I send across the link to a very simple story, one that many of us can relate to. Simple yet infinitely meaningful, it makes you think of something or someone who changed your life, who, for just one moment, made everything better, made your view of life more clearer and lighter than it once was. In some relationship or the other - love or friendship, family or stranger - a fleeting, yet extremely meaningful and nurturing bond, that gave its utmost to provide you with something, a moment that will change your life forever.
However, it is but fleeting, as I said - although most precious, no doubt, because there is no such thing as "perfect", since perfect is a bar set a bit too high, out of everyone's reach, as "perfect" is merely a mindset, surreal and momentous. So a perfect moment, to remain perfect in your mind, ends prematurely, as set by the Grand Architect of life - God. Even as it disappears, you try hard to hold on to every little shred of the memories of that moment, saving it, so that it would, at a time, be an inspiration in any difficult moment thereon, while never forgetting that one thing, even in your most joyous moment. Your special bitter-sweet elixir of life - unique to each, yet a profound driving force.
This bit of text, one that I call "a letter to my dearest friends", comes directly from my heart, in a spiritual moment, as I was reminiscing about my own moment in the sun while I watched this little video with wonder and awe. The one moment that I will hold onto, no matter what, till I grow icy cold, oblivious to the world, when I eventually set off to meet my maker. I suggest you do too, with your most beautiful memory, as it is the one thing that will keep you fighting to the end, and continue doing its utmost to keep your hope alive, to remind you that this is a life worth living, no matter how cynical you may be and despite what you may have been through. There is still hope, no matter how obscure, for without hope, there is no life.
The appealing subtext to its message urged me to put these words down and share it with my dearest, as it was a valuable lesson learnt, one I deigned to not keep to myself.
With lots of love,
With lots of love,
Me <3
