Ceasar and Suzanne

CEASAR AND SUZANNE
Today I found myself remembering very specific details of a relationship healing that I experienced many, many years ago.

I had a boyfriend, Ceasar, who I was crazy about and who was crazy about me too. We broke up however over a number of serious disagreements. I was handling the breakup okay until he met up with my best friend, Suzanne.

My emotions went out of control … I thought I’d die … I couldn’t make sense out of anything … Breathing was difficult … How could he …? How could she …? But we had broken up … That didn’t matter … ! I hated my life …!

FINALLY, I turned to God in desperation. I only remember that the entire situation just faded away and I was free. There were no lingering bad feelings toward either one of them.

A week or two later I happened to go to the same club where I had met them and who should come running up to me before I went in but Suzanne. She wanted me not to go in but go anywhere else with her. Finally she confessed that Ceasar had broken up with her and she wanted to rekindle our friendship.

Long story short, I went my way – inside – and who do you suppose was waiting for me inside but Ceasar? He wanted to get back together with me! Which I didn’t!

It was my first complete, miraculous healing of what had felt at the time like a double disaster with tidal waves of emotions gone haywire. I wound up feeling so happy and loved – way beyond what human attachment could accord.

Then it occurred to me that not everyone concerned had been blessed: Ceasar and Suzanne hated each other! No way was I going to hoard my healing (even if it did feel like sweet revenge). I remember spiritually “seeing” all that love and joy that I was feeling in a much fuller way – to include them as well and after some time they also became friends again.
