Zeyu on 天使
Last night, just after I sat down on my mat, angel appeared again.
“You came.”
“Yes, I came. Greetings to you my child.”
“Greetings to you too, my lord.”
He looked me in the eye, and paused. I nodded, and waited.
“You have carried out your mission successfully. Up until now, you have been a stubborn yet loving child, a passionate and steady deliverer and always a faithful friend. I am proud of what you have become.”
“Thank you.”
“However, there are challenges and obstacles yet to come, so I wish you all the courage, wisdom and love, so that you can walk further down this path.”
“I will try my best.”
“Tomorrow, you will see new frontiers, enter strange tides, and march upon unprecedented landscapes. Whilst all of them are of great attraction and interest, I hope you will remember where you came from, and hold upon to your principles as dearly as ever.
“For your friends in town, drop by occasionally, even only to have a chat.
“For friends on the journey, value every minute of party, before and after the parting.
“For friends far away, communicate infrequently in whichever way you can, and stay in touch.
“I will do accordingly.”
“You can have many fortunes in life. But friends are invaluable. You have to constantly invest to keep your relationship with each other. Different from most other things in the world, that investment requires nothing else, but time.”
“Time is all that I have.”
“You are right. So use it with discretion.”
“I see. There is one more thing…”
“Of course. I have made arrangements already.”
“Thank you.”
“You are welcome. Good night.”
“Good night.”
The next minute, he is gone. A beautiful white orbit is drawn from his glide, so lightly as his feather flowing across the evening sky.
