Let's get it! Chloe takes off running. Trying to pick it up. Slowing down as she bends over to get the bird. To no avail. Then she tries floating. And again to no avail.
Jeremy says. Give it a little kick to make it stumble. It will slow it down enough so we can get it.
Chloe tries but she's to afraid to hurt the bird. Not able to kick the bird hard enough. So finally Jeremy runs up! Gives the pigeon a quick kick in the butt. It falls over and Chloe picks up the bird. Winner Winner chicken dinner! Jeremy says laughing.
unbeknownst to Chloe. Jeremy was a pig farmer and a turkey farmer at one point. So he knew how to handle this particular situation. Chloe was extatic. Having not caught to many birds in her time. She just wanted to love on it. Hold it. Fix it if she could. She stood there holding the bird. With her beautiful self. Hair blowing in the wind. Petting it and trying to communicate. Not hard to believe. Her being the daughter of a god.
Jeremy standing there feeling good asks. What's wrong with it?
Chloe says. Her name is Carolyn. She has lost her mate, and dosent want to live anymore. so sad.... Carolyn figures if she doesn't fly. A land based animal will come by and eat her. Putting her out of her misery.
That is truly a sad ordeal. he says. As they are trying to figure out how to help Carolyn. A big ole fat man with smooth bronze skin materialize's.
Chloe excited says " Buddha !" What are you doing here?! We were just comming to see your temple. And you. If your weren't busy.! She says matter of factly. She has known Buddha since she was born. His hugs are the best!
Buddha says. I felt you come into my space. It has been along time since I've seen you!. So I got excited and hurried on over.
What have you got here? Ohh! This is Carolyn..she...
No no. Not the bird my dear. He says with a laugh. Who is this man?
Ohh this is Jeremy. This is his first time here. He has just crossed over. Minus some time at the gate ...I have decided to give him a tour of Grandpa's Temple. But as I got familiar with him. I thought he would fit in here aswell. So that's why we came initially.
Well ok then. He says solemnly. Then sarcastically asks Chloe. How long does a god have to wait for a hug? From his God daughter? hmmmm?
Hotei was 6ft tall on the dot. A very wide and bigly man. With Two gaged out ears filled with ivory hoops and a spiral on his belly.
When Chloe enthusiastically stepped into give him a hug. It looked like a child hugging a giant!
Jeremy perplexed and in awe, had retrieved the bird from Chloe. He put the bird on his shoulder and straightened his clothes out as he waited. Taking in everything. While they were hugging. A bright light started to envelope them. Jeremy could feel the warmth protruding off of them.
Jeremy thinking wow! I'm gonna like this place. I definitely want one of them hugs. This is awesome! Sooo much better than earth!
While they were hugging Buddha lifted his head, and called over to Jeremy. Get over here. Believe it or not. I've been watching you from time to time. I did not know your name. But I know you want one of these 🤗 hugs. he said matter of factlly.
Jeremy excited and not at all shameful. Went in to hug Buddha and Chloe. This felt just like the gate!. Together they started to shine. All encoumpassing love. This including the pigeon Carolyn!
Hotei reached over to pet Carolyn. As a single tear fell from the birds eyes. Hotei could feel the sadness and heartbreak. He knows this feeling all to well.
Like a sickness in the heart. Wich there is no cure. A heavy weight weighing down on your very soul. But no way to release it. There is no escape! No happy ending to the story.... Just wanting it to be over! Utterly exhausted.
Hotei took this energy in.. Hoping to release Carolyn of her pain. And ultimately replace it with love.
Hotei using everyone's combined love started to heal Carolyn..
