Just a thought....

Trying to build old relationship, can sometimes be more tricky than you initially thought it may be.
spent a lovely day with a close friend whom I have not had contact with for about a year and we felt like no time had passed at all when we had lunch and talked like we had just seen each other the day before...so then why is it that we are not able to feel that way about other relationships as well? The simple truth is that when you feel like no time has passed since you last spent time with someone then clearly that is a true friendship.
We all have our obsticles in life but i think that those obsticles may be compared to that of a long lost friend, they always there but never truely there, but some how when we meet up with it , that instant emotion and feeling you get when faced with it determines whether things are going to be okay or whether they are simply going to get more complicated.
That one moment has the ablilty to help us make a choice of whether we wanna remain in a fruitless situation that has the possibility of remaining baren no matter how hard you try to assist in its positive development, or it simply gives us the answer to questions we were simply to scared to ask directly. So in some ways such encounters could be the worst thing ever or it could be the best thing that has ever happened to you or possibly could ever happen to you!!
Shakespear has said it the best, "It is better to have loved and lost , than to have never loved at all...", I think that that statement does not simply only reffer to the concept of love in itself, but rather it has a universal meaning attached to it too, meaning that it can be seen as refering to many aspects of our lives, all the good thing as well as the bad and that everything we ever encountered and failed to see the truth in has a way of presenting that one encounter to us in one way or another. I have simply decided to let things come to me rather than letting myself run after than seeking answers that just dont wanna be revealed when I want them to be revealed. Many times I have been face with difficult encounters and in some way or another they have never worked out to be in my favour, searching irrespective of its negative outcomes I remained persistant and wanted to know what and why things have worked themselves out in the manner that it has worked out, but allas I have found a way to make peace with what has been presented; rather than poking at the issue longer than what it has been needed to be poked at, I have found my peace in just letting them be the way they are presented and not seeking a means through which to alter the outcomes or even just weep about it making myself miserable and fragile. I never really understood what was ment by the meaning that Life is a journey, but now I have been able to understand and embrace its deeper meaning, that being...that there is a broader picture and that like a tree finds its place and has its function in the world, so do the many things we find ourselves in, they all have their purpose and reasons for playing out the way that they have, because if they had not done so we would never really be on a journey... instead we would  simply just  EXIST , rather than Living and what would then be the fun in that?

So my friends I know that you may have heared this many times but just sit back and deal with things as they come along, because in the end the ride we on is actually a thrilling one and will be remembered even when we ourselves fail to remember it.

Love  & Peace
