The Dialogue (3)

 

 

   I am not so sure that old people have more wisdom than young ones do in general. But one thing for sure is that they occasionally show me something to be reconsidered in pinpointing a point.

   I was told that the plants have their own way to communicate with others and to move a little, avoiding any potential harms if they recognize any habitual bothering activities. And then, she gave me a long lesson that explain about the core of reincarnation stuffs. I was smiling at for a while, because that reminded me of the speech that I had made in the school year. The subject was Buddhism and I emphasized on the matter of reincarnation in sort of business class. I didn't do very well and was blamed to pick the improper subject. However, I was very curious and under a strong influence of that in those days. At any rate, she was looking at me to confirm whether I did listen to her or not. I made myself clear to reveal the story that those things were my area of concerns long time ago. And I told her the rest of the story in details. She ended up with the comment that I gave you coffee seeds for the purpose of observing how they grow very carefully.

   They were wonderous things and still are, especially when they sprouted up for the first time. That was my last words to her.
