As I waited at the arrival gate I began watching all the foreigners arrive. I studied their mannerisms and body language, and watched their interaction with friends, relatives, and loved ones who were there to greet them.
Some of these arriving travelers were merely coming home after a long journey abroad, while others were being reunited with people they have not seen for many years. The energy of love was buzzing around the airport terminal at a very intense vibrational level. There were moments of joy, moments of tears, moments of laughter, and even moments of uncontrollable excitement. To watch the exchange of love between people who are being reconnected to each other after a long separation is nothing short of phenomenal. It goes so deep that it is almost unexplainable through words alone.
There was one older woman from India who was greeted by her son and daughter-in-law. She was in a wheelchair being pushed through the heavily crowded area by an airline attendant. When she finally emerged through the crowd and made eye contact with her son, she was so overcome with emotion, that her face scrunched up and crinkled like she was being tortured, as the tears began flooding down her face like a river running wild. She was so filled with joy and love for her child after having no physical contact with him for almost 10 years, that it was almost unbearable. Her emotions could not be contained. It was bigger than life.
