I found this Asian green Bee eater alone in the marshy field perched on a dry stem. Another Bee eater arrived in the scene and was perched on the cable adjacent to it. It joined the other bird and was found to be together for a while till one of them flew away! I am not sure whether they would meet each other again during the day.
Yes finding and losing is the way of life!
This is what a child told me about this experience. He and his sister play Badminton and they loose the shuttle every now and then to the compound outside. Half of the time of the game they spend retrieving the shuttle from the bushes in the adjacent compound!
Finding and losing are therefore are common occurrences.
Most people tend to think of friendships as constant and stable, instead all friendships are dynamic and tentative.
It is honourable to respect and regard all friendships but not to get entangled or dependent to the extent that there is a frustrating sense of loss!
Hold on to friendships loosely and lightly! Rejoice as long as friendships are yielding and supportive; when they become demanding then friendships have reduced to be utilitarian.
Live loving others and offering care whenever possible. Avoid thinking of any one as unfriendly! Make finding friends a way of living! Some friends are more cordial than the others. In all of these, stay grateful- this is my discovery and longing !
