Till There Gone

Sometimes people come into our lives for long periods of time, short spans of time, or for brief moments as we go about our day-to-day activities and interact with people in our immediate environments. After someone is no longer in our life, we may come to see how they have changed, or impacted our lives in some way as we continue our life’s journey. You never know the purpose that someone may serve in your life no matter how brief the encounter, as others have a way of sparking thoughts, which can lead to a change of lifestyle. Sometimes you may immediately know that the timing is in perfect alignment with what you're going through, and others the you meet or interact with during your times of stress, worry, frustration, confusion, pain, anxiety, or fear. However, on other occasions you may think the timing isn't right as someone is more of a nuisance or disruption to your life no matter how small the disruption may be. Although, you may later come to find that the disruption or nuisance was actually what you needed at the time in order to assist your growth and develop in ways that continue to unfold. In other instances, we don't miss people until they're gone, as we then come to see the impact and imprint that their departure has left within our life. For some the departure may be death, and for others it may be ending a relationship or friendship. On other occasions it may be the removal of familiar people in our immediate environment, employment, and various settings that we visit or participate in social activities. For instance, have you gone to the same restaurant as scheduled, sat in the same area, and was served by the same waiter whom you've grown comfortable with as you expect the waiter to be there on that day of the week, and at that specific time? You engage in small talk with the waiter and begin to know bits and pieces about their life, and you always end the meal with a smile, fully belly, and an extra tip. On the same day and at the same time you arrive at the restaurant and the waiter isn't there, you hope their okay and you may or may not inquire as to where they are on this occasion. Yet the next time you go to the restaurant at the same time and date, and the waiter isn't there you definitely inquire about their whereabouts as your curious and you find you looked forward to seeing them. Your informed by your new waiter that the old waiter no longer works there, and you may further probe as to why, or you may begin to think as to the many reasons as to why they no longer work at the restaurant. In any instance you may begin to replay conversations that you had with your former waiter, and you begin to think how you may never see the person again. You're going to the restaurant may no longer feel the same as you went on the same day of the week, and at the same time not only for the food, but you more so enjoyed the interactions that you had with the person who served as your waiter. For some they may no longer go to the restaurant, for others they may come at a different time or day of the week, or for others they may hope to encounter the person again as they had something that they wanted to say/give the person. Regardless, you miss the person because their gone. People come into our lives no matter the duration for many reasons and those reasons may not be known until they're gone.

Peace, Blessings, Love and Light
