Some people spend their entire lives searching -- searching for faith, love, belief... Some people spend their entire lives pretending -- pretending that they feel when they're empty.
All I can think is, how sad and lonely it must be to live life this way, always waiting for that grand miracle, that life changing event.
I wish I could open their eyes.
I wish I could make them see the little things, to feel the little miracles: the sweet heartache of spring, the musically induced eruption of the soul, the balloon of poetic inspiration swelling inside...
These things, a scene, a song, a string of words... They're different for everyone, and they're simple, oh so simple, but does that make them any less credible?
Should we believe in them any less?
If our hearts and souls long for such things, why should we dismiss them as being ordinary? We devout our entire lives to our Bibles and religious upbringings only to be left feeling so often empty and alone. Is it so hard to place a bit of our faith in what we can honestly and confidently say we believe in?
Yes, I do, personally and based upon my own experiences, believe in a higher power, be it a Christian God or another being, but these days I think that I believe more in the music, in the poetry, in the ever changing scenes outside my window, in the things that got me through all those rough times and the things that keep me going still.
Maybe it's because I believe there's a bit of soul, a bit of spirit, to be found in every living thing. You just have find it.
