So, this really is a lunch break post. And I have nothing much to say, but I felt like writing, so naturally, I shall go on.
Today is quite a beautiful day, and I have many beautiful thoughts inside of my head. It's strange how even the most poignant of thoughts seem to have an element of beauty in them.
I thought I'll share some of my thoughts with you today in this tiny blog post.
I'm thinking of flowers quite often nowadays. Not just any flowers, nor the cliched rose with its multifold symbolism. I have been thinking of lilies and oddly enough I've been thinking of sakura. It's a bit too late in season for the latter, but even though I've never seen a real one in my life, I can always close my eyes and imagine them. It is truly such an amazing sight. The sakura always remind me of my school in Singapore. There used to be a huge tree outside on the field, that turned white during April. The flowers resembled snowflakes atop a mountain and that particular scenery will be painted in my memory forever.
I've also been thinking of music. A recent event (The Lord of the Rings Orchestra) exposed me once again to the music of films. As much as I love music, the dialogue has always held importance for me. But that day, I realized the impeccable feat which Howard Shore accomplished with those films; and I'm sure nobody can recreate it. I have been gathering the soundtracks of all the shows and films I've watched and I'm listening to them again. I daresay it's bringing back a thousand nostalgic memories - of the days I sat in front of the TV at home, when I was just eleven, so carefree - relishing the taste of happiness in the form of magical fiction. When I think back I can even see the glittering dust on the carpet, the crystal showpieces on the wall and the aroma of my mother's cooking floating out to me. And this is indeed a beautiful thought.
I've been trying to think of 'love'. Not love in a personal manner of course. I've been thinking about the love others have portrayed. It gets me thinking. How can someone love so deeply? It truly is a rare miracle to be able to find that one person to grow old with. But it's an even bigger miracle to find that one family - not the blood-related ones - the real ones with whom you can die if need be. While most say that friendship is the basis of all loves, I disagree. I think love is the basis of all friendships and it makes me really happy that I have such friends to love and care for.
While most of us think that to fall in love is a big adventure, I don't believe this. I believe that the day we meet the special someone will be no different from the day we meet everyone else. In fact the transition from a lonely person to a happy pair will be so smooth it will be unnoticeable. I guess that may be how it is, because the most important person to you will complement everything in your life so perfectly. It won't be like in the movies when you realize something is different about your life. But rather, it will be so very ordinary, so very magnificent in it's own way - it will be like you have loved them all your life.
That's all for my thoughts. I think I should write down thoughts more often (?) because really sometimes it gets boring talking to your inner self. Or maybe, it's just me and my obsession with putting everything into words. Lunch break is coming to an end and so is this blog post. So, until the next post everyone! :)
