It has been 24 days. Twenty four lonely days without our beloved Ruby. As we are slowly adapting to our new routine, the pain still remains the same. The bruises fade but we have lost an arm. Only all the loving memories will keep us alive. Reiki Sanctuary has become quiet because it has to be. This quietness is part of a bigger meaning, part of the mind and the access of perfection to a new life chapter.
Change comes naturally. And in such a catastrophic change, it is inevitable for the possibility of change inherent in our emotional, and perhaps, spiritual growth and development. We are reaching out to peace. More importantly, we are trying to embrace and assimilate quality of life. For higher meaning. Of the intangibles, only for the purity of the souls. For deeper joy to house graciousness towards love. Sincerity. Honesty.
We are keeping what is important to us. To live for, and by, it. To become similar to a new environment. To take only the best and throw the rest. Beyond that, we are seeking for a deeper shared sense of caring and concern. A desire to grow and develop. To accomplish spontaneous overflow of hope and tranquility.
One fleeting brilliance of light during our grief comes from the realization for true friendship. A reflection inward of our attitude and behaviour. Of how we are reaching out to them. Reality is, we have friends - people whom we know and probably, just close acquaintances, and a lot gets talked about friendship. The quantity of them that can fill all hours of the days.
The last 24 days put us to shame. Of what we have always taken friendship so lightly. True friendship involves relationship. And, we learn it alot from Ann and Pat. Through all their givings. In all their actions. Gripped with their convictions to make sure we continue on with our journey with peace. And acceptance. They make no excuses of having work or appointments, or anything, but will be with us. Investing their time for our growth. Sharing our lives, thoughts, feelings and frustrations.
They 'force' their presence in our hours of sorrow. And 'force' has become such a positive action. Acting and doing something and expecting nothing in return. Allowing us to talk and just to listen. Allowing us to be irrational yet radiates empathy. Building companionship and common bond of some kind. Their calls and visits, at odd hours, and organizing activities [just for us] make us felt blessed. To them, they just want the best for us. It is in their true friendship that encourages us and make us to forgive one another where there has been an offense. With them, unconditional love develops.
So today, we just want to say thank you to them. The ones who have stuck by us through thick and thin. You have shown us the real reason of true friendship and we just hope we are able to show it to others.
In poverty and other misfortunes of life,
true friends are a sure refuge.
The young they keep out of mischief;
to the old they are a comfort
and aid in their weakness,
and those in the prime of life,
they incite to noble deeds.
- Aristotle

"When there is love, nothing is too much trouble. There is always time."
.. and so, we are praying we are not too late to realize.
