Its the journey, not the destination
When love is truly right, it lives from year to year, changes as it goes, oh and on the way it grows, but it never disappears .......
This past weekend was simply fabulous. In a sense, you can say I was spoiled to perfection. Weddings, whether traditional or personally orginal, in a church, temple or on a beach all seem to bring about a sense of hopeless romantism in all that attends. An uplifting celebration of joining two lives together in a semipermanence created by reciting vows (some written in the form of a humorous poem at 2 in the morning of the big day) and two magic words that seal the deal. The entire constitution of such an engagement I wont deny is terrifying and nothing more than a leap of faith. I haven't decided whether or not to follow the nostaglic tradition of uniting two people who claim love for each other, but I can certaintly concede the contentment attained in being part of the phantasmic event.
I've lived and learned, awoke with a smile on blissful mornings that I wished would never end, laughed myself to tears, cried myself to sleep on morose nights that never ended soon enough. I've expierenced love and hate, remorse and impenitence, abuse and nuturing, idolized and disparaged, hopefulness and devastating disappointment, and through it all, I feel as if I have so much yet to discover and not enough time. I regret nothing of my past, for everything at time was exactly what I wanted and if in the end I was left with only a lesson, thats still more than nothing. Theres no such thing as accidents, theres what you do and what you don't do. Mistakes are made, lifes too short not to forgive and forget if the apology is sincere and from the heart. The most important value other than to love and be loved, is to appreciate, letting good gifts go to pride or overanalytical assumption, grudges and self punishment is foolish. I would like to say that family is reliable and is guranteed gift through the good and bad times, but unforutantly its an empty promise. Certain relatives become distant strangers. Confrontations, mixed views and minor disagreements take years of dedciated commitment, love and devotion and in a mere second wipe away everything that was once built to protect and sustain a friendship. All that you knew a long time ago, moments shared with someone whom you would give anything to is only a memory. So no, nothing lasts but that doesn't mean we can't search for more and develop new relationships for strangers are only strange for a day and eventually your forced to know someone. You will never fully know anyone but mystery keeps us on our toes and curious, Im still suprised by existing people in my life but for that reason I must keep open keen eyes and a mind.
Life is nothing more than perspective. You can fear everything or nothing at all. You can sit back and watch for fullfilment or if thats not enough, you can partake in the action. Living through something is more affective than hearing about it.
" If you tell me, i'll forget
If you show me, i'll understand"
-Confucius
Sometimes we do things simply because we can, or to prove something to ourselves or someone else, for whatever the reason its better to try and get an answer than sit back and forever question. Some things we will never know. Intelligence isn't just cutting through levels of ignorance, its understanding certain truths and retaining an inner innocence, not allowing hurt and painful expierences to taint a heart and impair a beautiful mind....
Beginnings are always possible if two similar mindsets meet
"I still remember when your kiss was so brand new
Every memory repeats
Every step I take retreats
Every journey always brings me back to you.
After all the stops and starts we keep coming back to these two hearts,
two angels who've been rescued from the fall
After all that we've been through, it all comes down to me and you
I guess its meant to be.....forever you and me after all
"One should always be in love, therefore one should never marry"
