Meeting and Separating

「会うは離れの始め。」 This Japanese saying means "When the time we met, it's the beginning of our separation." I found it indicates even deeper meaning that 「天下無不散之宴席。」

Charlotte and her family left Hong Kong for Australia on 20 Apr. I did not do anything radical to show my love to and miss of her. Instead, I silently observe my feeling and pray for her peacefulness. Why? because I have faith in her life is well taken care by God so far and even the days to come.

I encountered many departures and separations in my life. The first one I could remember was moving from Sheung Sui to Kowloon when I was in Primary 3 (8 years old). It was a great turning point of my life. I remember my teacher asked me, "How do you feel now?" I said, "I'm very sad because I will lose all my friends here." Being a little girl, I really felt like that. However, the lonely feeling and the environmental change made me understand that life is more than a holding back memory. Instead, life is a creation process. I decided to make new friends and to enjoy whichever the new environment is in front of me. I became more tough than ever but open up to any new changes.

The compensation for all these was I lost my interest in the harsh city life and routine school study. I missed my childhood in nature until I moved to live in Vancouver and I pick up the eco-psychology study.

God created everything is important to us in his creation. Whichever is created by God is naturally substainable by themselves but material stuffs made by human beings will become garbage oneday and some may even damage the Earth.
