My dear
Here’s one more from the terry-collection for you.
Caring matters….
All of us need a lot of that so it is good that we take time out reaching out and connecting and caring.
There isn’t much difference between us really. Age and size and the amount of hair one has on one’s head does not make for differences that matter. When one cares, there is no generation or otherwise gap. An affectionate hug bridges it all. And one does not have to come down or go up to the other’s level to connect.
All one has to do is come across… and the magic of connecting wonderfully takes place.
I am fortunate to experience that in all my relationships… with babies and children, with young people, with adults and people my age, and even with those who might be on the borderline heritage category. Now and then I goof up because of what I might inadvertently say or do but caring again brings things back to normal. The only person I was not on speaking terms with for as long as a month was a boy (his name was Christopher) in the boarding house in Bangalore who had some disagreement with me and banged the lid of a desk on my head. But one crazy day, a month later, all the boarders went around coaxing everyone to make up with those they were not talking to.
I still remember how happy I felt for being able to be comfortable and talk with Christopher again.
I guess it is that way with all of us. If we connect and care, then living becomes pleasant and enjoyable both for ourselves as well as for the ones we sort out things with.
If you try it, you will know.
The last lap of my summertime rush of testing and counselling is at its fag end. College reopens tomorrow. It will be wonderful to have them all around again. YYYAAAYYY!
That’s it for now…. hope all is well and even more wonderful for you as your own caring times continue!
Stay well. Lots of love and caring,
Terry
