Reading majic's journal

If only we could live in a moment and stay there eternally and never leave and never stray. Life would be perfect, never pain, never hurt and never depression of any kind.

I'd live in April 2004 with the white sands, rolling waves and immense feeling of family and communion that ensued with my vacation to Hawaii... If life was ever perfect and family ever functional it was then, it was now, it was like nothing you can ever dream of... The sand, the air, the sky, the water and the relationships were perfect, we were invincible, inpenetrable and that feeling will forever last inside a place I've come to love inside my heart.

The pictures, the laughs, the smiles and the people will never escape a sacred dwelling inside my mind. I know this place like I've known nothing else in my life, I can distinguish it by smell, touch, sight and instinct... it's like a piece of music that we can't shake out of our minds, it's that song in the morning that we sing but cannot figure out why we are doing so. It's that fragrance that reminds us of something we love, something we know and something we've been after for oh so long.

Life is unmistakibly forgiving, loving and providing. It's our job to figure out the how and when... When we do we must never let go, no matter the odds, the hardships or the distractions. Find your moment, find that place, that song, that fragrance that reminds you of why you are here and why you keep forging alone... Take life by the hand and lead it to where you want to go and make every possibility limitless!

After all it's your moment, live in it!

I love this. Thank you. :-) It is reminding me of everything that rushed through my mind upon viewing the movie: Broken Flowers...and I keep thinking of Somewhere in Time as well. There are moments that just transcend time, and then there are those that just get lost in the past. Reading your post is part of the synchronicity of events that has occured for me lately, and I do not take it lightly.

Not to mention, again, that this is beautiful to read. Thanks for posting it.

Oh wait...*chuckles*...I was just getting out of the shower, and looking for my favorite bottle of lotion, when I decided to read the back of it. You might find this only tangential, but the smell of the lotion and the writing take me back to 4 years ago, standing under a ginko tree in Forest Park, with the leaves rustling in the air (I can hear them now), and the left side of my face pressed against a special man's cheek. Just for shits and grins the words on the bottle were this:

Through a vine covered arch to the edge of an island sea, wrap your skin in a labyrinth of scent and renewing moisture...On a winding path banked with wild herbs, the warm scents of fig leaf and sweet cassis mingle with cooling breezes of mandarin orange, lemon, coriander and cypress. Hints of the past. A glimpse of the future.

Hm. I think I was wearing this lotion on that lovely day...and I am glad I read your post and remembered it again.

My mind is made up...not like my bed, which is a mess.

What a beautiful post. Life would be perfect if you could just grab your favourite most desirable memories and keep them forever...sadly we cannot go back in time and although we must remember that we will ave moments in the future we still mustn't loose touch with our pasts... write to old friends or carers... keep in touch with family (if you want to then do it.
Past life is to precious to just be interested in the future and new relationships!

For me contacting favourite past memories isn't difficult I have my music...many songs can take me back. I also have my mothers perfume she wore when I was a child...And my script od Alice in Wonderland were I played alice...which is so worn away were I had used it so much reminds me of being at school and just 11 years old... I had somegreat friends, I was succesful in many fields..its sad now as I think back thats what I thought I would be doing acting on stage when I'm older...and now I dont do anything...but shouldnt be a sad memory now should it!

Anyway...thanks for this inspiring post..really short and sweet! loved it.

I almost had you

For me contacting favourite past memories isn't difficult I have my music...many songs can take me back.

You know it's funny that you said that, Music is mostly what takes me back and let's me relive the memories. I have a special album that let's me relive April 2004 and everytime I play it, I'm sent back and I invision the moments that I have come to love. I would pay any amount of money to be able to just have a few hours back, just let me go back and experience it for a moment. If I could just do it again and relive the feelings, the emotions and the satisfaction... If I could just see the beach, the water, the sand and taste the air... If I could touch the people and the love, If I could have one more laugh... One more joke and one more smile that was so heart felt. If I could just feel this damn good.. It's like no feeling any drug can give you.

I'd give anything to be able to go back and feel as happy as I did then.
