“Tu ausencia es algo que no me pertenece: siempre estamos juntos, que estés o no estés a mi lado.”
* sigh *
“I do care,” your eyes say, “I care a lot.” As you lay your eyes on the person you care most about during their moment of need, you want to say or do the perfect thing to send their worries away. But when words seem weak or fail, you hope your love for them will be enough — enough to help them through these tough and trying times.
“Now if you listen closely / I’ll tell you what I know / Storm clouds are gathering / The wind is gonna blow / The race of man is suffering / And I can hear the moan, / ‘Cause nobody, / But nobody / Can make it out here alone.” — Maya Angelou
You hear the cracking of dried leaves beneath your feet. You feel the blow of the cold wind across your face. And on your own, moments later, you also feel a relentless rain begin to fall from the grey and leaden skies.
Although this negative event — full of left turns and right turns, dead-ends and turn-backs — gives a glimmer of hope, it has within it a benefit. As the bone-chilling rain turns your knuckles white, this same rain waters the seed that’ll make you grow.
Most people will escape pain and suffering if they can. Some, however, grip to motivation and trek through the tumultuous times.
When all by yourself, caught in a storm, light your way home. With the hope that a change is coming in the worst of times, keep on and you will see just how much you will grow.
Go a little crazy. Take risks. Continually get better, become more. An exciting life and a rewarding life go hand-in-hand.
The way you see yourself shapes the way you see your world.
My Life: The Portrait of Everything I Have Imagined
Because I will meet someone special, read or hear words of worth, or have a thought or image I'd like to share, I will post some memories, moments and more to leave a footprint of my life.
"[...] imagination embraces the entire world, and all there ever will be to know and understand.” -- Albert Einstein
