What is it that makes you imagine laying side by side with someone, and spending the last waking minutes (or hour) before sleep for a sensible conversation about the day's events? I would like to wish for a lifetime of such moments. Or an experience of it, at least.
More than companionship and memory-induced happiness, the recent meet up events have exposed my fundamentally-functioning three-part brain into a mill of higher than basic ideas, aspirations, spurs-to action, and imaginations of an exciting, awe-inspiring, and life-supporting adventure. One worthy noting and sharing, one to be modeled on for sustainability of an enriched life, one to serve as an epitome of witnessing life and transforming one's innate powers to their maximum potential, more for the benefit of others rather than thyself.
I have my long-time friends to thank for for the brain-washing aka ultimate inspiration aka challenge. It may sound so far-fetched, but I can assure you, it is only true for me. Perhaps the greatest blunder that applies to yours truly is the fact that opportunities abound, and the static me almost always choose to doze off on the sand, in the comfort of the shore, even never minding the sweltering heat of the sun. The sea has been calm, cool, and craving for company, even showing clearly all the crazy journeys that appeal to the most simple of senses. But ♪♫ here I am, is it I, I have heard You calling on my name...♫♪ remains to be the theme song of the immobile being.
The past is a pool of lessons learned, skills developed, and extra powers accumulated.
The present easily becomes dark without the occasional spark from external motivators.
The future is bright, but the end of the tunnel is still too far away.
“Rarely if ever, moments come that are so defining in our lives. The years are glutted with benign matters which impact us more deeply than we could have ever imagined in our youth.” ― Joel T. McGrath |
Perhaps staying afloat amidst the water, and the wind, and the wisecracks is one step enough to that journey of a thousand miles. I hope to get there. Lead me. And, please, take the wheel.
