Life Journey
You know why we love looking at old family photos ? Not necessarily to see how we looked and how we have changed in appearance but how bonded we looked and were then. When closeness and love shines through photos , we want to relive those moments, days, years.. and so on.
As adults, life changes. Each one’s journey
becomes different and as the modern day world is, family members are scattered
through the world. Times are very different. Only zoom shots can be shared and
saved. The warmth of physical presence, that hug, that tangible energy of love
felt in being in the same room is rare.
In any case, after a certain age, photos
acquire a very huge emotional importance in the lives of senior citizens. Those
are memories to hold onto in their lonely moments. A reason to smile, however
wistfully, at the faces looking out from the photo frames, faces that are not
within reach , to hold , to caress… children, grand children…. Miles away , for
whom we dare not pine for rationally, for isn’t it time to gradually wind up ?
There will come a time for us too, to bid
farewell to our loved ones and travel into an unknown space and into the
unknown future of our soul whose journey continues … into unchartered waters !

Perspective
Unless we resonate with each other, I am comfortable within my own space and also in leaving you to your own space.
There is much merit in this thought
process. First of all, respecting the space of each other ensures an enduring
association between people. Not distancing due to some mistaken perspectives
but consciously proving the same space to others that you would like for
yourself. Simple enough on the face of it and until you keep it simple and not
encroach on personal space.
This desire to be close to people also
spells entering someone else’s energy . And sometimes, that person may not have
firm boundaries in place and may end up more vulnerable and easily affected
.
Energy poaching is as harmful as poaching.
Sometimes, Even more. So, this learning is a huge learning and is slated to
bring in more awareness.
