Category: Heaven On Earth

To be able to dance in the rain. To be as free as a little child that knows no fear, no judgment, no shame for doing something that makes him happy.

Not caring whether he’ll slip or fall in the mud, not caring whether he’ll get drenched all over. When you dance in the rain, you remember once more how to dance in life, you remember once more the taste of heaven.

A WALK IN THE RAIN

A walk in the rain
my feet in the mud
a patter of raindrops
as I look up above
Streets are flooded
I wade my way through
like a child lost in wonder
like a child lost in awe
And if I can dance without tripping
if I can just sing once more
I’ll thank the rain now washing my face
and I shall walk on and on and on…

Being able to inspire someone. Making an impact on another person’s life. Making a difference. To feel how a child looks up to you and wants to become just like you one day. Just how great is that?

It makes you feel bigger and smaller at the same time. It enables you to reflect upon your own life. It enables you to ask how far you are still willing to go. When you inspire another, you learn that you don’t need to teach anyone so much. You only need to live your life to the fullest, you only need to be the best of who you are.

Graduation is sweet for this thing alone – that you have made it through not because you were alone, but because you have so many people who have inspired you and guided you along the way. It is bittersweet because you have to say goodbye to some of them, yet the sweetness remains because these people will always be a part of who you are.

You have been through a most wonderful journey, and you came out of it a better and stronger person. You can now smile back at all your difficulties, at all those nights you’ve spent studying or worrying about a project or failing at an examination. Those were not the most important things after all. What matters is the journey, that you have come so far, and before you is a whole new world to explore and conquer with the people dearest to your heart.  HEAVEN.  😉

Growing old together, being wrinkled and cozy and warm at the same time. Knowing that after all the years that passed, some things remain, the most important things do. You have each other, and you look forward to each day as you have looked forward to each one before… with great anticipation and joy.

You have traveled the world together, and yet you still see things as though you were seeing it for the first time. You have been tested, and you have been victorious. See how sweet your victory is – for no young love could ever compare to two souls that have danced a lifetime. Heaven.

Visiting old friends. Remembering that there are people you could trust.

Being in the company of those who accept you as you are, and who believes in you even in times when you can’t believe in yourself anymore. Laughing, dancing, chatting away the night in your pajamas while eating potato chips and homemade cookies. Now that’s heaven!

“Nothing but heaven itself is better than a friend who is really a friend.”-Titus Maccius Plautus
