New Age Spirituality – Morning Has Been All Night Coming ( Part 45 ) By John Harricharan At Isnare.com Ezine Articles

Wednesday, which had seemed such a long way off, finally arrived. The prospect of seeing Marla again was almost unbearably exciting, but deep within me I could still sense a calmness unknown in more ordinary times. I hadn’t seen her in years, but the feeling that she knew something about my wife grew stronger instead of diminishing. Experience foretold that there would be much to learn from dinner this evening. Making the necessary baby-sitting arrangements, I was all dressed and ready before 7:00.

Gideon was hardly,if ever,late. True to form, at exactly the appointed hour, a long, sleek car pulled into my driveway. A few moments later the doorbell rang and I opened the door to greet Gideon’s enigmatic grin. Standing next to him was a picture of great delight and beauty. Marla reached out, shook my hand and gave me a big hug. She seemed not to have aged a day and, if anything, appeared younger and more vivacious than ever.

“Come in please,” I said. “Marla, it’s so good to see you. I’ve missed you. Gideon,here,seemed intent on keeping you away from me these many years. Please come in.” “I’ve been looking forward to our meeting again, John,” she proclaimed with a lovely smile.

“We won’t come in now; the car is waiting,” interjected Gideon. “Let’s go, we have a beautiful evening planned.”

I went back into the house, kissed the children good- bye and then proceeded out the front door. Gideon, Marla and I walked to the car as a well-dressed chauffeur stepped out and held the door for us.

“What’s this with the limo and driver, Gideon?” I asked. “I thought you believed in living simply.”

“Living simply is one thing. Living in a miserly manner is another. We should always use the tools at our disposal. So long as a balance is maintained, we can enjoy the gifts we have. Love people and use things instead of using people and loving things. Divine non-attachment, John.”
