Task: Create Life Changing Relationships
You shouldn't be too surprised, lad.
I told you once that if you loved
someone enough, anything is possible.

Life Changing & Affirming Relationships
Unless you live on a desert island (and even if you do, there is always the trusted but laconic Wilson), love is about being with and sharing your life other sentient beings. Simply put, love requires an other -- even Narcissus knew that he required a reflection to talk to, commune with and adore.
So if an essential ingredient for love is being in a relationship (real or imagined) ... then creating and experiencing love speaks to a relationship with another that is extraordinary.
No man is an island ...
{no Word yet if this is true about a woman in Lord of The Rings or applies 2 the SolMoon Islands}
Beyond the pale blue sky relationships speak to a relationship* with a special other -- an extraordinary friend, kindred spirit, great love, soul mate, or beloved.
What unites all of them is that the relationship is life changing ... for both of you. But that change in life is also a natural evolution ... so no one is changed ... they just evolve.
What can make them heady and unstable is how fast you evolve, how open you are to change and growth, and how much your Other is as well. Sometimes the partnering is right, but the timing is wrong. Sometimes it is the other way around .. right timing, but someone else is a priority in your life ... and the camel nose can't sneak under the tent.
And that is where relationships across time and space come in handy ... with The Heirophant building the bridge between you.
Timeless Relationships
You can find kindred spirits in the works of ancient sages and find a connection with masters that created works of art centuries past. The words of poets and storytellers float down to us across the ages ... and land land* like snowflakes on our nose and eyelashes.
Nietzsche and Socrates can still push your buttons, Musashi can stir a soul with two swords, and Homer can make Odysseus come alive once more. Kindred sprits, soul mates and others do not have to have two feet on the ground. It just takes a bit more effort to reach out and let their words and work soak in, deep down into your bones.
But it can be done.
