Pearls in life...
I once sat in a beach in Durban, Southafrica. I was not contemplating the sunrise, it was the other way round. A momentum, you know. One of those "I will always remember this" type of moments. I was watching the dolphins dancing with the waves and playing with the golden reflections of the sun in the water, when a friend came and sat by my side. (A little hangovered after some random room party)
We had one of those conversations. And at some moment he told me: "You know Nacho, I think life is like a pearl necklace. There is this string that connects all these quasi perfect beads and it all closses at the end. If you take a REALLY close look at the perls you will see they are not perfect at all but they were randomly picked to be there and they all need each other to form the necklace. So is life. There are many moments that will be like pearls, one after the other, and there will be a common thread that will connect them. You might find some of those moments quite unusual and you might wonder why they happen and why they are as such. However, you will see that it all closes at the end" (I have to admit, quite a nice analogy for a semi drunk dude)
Why do I remember this at 2 AM on a THU morning-night lying on my bed, not being able to sleep?. I do not know, really! Althouhg, I know God gave many good qualities in life (fow which I am extremely thankful) but unfortunatelly He has not touched me with the gift of patience... and I simply want to know NOW HOW THE FUCK the ridiculously crappy day I had today fits in this life of mine!!!!
Seriously, crappy as not many other days in my life. And I am a positive dude, if I am telling you my day was crappy, believe me: it was!
Note: for the record I am still positive, I believe in challenges being there to be overcome, and all that, but COME ON... IT IS ALOMOST CHRISTMAS! Gimme a break! (Thanks for reading my e-Catharsis.)
(And if I take a closer look at the pearls in the picture I can almost see how the little bstards laugh at me! I should go to bed and try to sleep, this crankyness is not good!)
