JULY, 5 YEARS AGO

It was a Saturday, and I was caught by the sound of beautiful music from a violin. I traced it to the chapel to find out there was a wedding, a simple one, yet oddly it seemed more romantic to me. Just a few people, probably just the relatives and the closest of friends, and of course the priest and the solo violinist. The music was really nice and it tugged at my insides. It's been a while since I've been in a church. I realize that I miss God so much and that I really need Him in my messed up life. I wondered how and why we have to go through so much garbage in this life. I consider myself a rather simple man. The simplest things could make me happy. So many thoughts passed through my head...of love, of loss, of failure, of need, and of absence...it drove me to tears...good thing there weren't too many people on my side of the chapel.

I also got to think of weddings and of true love. It must feel great to truly find someone to be with. Someone to believe in, someone meant for you and vice versa. On my wedding day...(to much sap that it would be a crime to continue:p)

"However mean your life is, meet it and live it: do not shun it and call it hard names. Cultivate poverty like a garden herb, like sage. Do not trouble yourself much to get new things, whether clothes or friends. Things do not change, we change. Sell your clothes and keep your thoughts."

-Henry David Thoreau
