I can see; Can you?

Have you seen Avatar? Not the cartoon but the giant blue people. No? Well, if you have time and are looking for a good movie, you should take some time to watch it. In the movie, Jake and Natiri go on an adventure and slowly being to “see” each other. It’s not a matter of having sight. It’s a matter of being able to see into someone. You can see their soul and true self and you can show an immense respect for someone because you see them. This is a notion I’ve always had. I care only for the beauty of your soul and your personality. Unfortunately, many do not show their true selves and do not let others see them. For someone, like me, wants to be able to have such a deep connection and be able to respect someone so much so be able to see them, this is a sad fact. You walk around and you see masks. You can pick up on colors and sometimes patterns but these are all just illusions.

There is an idea used in ancient times that is similar to what is described. This idea is rooted in deeper connections as well. You are not only connected together as a pair but you, as a pair, are connected to the trees, grass, life in general. Can you image such a connection? Can you feel the power and love behind those connections?

I’d like to know but the cold I feel inside is an indication that my true love has moved on. I don’t feel that connection and I will never feel it. I long for  a place that does not exist, at least in this world. I long for a love that escapes words and life itself. One that needs no reinforcement. I long for a long that requires the simplest form of admiration and respect. Two individuals who can both be separate entities and yet, resonate at the same level. Can you imagine just a love?
