You made my day - she heard her friend's words wrapped in the sincere laugh that brought them a good moment between all the haste of life that has been pressing on them lately. What are true friends for but to sometimes help us open the blinds and let the light shine through?
She felt the same delight when spotted that little friend after so much time. Delight is a weak word actually... it was a real euphoria that she experienced but mixed with a deep shock and inability to say more than a loud heeeeeeey, you are back!! that everyone in the hall heard.
And saw.
Her eyes were wide open, with a smile from ear to ear standing in front of Dreaming Buddha. Yes, he appeared, believe me or not. Last Sunday.
His sudden appearance brought back harmony to that place. Peace and kindness were spread to everyone who passed by him, especially to one elderly couple who spent a weekend there and woke up with the sunrise over the blue horizon. If you think love can fade over the years you are wrong. Every little detail counts in nurturing that divine feeling that moves the world, but the presence of the petit statue reinforced the emotions even more.
In one moment, while having their delicious breakfast, the husband walked to the pianist who was playing there. He made several compliments and revealed a secret that his wife had her birthday just a few days ago. They were also remembering the night they met for the first time, fifty years ago. A song was important in that moment of falling in love... Strangers In The Night, made famous by Frank Sinatra.
After just a few minutes everyone listened to the song in the piano version, and who knows, maybe some new loves were born too because of Dreaming Buddha and the music. We will leave that to the imagination of each of us.
However, there is an important fact that should not be missed! Take note, these are not just speculations: our protagonist walked yesterday the same path, expecting to see the same little friend who spreads tenderness and harmony. The feeling that smacked her was as strong as an iron locomotive that was coming toward her at full speed. Seconds became too long... the information that the eyes sent to her mind had to be processed and accepted despite all the disbelief:
As a decent professional in her field, she regained her composure and focused on the investigation.
After all, as IQINA's permanent associate of the research department, her job consisted of keeping track of these constant appearances and disappearances of Dreaming Buddha.
If you ask yourself what is IQINA, then open the:
! [answer] IQINA states for Independent Q Inspired News Agency 😁
It didn't take her a long time to discover the first clue that connected our little statue friend with very powerful and serious circumstances.
This is much more serious than all the stories we brought here during the last months. We thought he went away with a lady to help her or that he accidentally broke, and then he was seen in a different hotel in a different city. Well, he changed a bit his look there, like a chameleon, but he could easily do it.
Just a few days ago, again in a slightly transformed shape, he was captured in one garden. A kitty was there keeping him company as that peace he radiates can be felt by animals too.
I don't know what to think anymore - it seems that he is playing hide and seek with us. There is a saying in Spanish that goes something like "aparece y desaparece como El Guadiana" (appears and disappears like El Guadiana). It is a Spanish river that in some sections flows under the ground but it re-emerges again later on. That is why it is used also for people who disappear without any previous explanation.
What I do know is that this lady who collaborates with IQINA will continue her investigations and bring the news - if she finds out what really happened and if he is involved in the same drama with the missing president.
Until then we should not worry... maybe just stay a bit confused with the case of Dreaming Buddha.
