2. What my hopes and wishes are

list your hopes and wishes in a clear manner

Re: 2. What my hopes and wishes are

1. I hope to walk my\our path with my love
2. I wish for us to become utterly present and without obstructions for the benefit of all beings
3. I hope I will bring my husband, family and all beings joy
4. I hope we will birth many wonderous projects and other things which will benefit others
5. I hope I will have opportunity for precious time to be with my loved ones, children and family across the ocean
6. I wish we have the opportunity to attend teachings and retreats - I'd love this to include going to India and if possible Tibet, at a time His Holiness the Dalai Lama is able to return

Re: 2. What my hopes and wishes are

I guess all I would like at this point is a cuddle partner with whom I can cuddle with, hug, caress and massage on a weekly or daily basis. :)

Re: 2. What my hopes and wishes are

Kundan, cuddles, hugs and caresses are soo comforting, aren't they. Touch is so important for many human beings. I read somewhere that babies who are not exposed to touch and cuddles, don't flourish as much as those who are and apparently senility is less likely in the elderly when they are exposed to loving touch.

Re: 2. What my hopes and wishes are

My beloved is spiritual, but not religious.
He is compassionate and non-judgmental.
He enjoys touching and being touched - both within and outside of sexual
practice. He enjoys giving and receiving massage. 
He is open to spiritual exploration and the exploration and practice of
sacred sexuality.
He is fluid - able to lead and be led, able to teach and willing to be
taught.
He is open, willing and able to communicate and yet able to enjoy stillness
and silence at times.
He is willing and able to hold a safe space for my healing practice, and to
allow me to do the same for him, if needed.
He is open to real intimacy - connecting with me on every level of my being.

He is willing to honor my need for solitude and personal space, as I honor
his.
We joyfully explore and continually discover new ways to express love,
adoration, romance, and desire for one another.
We practice being fully present in each moment, moving slowly and
attentively and savoring the joy and pleasure and love that fills each moment.
We cultivate love, but we don't try to force it. The continuation of our
relationship is driven by the pleasure and enjoyment and love we share. We both
recognize that we are together because we both will it so, and we recognize one
another's freedom.
We practice letting go of expectations, and so everything we receive from
one another is recognized as a gift, and we express our appreciation for the
gifts we receive from one another.
We share boundless laughter, fun, pleasure, joy, ecstasy and everything that
brings quality and meaning to our lives.

beautiful hopes and wishes

Re: 2. What my hopes and wishes are

i was reluctant at first to post here because i wanted to stay open to possibilities, and i still do.

but i realised today afresh that i do have deep longings for someone who:

- has a keen intellect while being very compassionate and loving to all
- is actively creative whether in visual arts, music, written arts and/or other
- is of a contemplative bent
- has a wacky sense of humour

For me, this is an irresistible combination. I have been blessed to know and care deeply for more than one person like this. I miss them very much today, especially one of them.

Love,

Nicole

Re: 2. What my hopes and wishes are

I guess we know what traits feel important to us and also we so love the surprises the universe springs on us - I can understand your mixed feelings of not wanting to commit your wishes whilst at the same time feeling certain

Re: 2. What my hopes and wishes are

thanks, i know you really do understand! hugs!

Re: 2. What my hopes and wishes are

At my age I feel gratitude more than anything .At an age when many are lonely and alone, I am grateful for my partner, for the beautiful countryside where I live, my productive garden, for friends and family, I only have my pension, but there is nothing that feels lacking. I suppose one wish is to remain healthy so I can continue caring for Mum, my hope is that she passes on at home rather than alone in a care home, and then that good health continues so my partner and I can enjoy more time to do things together. I agree with Nicole about staying open to possibilities,
and living too much in the future detracts from now.

Re: 2. What my hopes and wishes are

There is great wisdom in your gratitude Zephyr!

Re: 2. What my hopes and wishes are

I just realized just now that I want someone who is as committed to living from True Reality as I am. Someone who has every intention of staying totally present at every moment., to be truly seen and to truly see.

Re: 2. What my hopes and wishes are

Kundan you see through beauty filled eyes

Re: 2. What my hopes and wishes are

I hope to be awakened by everything. I hope to put my relationship in its proper place in that context. I hope to open to that opening…as I find myself contracting around fears, I want to go deeply into the fear and see it for what it is. I hope to befriend my fears and contractions and stories in order that I might put that all in its place and be freed.
