Melancholy Well Wishing...
I really, honestly appreciate this meditation. I always choose my best friend, that I wish happiness for, and for their wellbeing. I haven’t seen my best friend for about a year now. He hasn’t been in a great living situation, from what he had told me. I haven’t heard from my best friend since the beginning of this year, and when I did, he wasn’t doing so well. So, I’m not quite sure if he’s doing well now, or even okay. So, when I repeat the words said in this meditation, “may you be well,” “may you be happy,” it’s truly coming from my heart, and I somehow hope that he hears it, because I just know that it’s what he needs. Since I haven’t seen him for over a year, I start to tear up when I say the same words, not only to him, but when saying them for the both of us.
This is why I feel melancholy afterwards. But, it puts a smile on my face, because envisioning my friend, and saying those chosen words to him, gives me hope that he’s okay, and that he will get my message.
