Micro Tale #400: "VERY VERY SHORT STORIES" by Leon Enriquez

~~~~~~~~~

VVSS#7: JUST THAT
~~~~~~~~~
Glimpses of home. Fond feelings of joy. Glimpses of love. Sure feelings of content. Glimpses beyond words.
~~~~~~~~~
What more can you say? Not much more to add. Feelings are feelings. Silence speaks much louder than word choice. Better to go into the sacred space called stillness.
~~~~~~~~~
Home away from home is truly a strange place. Yes, a transit point between arrival and departure. A place between coming and going. A time for curious wonder to partake of the new and the strange. Somewhat like a feeling of in-between opportunities.
~~~~~~~~~
All these are mere steps leading to the sought-after scenario of a happy homecoming... When and if, that day arrives -- thus to bid farewell to the strange circumstances of encounters with change.
~~~~~~~~~
Change is the clear counterpoint to flux and fixture. Just that change makes home a profound experience of sheer happiness in familiar ambience and unforgettable longevity. Change makes coming home a perpetual delight.
~~~~~~~~~
The distant day of departure and the long sojourn in a strange faraway place makes for an ecstatic homecoming event horizon. Hope and faith yield the blessings of love. Home is truly where the heart and soul reside -- with the body-mind -- even in stillness and calm silence. Arrival on home grounds is the fifth season in life's awesome estate.
~~~~~~~~~

    I wrote this story with my son Michael in mind as he is spending his last three weeks in Canberra, Australia on the last part of his overseas studies. He should be back home by 12 December 2018. Just to boost his spirits.
