Hello everyone,
Today what I share with all of you is an extract of a beautiful conversation with a very dear friend, and I hope you read it not with your eyes, but with your heart.....
" I do know those moments of isolation and growing desire that build up and scream inside your head, wanting to know why it all ended.... a puzzle ground creating conflict with the mind and heart, and therefore leaving us to choose between living in the present or drooling over the that wondrous past.And the choice we make is critical; for it holds the power to destroy your present into a sad life governed only by memories of the past, or create hope and resilience to carry on and work towards what lies ahead. I chose the latter, and after a great length did I bear witness to my choice: I transformed my past into a beautiful memory and saw how it transfigured into something more beautiful than what you ever imagined.In fact, my love for it also gave us an opportunity like this, to get all of us together again. Louise, if there is one lesson I believe to be important to be taught in life, then it is this....'It does not do good to dwell in the past, because the past is never a truth or a lie. It is just there, and there will it remain so and decay if you do not stopper it with the cork of your mind'To tell you the truth, I too sometimes fail to control the chain of thoughts regarding the Cape Farewell and desperately wish that we could all be together to relive that experience once again.And I hope to do so to.... one day.. in the Arctic itself.
But such is life, never working on your terms but leaving you the freedom to choose your roads. So choose then right road Louise, and trust me, you will find what you are looking for.... "
