    About this ebook

    At sixteen, Elaine and Brad are "the" couple until life forces them apart. Even though every indication is that they belong together, destiny appears to have a different plan. It has been over thirty years since Elaine has even thought about Brad, but today she receives a letter from him. Its an amazing occurrence and she begins to wonder what it could mean. Even her mother, a very spiritual person, felt that Brad and Elaine were destined to be together. They were, if anyone ever was, soul mates.

    But after separating and trying to stay close, life's path took them further apart until Elaine even began to feel that there was no such thing as eternal love. Her mother's reassurances seemed to fall on deaf ears and she resigned herself to live her life as best she could and keep searching for happiness.

    Now, out of nowhere, the letter arrives. After months of reading it, thinking, and agonizing, she decides she needs to act. It could be her one chance at spending eternity with her soul mate. Or will she find happiness in the existing relationship with her husband? Whatever choice she makes, today she decides to answer The Letter.

      EPILOGUE

      PREFACE

      From the time we are born we have an innate feeling that we belong to something or to someone. The idea of a soul mate or even eternal love is romantic, it is mysterious, and in many cases, it is reality. The metaphysician believes in the eternity of the soul. That soul, born prior to earthly life and lasting long after this life is over, feels, believes, thinks and can mature. Is it so far from reality then that the soul can also love?

      The Letter is a story of that simple eternal love. Through the relationship of Elaine and Brad one explores the idea of eternal soul mate love and the realization that the most difficult aspect of love is the ability to recognize it.

      To then be worthy of it and to make every sacrifice available to enjoy the sweetness and serenity of that God like gift to all of us is our destiny.

      It is my wish that you, dear reader, find and recognize your own eternal love. I hope you enjoy reading The Letter.

      DEDICATION

      This book is dedicated to the soul mate who

      continues to touch my life in every way.

      PROLOG

      There was a time our souls embraced

      your eyes and mine were one.

      our words, in concert, filled the sky

      and cooled the blistering sun.

      Our future written by the Gods

      was bright and full of hope,

      the love we shared brought majesty to every flame we stoked.

      Oh, how remiss the fates have been, to cause this great divide

      no longer are our souls entwined,

      no longer side by side.

      The path that took you far from me

      has left a trail of tears.

      The suffering of the soul, the anguished cry of fear.

      Eternal life, a dream of mine, shone brightly

      through the mist.

      But now, without your love,

      it is nothing but a wish.

      So hopeless is the reckoning of prior god’s consent

      that hope of love with you my dear

      is now completely spent.

      Alone I walk, the futures there, the life that I must face

      Oh, how I wish there’d come a time,

      our souls would re-embrace.

      FORWARD

      It is a typical Seattle morning with the rain drizzling lightly, the sky gray and Elaine is settling in for a very routine day. Little does she know that this day would be anything but ordinary? Today she receives the letter.

      Brad, who has travelled the world and back again, could never get Elaine out of his mind or heart. He knows she has been married and he also knows that almost thirty years ago he was hopelessly in love with her. So much has happened. Even his innate spiritual powers could not help him out of this one. He had to write the letter and see what would evolve.

      This idea of loving someone for so many years and having them come back to you is idealized romance. If it does happen then it happens at the most inopportune of times.

      Needless to say, people change so that person is going to be different. Well, unless the love they shared originally was spiritual in nature. You see, the spirit is forever and while it matures its’ essence does not change. It is in that knowledge that one finds comfort.

      Now Brad has written the letter and Elaine has received it. Can they find the secret for lasting eternal love? Or do they let this chance pass them by?
