Letter to My Friend...
Hello my friend, wherever you are,
So long since I saw you last... so long since I laught with you... so long since I hugged you...
I am well... stepping ahead... into the unknown... I packed my things again: cloths, memories, shoes, photos... I packed my life and once again I moved... this time East... Left my 3rd home town to move to my new home town... or should I just say HOME... "home is where your friends are" but my friend, you are here and there... you are far and close... it's hard to define...
Here everything is new and old, exciting and confusing, fun and outrageous, comfortable and questionable... it's fresh and I enjoy it! Today I went to the park to read... sat on a large stone under a 72 year old tree... very tall but still not tall enough for it's age... I thought about forests and woods... how long it took them to grow old and how fast we can just make them forgotten... all it takes is a sharp "cutter"... On the street, before the rain, the wind blew my hair in all directions... however, nowadays, I committed to look ahead and stop questioning... stop asking what if.... my friend?
Do you remember when I first heard about "Free Hugs"? I saw them here as well... they were young and smiling... they crossed the street a step away from me; asked me if I want a hug and I said no... I wonder why?... my friend, next time you see me do not allow me to say no to a hug...
I re-discovered the power of smells and colors- China Town... the fun in crowds and the kindness of a ray of sun- downtown Toronto... I have been learning a lot... about this new step, about actions; but the most, I think, I have been learning about is people... discover smiles, passions, humanity and sincerity... people in their PJ's without the perks... just them and their virtual Teddy Bear saying "Good Night" or "Good Morning"...
I feel the excitement growing inside me... seems like "Christmas morning" is closer and closer and I cannot stop thinking about the joy of unwrapping the "presents": happy, amazed, scared, anxious, inpatient, too patient... it feels that I am keeping my breath so that I can breath in all at once when the time comes... I am exercising my lungs to bare and allow the new in... exciting!
My friend, I miss looking into your eyes and understanding that you understand... I would like you to understand this new step I am taking... I wish I could understand this new step that you took/are taking/will be taking... Far apart or close by, my friend, I love that we are experiencing all of this... it gives us more to share whenever we can look into each other's eyes... incredible depth...
It's late and I need to rest as the new day brings new things... think about me, as I am thinking about you... and my friend keep your eyes wide open... capture all so I can see it the next time I stand face to face with you.
Your friend no matter how far, no matter how close,
Miruna or eyes wide open :o)
