I met yestarday my old friend from the chess club and it has happened so, that he is now a judge. Nothing happens by coincidence right? Well, my motivation was to help my brother who had some problems and questions regarding law. It is also true, that I was courious what he is doing nowadays, how his life unfolded ect. And he has a twin, which quite amazingly is also a judge but in some other city. It turned out that he became very religious man, his pathwas traditional catholic way. He said it helped him a lot and now he goes every day to church and his faith is alive. He had many points in common, however I could feel his gentle resistance towards my more eastern point of view. Maybe not even point of view but experience and path, I said that I meditate regulary, that God did change my life completely and this is deepening somehow. But, he saw differenciationbetween meditation and prayer, for me it is the same in a way. Than he was quite dogmatical that Truth can only be found in catholic religion, that is definitely dangerous point, but I can understand that this is his direct experience and he somehow holds on to this. If he is more peaceful and happier, that's fine. And somehow I felt that it is the case for him. But still I felt his gentle pressure and willingness to argue his rightness, I wasn't really interestred in this, close to the end of the meeting I was a bit tired from listening and trying to find some common ground, at times I felt him in the belly. But at other times I felt the presence of silence between us and that was wonderful. Sadly it turned out that he will not be able to help my brother, he helped only in so far as claryfying certain points, which were maybe not so clear before. I gave him hug at the end and we parted in sence of gratefulnes, togetherness. Whatever is someone's path it is better to seek common ground and unity that differences and arguments, after all Love can't be different and every heart can recognize Its presence.
be the Love
