person is in front of you, be it at the bank line, the desk next to yours, or in a surf class, you are an expert!
And if you do know Martin Decker, can you tell him I will be at the Starbucks on Main Street on September 4th…all day long. Thanks!
It’s topics like these that make me sit and ponder – makes me ponder, “did I really think I knew what I was talking about?
