[Jitendra Hydonus]

i believe that maintaining a certain connection with old friends affirms faith in the continuity of life. We meet again later in life or in some other state or incarnation. But our meetings become very disjointed and hard to facilitate when we separate ourselves intentionally from others out of anger or misunderstandings. We may even notice the difficulty in distance and in circumstances when we first met the person in this life. This is no doubt in part due to the fact that we may have left them or they left us without a harmonious departure in the past. We can always show kindness towards those we have spent significant time with and if they do not show the same we can think of them and pray for them in kindness. i believe that after all is said and appears to b done we can be kind to one another. This element is often missing.  i believe we can still talk if both parties can remain kind and can do so with love. This is the test and the great spiritual challenge we face with others in our spiritual evolution.

Be kind to your past. It is part of your life. Be kind to your memories. Open up you heart and mind. If we have a difficult time looking at others it is also difficult to look at ourselves since we r facing aspects of ourselves in others. When we r able to see the inner beauty in others then we can also see it in ourselves.
