“Better than a meaningless story of a thousand words is a single word of deep meaning which, when heard, produces peace.”
- Sayings of the Buddha
Tonight I had a date with my daughter. We watched a chick flick, “The Holiday.” I observed her fascination with Jude Law (of course, he has such blue eyes and seems soooo nice - I am in such trouble.) In the film is a secondary troublesome character. An old boyfriend of mine. Not literally of course but one of those doesn’t want to keep you, cheats on you and then just can’t let you go snakey types. Pulease!
In my situation, this old flame actually won a trip to Rome and took another woman. Yup. Actually happened. If that wasn’t enough he called me from the airport in Rome when he was flying back to tell me he had made a mistake, had had a terrible time and should have taken me instead. My God! My life was a movie script and I didn’t even know it! Seriously, that did happen. If you know the song Tennessee Waltz, that happened too. And when kissing one toad would be more than enough for most people, I guess I was just a hopeless romantic thinking one of them is bound to be a prince sooner or later. Or maybe if I could weed through all the meaningless stories, I would hear just one word that was real; one phrase that came from the heart.
When it comes to challenges in life, it is fair to say I’m over quota. I am thankful for all of them. Also thankful I need not relive them again now that I have learned. I did find my prince. The beauty is we need not even speak a single word. And even he holds court at Caesar's Palace on a regular basis, he’s never been to Rome either. Let’s hope we get there together!
Namaste!
