During this morning’s meditation, I had a vision of my early 20s. In those 4 years, I was in a serious relationship. The boyfriend was 3 years older than I. Very smart and trustworthy man. Both of my parents liked him a lot, and everybody expected us to marry.
He proposed me for a marriage twice. The first one was right before I graduated from the university, and the second one was right before I graduated from the graduate school. Both of them were bad timing for me to decide a marriage. I wanted to focus on my own future possibilities rather than marriage at that time, so I turned down his proposal. He didn’t try the third one, and we decided to go to the separate ways in life.
Although he was not my marriage partner, he played a great role in my life. He is definitely one of my limited number of persons that I will go and greet (good-bye and thank you) in spirit right after I depart from my physical body, before I go back to my spiritual homeland.
While I was dating with him, I was pretty ignorant. I didn’t know much about everything. He taught me a lot. Starting from daily entertainments such as Pachinko, Mahjong, Horse-racing, Japanese chess, Nintendo, video games, and Moupai (盲牌, the technique to read Mahjong tile by ball of a finger), skiing, and how to attach chains on car tires. He taught me a variety of music genre such as classic, jazz, and R&B. He took me to many different types of music concerts. He introduced me lots of fun things.
Not only fun things but he also gave me a variety of knowledge of morals, histories, and studies. He shared all his techniques and knowledge with me.
Now I think I am doing the same thing to my husband. I am giving and sharing all my techniques and knowledge with him. I feel I am passing a baton.
During our life, we encounter somebody who introduces lots of valuable teachings to us. Then, when the time has come, it is now our turn to pass the baton to somebody whom you care for. That is how the life goes; passing a baton to somebody.
