Reunions and Family

Recently, i had a reunion with my secondary school classmates. It was a nice gathering except for the fact that there were a few missing people. I was elated to see the familiar faces, our teachers and of course the familiar voices. All was well.

As the group got together, we made so much noise ,did the craziest and maybe the most lame things, but even so, we were a group. It was a reunion, no matter who did what we had placed no judgement nor disgust, because of the fact we were very good friends and we knew each other as we were. Weeks before, i was involved in a church performance with my friend, At Glad Tidings. Indeed if all of you follow my entries dating back from last year, i have my doubts about God. Im no atheist, i believe he is around but lets jus say im agnostic. Probably, God is no fan of mine or too busy to get to know me. ( but hey, no rush , i'll meet him someday)

As we sit there for maybe 2 hours or so watching all the performances, i saw reunion in them as well. I saw, family. In spite of differences, of people that felt inferior or afriad to try, the people pushed them on, they laughed together and they rejoiced together. Indeed, i was no believer of christ just as yet, but what i saw was family. While my friends and i stared at each other when different performances started because we were either too nervous or busy trying to critique the groups be it good ir bad, others sat there, leaving no judgement and clapping their effort at the end of its realm.

I saw that they were family, as such my friends at the reunion. We passed no judgement of anyone. They treated everyone as the same with no objection. Yet there was no difference between what we believed in or who we were. Whether we were christians or buddhist, free tinkers or muslims, we were friends. Through family, we were suddenly unified because we saw nothing wrong, or rather, we ignored the imperfections and looked at what was there.

Friends are such a co existing unification that happens regardless of anything in the world.I admit i did have my reservations on that but after my meeting with some old friends and the way of support at Glad tidings, i guess i have been reviewed on this perspective.
