I drove back to the woods where,
(in my youthful years), the train of
all thoughts began to take shape. I had hoped to hear the soothing sounds that
brought serenity to my severe inquisitions; but instead, I remembered the voice
that filtered my reasons when despair brought forth harmful doubts and forced
me to my knees.
It takes little effort to produce
a friend from an acquaintance, but to form a meaningful relationship with precious,
lasting memories are scarce, if not difficult to come by. And as hard as it may have been to accept it, one
very important lesson was learned today:
Time and distance have no weight of ruin when the bonds made between two
strangers are strongly crafted.
If the message was understood
correctly, today marks the day that I re-learn to cherish precious moments in
my life. The mind is a powerful
instrument of creation and self-destruction, but the heart, (proven that it can
think for itself), has an unspoken presence that can leave a long-lasting
footprint in the lives of those who are willing to be surrounded by it.
Death does not discriminate, this
is true. But Life does not end with the
last heart beat upon this Earth. Where
memories are many and the heart remains unbroken, those we have lost can be
cherished through time and space – and their soul, eternal as they are, will
live on forever in our hearts.
“You don’t have a soul. You are a
soul. You have a body.”
- C.S. Lewis
