Since Anna left for Ludhiana two weeks back, Dulcie comes to the place where Anna normally was seated on her chair and table. She sits next to the chair and keeps looking at me. Her look on such occasions is different in intent and content. She does it almost every time I come to the room.
I am surprised that in less than six weeks she developed that bonding that she conveys her 'grief of separation'! She would look for Anna even in other places!
All of us are inherently connected with each other. The language of nature is love, care and self giving!
In the recent weeks, there have been much tensions in some parts of India among students, on account of breakdown of this trust and love relationship between people!
A nine years old child who came for consultation, asked me, 'why is that there is more violence than love shown even in romantic movies?'
We reap what we sow!
As adults we need to question our approach to build relationships rather than think of everything as business, enterprises, or profit and gain opportunities! Humans are larger than utilitarian in composition and character!
Oh, that we would become humane and relational by choice as that is our calling to be!
