It took a short drive to expose my heart to the purest moment i have had in two years. It didn't feel like much at the time as i sat absent-minded going through life like everyone else. The trees sprinted past my window, cars whistling by as we earthlings go about our day barely noticing all the good surrounding us. We turned off the highway into a smaller road. The grass stood tall beside the road, the trees waltzed to the wind slowly.
I stepped out of the car and looked around in awe. i could hear my footsteps in the emptiness of the vast space, my heart sang as i listened to the silence whispering to birds. In that moment, i felt small. The emptiness embraced my soul almost into purity. A smile escaped my lips, a deep breathe and that moment i realised that i was blessed to have been alive to feel an untainted joy. Bliss. I thanked God (whatever alias He was using in that moment). Many things could probably be wrong with me. Nothing mattered, in that moment i was glad to be alive and to be with Her in such serenity.
Nothing is guaranteed, not life, love, not even friendships and/or family. Life passes by holding hands with time and beauty shows up in gasps. Mostly we barely notice. We spent a few minutes sitting in nothingness then finally we silently said our goodbyes and headed back to the lights, streets and world of broken dreams.
It wasn't anything, it wasn't nothing, it was just but a moment, but it was more than anything i could ask for.
