“Cause I know he’s out there somewhere just beyond my reach
Though I’ve never really touched him or ever heard him speak
Though we’ve never been together
We’ve never been apart
No we’ve never met, haven’t found him yet but I know him by heart.”
(A few nice lines from Vonda Shepard’s song I Know Him By Heart)
We all have kept this vision of our ideal partner – “The One” or the soul mate as all of us have referred to most of our lives. He or she may be the one we’ve been dreaming of since we were kids.
Some may have been lucky to have found their princes and princesses and have ended up with them. Some have been trying to find theirs for quite some time. Some may have drifted from one partner to another and a lot of others trying to find “The One”. Some have decided to grow and live with themselves.
I myself have thought that I have found him… but then I’ve realized it’s still a long way to go. I’ve still got a few homework to do for myself as I remember him said it. Well, I prefer to call it “soul work”.

“Am I living an illusion wanting something I can’t see
If I compromise I’d be living lies pretending love’s not meant to be
Cause I know my heart’s worth saving and I know that he’ll be waiting
So I’ll hold on and I’ll stay strong till then
Cause I know he’s out there somewhere just beyond my reach
Though I’ve never really touched him or ever heard him speak
Though we’ve never been together
We’ve never been apart
No we’ve never met, haven’t found him yet but I know him by heart.”
I’ve realized that as long as you know what you want in mind and in your heart, it’s already been given to you or it has been with you all along. So cheer up and don’t sulk in the corner, don’t even try to settle for second best or anything less than you truly deserve. Try to sing Vonda Shepard’s song I Know Him By Heart. You’ll realize that there is such a thing called divine absolute … that order and perfection do exist. It doesn’t single out anyone for it includes everyone and everything.
One may interpret this song as a love song -- one that tells that one would know when the person meant for him or her comes, he or she will know.
This song may also speak of finding “J” or God or Love (or however you want to address Him). I believe this song speaks a whole lot about trusting and “just being.” When you find your Love, you find yourself and when you find yourself and what’s within, you find “J” or God.
