Maybe it isn't Goodbye !
My father once said , you will know who you can trust from their eyes , even with animals he was a believer in the eyes , "they tell you everything" he would say , they show the mood of an animal and their temperament.
Recently Eve ,our mother left us, and went to join him beyond the horizon, her wisdom swirled around her like an invisible energy affecting those she knew.
Her eyes said it all, she saw through it all and commented and laughed as she gently guided and nudged us along the way.
Like a group of elephants that have lost their matriarch there are some new matriarchs now in our herd, they are strong women, cut of the same cloth, powerful intelligent , wise and above all committed .They are the core of our group and will guide and cajole all around them in the right direction, they have been incredible in their strength over the years
Through the haze of life I can see the generations fly by, time is an enigma, just a fantasy, everything is now in this minute
If we are honest with ourselves, we are seldom here and the greed and agendas of this world capture us and take us prisoner from the present so that before we know it we have lost direction, only becoming aware of this in many cases too late .
Some time ago some of us who could, gathered to say good bye to Eve, and as the sun was setting low over an incredibly beautiful place, we read stories about what she did and spoke of our memories of her, who she represented to us and perhaps without saying it we were saying goodbye in one sense and yet in another
She lives on within us, her habits and gestures show through in the next generation, her wisdom picked up and her legacy a goal to aim a.
Like that Herd of Elephants I spoke about at the gathering , the knowledge and wisdom has been passed to the next generations, an instinct of maps to follow these bonds flow deeply, way beyond the perception of this life which is merely part of the journey.
All there is here and now, seize the day! revel and take in the aromas and the sensations of life, feel the heat and the breeze as it touches your soul and above all enjoy the moment.
Will.
