Pray

Love has been a theme of discussion and debate by many people in academic, social or other communities and circles, repeatedly over the past hundred of years - i guess. The word can refer to a variety of feelings, attitudes, emotions and experiences. The complexity of the feelings involved makes it difficult to define a particular meaning but I think we can all agree on the power those emotions emit and their imposing transformation on one’s character and personality. I would rather avoid further explanations, as there is no simple definition for its meaning; love feelings are impossible to be counted and referred to, and I am no expert on the subject, so I’ll leave this attempt to someone else.

Love has been found and love has been lost, for some people. Love has been found and love has been preserved in the core of our existence. Who can forget what the mind fails to understand and control? We have not yet realized we are subconsciously driven by our senses. We have more than one you know.

When we discuss about it we sometimes agree – if we share similar experiences – and other times we disagree; however, it can be said that according to the individual, gender, kind of relationship, intensity of emotions, character and other parameters, each one of us will have a unique set of emotions which forms several patterns of behavior such as acting on impulse, being harsh or cruel, gentle or affectionate, obsessed etc, thus restricting or expanding our knowledge and perception concerning love.

When I first experienced love, consciously, I realized I should start believing in God. It was like a tropical cyclone that feeds on heat and produces strong winds and heavy thorn rains and my heart helplessly pounding in the center as the pupil of its characteristic eye.
Whenever I was near to those people my tension released an urge to protect and serve. I could never even protect myself though; so much for anyone else, thus the act of praying came into my mind; to pray to Those with power to carry out what our weak human nature seems unable to perform. Because we are part of a greater plan and as the pawns of the Unknown we can only hold and be led by a tiny string of fate.

I pray they have a good fortune and health, and to live long and happy, and to enjoy this short journey we call life.

I pray we meet again and love each other as we once did and in the same way, at a time when the memories of this life have been forgotten, wore out, got lost and by then will belong to a grandeur of a past and in someone else’s mind and narrations.

I pray the flames of our affection keep burning and serve as an archetype of love that will guide and heal those lost in their hearts.

I pray their life be harmonious, balanced and spiritual, and that Nature provides them with a comfortable life.

I pray they can enjoy the moments as happiness is measured and found in those moments (as a dear friend said few days ago).


Thank you for being my friends and may God be with you!
