One night someone in the group had asked Hai about a relative who'd just passed to the spirit world. Hai answered the person's question then said the following.
Hai: You must remember that this occurrence, this thing that you call death, this transition, is like a ball you bounce on a wall and it returns to the centre, to the thrower. And so she has bounced on the wall and returned. The duration of the bounce sometimes is slower, sometimes it is faster, shorter in duration, but we all bounce on the wall of life and return. The ball was not thrown way out into the wilderness, it was thrown against the wall that it may rebound and return, yes. So remember this my friends, (smiles) some of you are on the rebound now - but it is nothing to worry about, (laughs), nothing to worry about. For it is the nature of the ball to rebound on the wall is it not? This may be of help to some if you put this little parable on your web.
Someone in the group who was amused by Hai's choice of phrase commented:
Q: Notice the diplomacy. Hai says some of us are on the rebound.
Davia was obviously talking to Hai in the background. As usual he couldn't resist a joke. Hai smiled and told us what Davia was saying to him. He said:
Hai: Davia says, "The lucky ones that is - for there are some yet who are bouncing on the wall."
