She glanced at her companion.The more she waited, the longer it seemed
they had waited in eternity. Zarfina grew weary and made a remark to him about
the delayed elevator and glanced quickly at his face and saw that familiar look
which often reveal a keen moment which often precedes an expression of truth,
what perhaps, would pass for an everyday acceptance of things as they are,
often would reflect deeper meaning than it appears visibly.
Even though she appeared still, the noise of impatience was clearly
written all over her. Her companion was quiet and suddenly and quietly, comes a
reminder.>He says to her. '' If you want to learn patience ...You must be willing
to wait’.>Zarfina knew the destination of any journey is
important and even can be beautiful but it is all about the process for if
one can get pass the ''wanting in the waiting'', a lot can be gleaned,
mastered and understood during the process. For Zarfina, love constantly flows
like an eternal whispering and a knowing that everything is in
its rightful place in eternity "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12pt;"> They made it to the restaurant for lunch, and she realized she had
a few hours to catch a flight, embarking on the next
journey. she suggested they leave to some other restaurant cause
there was a bit of delay, the silence from her companion spoke Am I missing something here. . didn’t
we just have a discourse on patience?"
Finally, after what seemed like rest point in eternity, they
were served lunch, after the meal, she and her companion followed an inner
nudge to buy some random person a meal, she has learnt to go with the flow of
her intuitions or nudges, so off they went in a busy street in Manhattan
on Broadway, looking for someone who maybe in need of help this way.
">Within a short distance, an elderly man was sitting on a staircase in
front of building, he was dressed like someone who may have had his
share of challenging times. They extended
greetings and were polite in
asking, if he wanted the food .The old man stretched his arms to receive the
package, said thank you.
">The stranger at the doorstep began. " I
noticed you from the distance.. You both radiate a light much
different from the other people walking by It did not come as a surprise that you stopped
by and offered this meal, seeing you closer, the light from you is much
more intense.There was such a calm about this man. He
reached from under him and showed us his lunch pack
He paused and I could feel the flow of love
and gratitude from his being as he said again you are both beautiful but its the beauty of
felt humbled and grateful too
for his pearls of wisdom. Stranger than fiction but truth is never hidden if
the heart is open and willing to know more. She felt her heart dancing in
gratitude and embracing the beauty of the moment.
>In an instant, they both recognize the truth in an earlier discussion
which is reflecting on the happenings in the moment, ''when an ordinary man becomes a sage, he becomes a wise man, but when
the sage serves all of life with love , he becomes an ordinary man''.
> Zarfina made it on time to catch a flight on her next journey, as
she walked the staircase to step inside the plane, the Pilot smiled at her and
whispered nicely. Welcome! You are beautiful! But all she
heard was the old man sitting at the staircase saying to her ''look to your inner beauty...it is what
shines forth".
