[An Escape of Emotion] Grateful

March 3th, Naha, Okinawa ...

It occurs to me that apparently Life is streamed in bits, the funny thing is that those bits are always there, but not there at the same time. It is just like the Zen philosophy, their non-existence complements their existence itself. I know, I am not making sense, and even if I explain, you might not be able to understand me.

I am like millions of people around the World, the most common person ever, who has experiment losses (material and non-material). I guess at some point in our lives, we all have to face some difficulties ... anyhow, from such things is that I have learned to appreciate life better, to appreciate the World better, what I have and, furthermore, what I have become. But I could not learned of appreciation, if I would not have to face such difficulties.

The bits that make my life alive are so simple, a "good morning", a smile of stranger, a call of a friend, a double iced yogurt in a hot day, the voice of my little nephew through the phone, a coffee mocha in a cold morning while looking the sunshine through my window (after a long cold winter), a sky dressing stars adorned with a silvery crescent moon in summer ... God! I just remember and I feel goosebumps.

It feels that life comes in bits, and every of those causes sudden joy to my heart and makes me happy .. immensely happy ... :)

Today, I am grateful because I am healthy and my family is too, because nothing worries me, and I can appreciate those small tiny bits of life, which would not exist, if there was not exist emptiness ... so I guess, although it is difficult to say it, I should be thankful for the empty and dark days too.
