Truth reflects on an immaculate mirror


No relationship is an Island. There are threads that bind us all and pull at our lives - the demands of family, of friends, of work and of social obligation. And there are the times that the pull of those threads becomes greater than the strength of the relationship. In these times, no matter how much two people love each other, a relationship must grow strong or must torn apart.

I have come to believe that the defining moments of our lives are not acts of courage or greatness, rather they are the simple acts; expressions of virtue or vice that are tossed carelessly like seeds from a farmer's hand, leaving their fruits to be revealed at a future date. But not always. There are moments that are like cosmic examinations, there are those who pass and those who fail.

We want to believe that we have control of our lives. But we don't. We cant even promise our time. The best we can promise is our hearts. And the most we can hope for is to live each moment as if it's our last.

Relations relate to profound wisdom


Man is born free and he is not condemned to be not free. Man has choices and that is his freedom. When there is no freedom there are no choices.

Today it is strange staying in a relationship with all the past memories. I lay awake on my bed running through the details of exotically beautiful memories. I feel high tides of expectations rising inside knowing if i serve them i will be drowned. Life is sometimes disoriented where i find myself like an emotional iceberg, terrified of my own feelings. People say " Keep your feelings to yourself, don't ever show anyone your disappointment." For me this statement is not worth denying, but is it the only solution?

With this solution are we not heading for a boring and ordinary life. We all have feelings of impending doom at times and feelings about God giving us only one way out. But there's always more than one door.

I believe we resist the solution, because we cant see it from our vantage point, but it's there. We are like the bird that gets caught in a house and keeps flying into the glass window when if it would just move a few feet to one side it would find an open door. There's always a way. But sometimes we need to trust in others to show us.
