The Search For Enlightenment

After a month of staying at home and holding the fort, my Better Half is, this very minute, in the air on her way home to join me.

Whilst it has been a difficult time for me, not knowing quite what was happening so very far away, it has been nothing compared to the painful process she has been through.

Seeing your own mother fade quickly away has been a terrible set of events to go through, though she has been very strong and resolute. I’m sure she would like me to pass on her thanks to everyone who has sent their kind wishes and, eventually, their condolences.

I am looking forward to seeing her tomorrow, though the pleasure is slightly tempered by the thought that she will be in a difficult emotional place.

I will be making the trip up to Heathrow in anticipation, having made sure that everything at home is as perfect as humanly possible. I am looking forward to finally being in a position to give her my support and comfort, time will tell how things go.

I have been, and will continue, to chant for the Wisdom, Courage and Compassion to make the process as easy for us both as it can possibly be.

Nam Myoho Renge Kyo.
