As I passed by the "temporary resting place" of my grandparents, there was a sudden pang of separation that aroused, in me, .... A longing. A childish hope. A hope that if I reach my hand out for them, I will find them clasping it in theirs and slowly embracing me and holding me with so full of affection and joy that they will never let me go....
I know that they are there. Just 20 feet away. I know it! I need to cover a mere 20 feet and I will be there! Near them! Close to them!
Alas! A childish hope it is!
Helplessness creeps in as it dawns on me that I have to travel through infinity after those 20 feet to reach to them! A devastating feeling!
In the next instant, I realize that there will come a day when I too will rest along with them. But, by creating a gap of infinity between the world and me!
The only thing that joins both the dimensions is Infinity.
Separated and Joined by Infinity!
So close yet so far....
So far yet so close...
