The Lake House....
OK so I finally took the time out of my busy schedule to watch a movie. And the one movie I watch has got me thinking...thinking about time. Thinking about how we are all at the mercy of it. Whether it moves fast or slow, we are at the mercy of it. When it moves fast we want it to move slow, and when it moves slow we want it move faster. No wonder it flies so fast, there are so many people trying to kill it.
So often we get caught up in what we are doing we loose track of it. We find ourselves saying over and over again that there is never enough time in a day but find ourselves wasting precious moments. We sit in front of our televisions glued to the newest reality show, the latest video game, or we type away at our computer just like I am doing now. Then minutes pass and hours pass and still we are there. I am just as bad as anyone else. My whole life is starting to revolve around this electronic device on my lap, and time goes by....
I found myself today saying to someone not to rush into anything, that there is all the time in the world, but there really isn't. That phrase in itself is a joke. If we had all the time in the world we would not die, there would be no disasters and there would be no tragedies. But there are. You see it everywhere. The car accidents, the murders, the natural disasters.
We wait for the perfect moment, in search of that one ideal second to do what needs to be done, or to say what needs to be said. And we wait....so many people wait. Soon that second turns into a minutes, that minutes into an hour and that hour into a day....pretty soon it is too late to do or say anything. And again, what if that moment never comes. It is like trying to take the perfect picture. You want to capture as much of the moment as you can into that one 4x6 piece of paper so you look at it from every angle. Pretty soon that moment that you wanted to capture is over and there you stand with nothing but a memory.
Yes, it was one movie that provoked this...an entire movie that pushes the absolute question of time and waiting into another dimension. Everything is connected, whether you know it or not. Right now if I had a choice and no other obligations I would not wait any longer. If someone were to ask me what I am most afraid of right now, in this moment, I would have to answer so simply: the one thing I fear most is to never getting to meet the one person I can never imagine my life without. Three more months may separate us and I know that everyday is one day closer to seeing him, but it is also only takes one second of one day for the unthinkable to happen. So if that day comes before the three months are done I want him to know this:
-somebody is very proud of you.
-somebody is thinking of you.
-somebody is caring about you.
-somebody misses you
-somebody wants to talk to you.
-somebody wants to be with you.
-somebody is thankful for the support you have provided.
-somebody wants to hold your hand.
-somebody hopes everything is allright.
-somebody wants you to be happy.

-somebody is thinking of you and smiling.
-somebody wants to be your shoulder to cry on.
-somebody wants to go out with you and have a lot of fun.
-somebody thinks the world of you.
-somebody wants to protect you.
-somebody would do anything for you.
-somebody is grateful for your forgiveness.
-somebody wants to laugh with you.
-somebody remembers you and wishes that you were there.
