Meeting an old friend
A kindered spirit
Or a loved one …
The joy of uniting
After being afar
Speaks of interconnections…
Where time and space
Evaporates without a trace
In the moments together.
Its often said
Absence makes the heart
Grow fonder…
So is it the distance
That makes reunion sweeter?
Gibran wisely said…
Let there be spaces
In your togetherness
So whatever the relationship
With another or with the self , the very act of reconnecting with an old hobby, that you were once passionate about, makes it truly memorable.
For what is truly meaningful, is never lost … it’s simply awaiting a return.

PS: The word Retourvaille (often spelled Retrouvailles in French) is a beautiful, untranslatable French word that perfectly captures a specific, deeply felt human experience.
Literally translated, it means “rediscovery” or “the finding of something again.”

Yes Morag I felt likewise when I was writing it this afternoon… for I have been away for a long while from a few passions that I held dear, and the joy of reconnecting as I practice a few of them evoked this sentiment.
Thank you for your kind presence here.😊 🙏

Some reunions happen with people, others with forgotten parts of ourselves. Beautiful reflection🦋✨.

The sand & the sea is wisdom untold…
The imprints of patterns we create
May wash away without a trace
Yet the energy of the presence
Lives on etched in dimensions
Past present and future
