A place enlightening the mind
Every once in a
while, I find myself in places where memories come into my mind of things of
life I have experienced.
Sat on a bus this
morning, a whole series of thoughts occupied me from the desires of others I
could not fulfil to the desires of mine I never boldly sought to see through.
For there are people we have had pass through our lives that have brought love and heartbreak, ones with whom that moment when it all looked right sometimes becomes a yearning that can never be relived.
Oh! The memories.
The heart’s medicine
However, with this
was the fact that the times we spent together were short and yet intense, they
felt like a lifetime but we never dared to make it more than fleeting.
The arrangements
were rushed, impromptu, expensive but never regretful, no expense should be
spare when one can see love because it is medicine to the heart that nothing
else can offer and those small doses were like an elixir of life and youth.
They were stolen
moments, for we never had enough time, the strong will, or the circumstances to
split the infinitive, go daringly where another story of life of love and care
might have taken us if we did have the courage.
Own the moments
Yet, we all have
these stolen moments that for all sorts of reasons we have not deigned to make
owned moments.
Our pursuit of
happiness trammelled by our fears that have overwhelmed our hopes because of
where we think we should be for others and are probably not there because we
cannot be.
Where we should be
for ourselves to the exclusion of others should be a decision we should make
and hope to make before our time runs out. Have you ever asked, where have you
been all my life?
Make that stolen
moment and owned moment, live your life, be free.
