Friends consider spirituality

Blake and Laura had found the good life and deeper love. No matter where they went on earth, this would remain with them, whether on this planet or any other place in creation.

Meanwhile, at his house, Rene sat outside on a garden bench, looking at the fish swimming in the garden pond. He wondered if they were carefree.

“Are they disturbed by anything? Do they feel confident about where their next meal is coming from?”

He wondered whether they were perhaps missing a loved one.

“Do they reach out to help one another?”

Rene felt so alone now that Laura and her family were sorted out.

He felt robbed of purpose.

The launch of the band’s new music album was on its way, but that did not consume his every thought. Not in the way that such events had in the past.

Rene felt that he needed something more to his existence.

After three days of agonizing at the side of the pond and occasionally taking a swim in the pool, an idea hit Rene.
