Blue Blink

Sometimes in life we wander far and wide in the hope we’d get somewhere… meet someone.. do something … worthwhile…

But life has its way of putting all things together… of putting people together once again… that no matter where you’ve been or what you’ve done… there will come a time when you will come face to face with people you’ve lost touch with even for so many years…

And with each reunion you are brought back to days when dreams are simpler and happiness more attainable… You smile with each recollection of youthful laughter and playful banter over trivial matters.. You grin over that dimpled boy who first made your heart beat faster at 5th grade… you feel the pride as you remember the medals you received on graduation day.. you remember the excitement you felt when you first said yes to love…

And because life isn’t a bed of roses… sadness seeps in as you recall that victory that was almost yours when a good friend won first place in that speech contest you ended 2nd in… you get teary-eyed thinking how painful it was when you parted ways with your best friend long before school was over…  and you bow your head in bitterness over the love you lost along the way…

But as time passes it heals wounds and makes memories seem sweeter… and you realize that after all these years you long to go back to places you were in , see people you met, and do things you used to do… so as to feel how worthwhile they have become… how much they have become a part of you… how much of you has come to be because of them…

Life has its way of putting things together… of putting people together… but no matter what life brings us or where it leads us… it is the journey that makes or breaks the journey… but it is the coming home that is sweetest…
