Blowing Kisses

Yesterday I accompanied my mother to the hospital to have a mole on her temple removed. I have to say hospitals are not my favourite places to hang out. I am also aware that it's not the physical location that matters but the state of my mental location/consciousness that counts. Put another way, as long as I remember that Love is all there is, then I know everything is always working out for the best no matter where I am.

I noticed the hospital had changed a lot since I was last there two years ago when my mother was in that same hospital. There were now some major building works going on. On our way to the department, I noticed a fish tank on the corridor and stopped to admire the beautiful tropical fishes. One fish got curious and came close to the glass. I blew it a kiss. Other fishes were drawn to the glass and I admired them. It was as if they were blowing me kisses in return.

At the department, there was a notice saying the receptionist was out at lunch. While we waited my mother told me because of the building works going on, a lot of the paths outside are blocked. There's a walkway on the lower ground floor that can take people from this building to the next. When the receptionist arrived, she advised all the patients waiting that they needed to get to another building. So we ended up traipsing down the walkway my mother had described earlier to exit that building. A woman walking by asked us which building we wanted and pointed the way.

I accompanied my mother to see the consultant. He examined the mole and asked two student doctors to do the same. They discussed what it was using medical jargons. It felt like I was in some TV hospital drama. Then the consultant explained the procedure to my mother. He said he was going to do the best he can but if he had difficulties, he might have to call in a plastic surgeon. He then got my mother to sign a document. In thought I thanked Infinite Love for working through the many instruments.

While my mother was away, I watched some TV and even dozed off. I had every faith that Love was working things out perfectly.

After the procedure I was called in. The doctor told me my mother had been very calm throughout. Although they had used spray plaster on the wound, it started bleeding. A nurse popped in and cleaned it. When the wound continued to bleed, I thought it would be a good idea to have a traditional dressing on it. The nurse must have read my thoughts as she decided to put a dressing on the wound. She said she didn't want my mother to go out looking like she'd just been in a fight. The nurse's comment made us chuckle.

While we were waiting for the nurse to discharge my mother, a man and woman joined us. The nurse asked the man to change behind a curtain into a hospital gown. He and his wife seemed quite stressed and were snapping at each another. She said they'd been in the hospital practically all day. Apparently, he was having a camera fitted inside him to help doctors figure out what was wrong with him. When the man's eyes met mine, I blew him a kiss. He blew me a kiss back and smiled. I knew he was going to be alright.

I believe no matter what the situation or appearances, Love is all there is and working through the many instruments.

All my love and gratitude to the many health workers. I'm blowing kisses to you all.
