The thoughts of an odd duck who sits alone in a night cafe, with a stylo in his right, a journal in his left, a valise under his chaise, a tasse on the table, and plenty of time to pass.
You know that expression, "the one that got away"? Well she is like the angelfish that got away. I don't know but if God wills that I fall in love again, whoever I end up with must be an archangelfish because it's hard for me to imagine receiving a greater blessing than she. But alas! The one I wooed, gave me woe. I'm handling it though. These things don't happen for no reason. If it was meant to be, no matter how much I screw it up, God will provide the opportunity to fix it up. I accept it.. but I just need to feel it.
The heart has it's reasons which reason knows nothing of.-Blaise Pascal The mind is no measure for matters of the heart.
But you know what? I woke up this morning & it was a good day. Most people don't understand the power of a smile or a simple "hi". Other people don't understand the power of receiving them too. Today, my morning was made. When I felt so down and out about everything, walking down the beaten path of the West Quad, seeing people I know, the simple greetings really transformed my mood. And the smiles from strangers (which now that I think about it.. I hope I didn't have boogers on my face or something) were really uplifting. Ok everybody, smile more ok? Say hi more! Because you never know who's loving it. You never know who's heart you are helping to heal. You never know what beauty you're bringing into the world. And don't let that love ever get away.
