time flies by in a blur as i continued to cruise on carefreely. times when i make the effort to dock and take stock, i get a shock at how time can be relative. it's only been four months since i started a few phase of my life, learning, absorbing, growing. 2 months since i've stumbled into love, and grown and learnt even more. it feels alot longer than months. feels like years. oh my. the intensity of it all seems to accelerate my flurry of emotions and ushered me into a whole new realm.
Love is tender, love is sweet. Love is also too elusive to demand that it fulfill every emotional need. i've come to appreciate and yearn even more, the stirring of the soul, the broadening of the mind, the elevation of living on a higher plane. Of absorbing and generating deep ideas and emotions that transcend the mundane everydayness of life(yes, sadly, the daily loveydoveyness does not satisfy completely). there needs to be a space carved out and preserved for the individual, to refresh, to dream, to explore, the deeper meaning and mystery of existence.
I've started to love the phrase "carve out the time and space". there's an artsy and whimsical ring to it, as if lovingly constructing a work of art for oneself. I just need to figure out what best to fill it up with. solitude? bright blue skies, seas and cotton clouds?
