We are stopped at a red light on our way to home from a brewery where we had delicious beers. The sky is bright and looking over the cemetery ahead I think about Luc, my son’s friend, who passed away before finishing elementary, and I think about his legacy over my son for I catch him touching his bracelet with Luc’s name on it every so often. I’m grateful for the chance for my son to be acquainted with him because I sense that he instills innocence, compassion, being the best you can be, laughter, and etc. into him because Luc was everyone one of those things, as my heart knows.
A flock of birds flow over the big blue sky with the sun glittering on them as if to acknowledge my thoughts, maybe a greeting from Luc, I’d like to think. I’m feeling blue because I also remember a hurtful event from past, and the sight of flying birds uplifts my mood. Then I think about my insignificant life, however significant it seems at the very moment, a hundred years from now I won’t get to see, hear, taste and declare I’m the center of the universe. I only have this very moment to hang onto, and I only hope, like Luc, my having been will inspire some human-being somewhere and push us, human-beings, forward. It doesn’t seem like we are going forward though. Maybe we just need to understand where and who we are, that is all.
Where are you today? Who is around you? And who are you around them?
I listen to The Beatles for some reason the rest of the day starting with A Day In Life…
