Lost In Beauty-

'If you ever find yourself stuck in the middle of the sea,
I'll sail the world to find you
If you ever find yourself lost in the dark and you can't see,
I'll be the light to guide you'

'We are all a little weird and life's a little weird, and when we find someone whose weirdness is compatible with ours, we join up with them and fall in mutual weirdness and call it love.'

Let's think for a moment, about all the people in the world. Are you thinking about them? All 7 billion of those tiny little souls roaming the land, going about their own little business and minding no one else's. But the thing about all those tiny little miniscule beings is that, they are all connected.

Now this isn't any of that 'Lion King' stuff where the universe goes in cycles and we all go round and round and round and all the animals burst into song at the first drop of a feather. I mean, that might be true but it's a totally different story. So let's get back on track:

7 billion people in the world, 500 different ethnic groups, 190 countries, 7 continents. Yet, somebody always knows somebody else, who knows somebody and so on and so on. I can't help but wonder if there really are some invisible strings tying us all together l believe that there are some people in this world who you are inexplicably tied to. You may not know it, you won't see it, you probably won't feel it but life just seems a little empty without them. Of course, you wouldn't know why your life was feeling a little bit empty, it'll just feel that way.

Then there are some people who you undoubtedly know you are tied to. Because all the evidence points towards it: You can't ever leave their side, the sky is just a little bit more dark and gloomy when they're not around and when your heart tugs a little bit at those strings i mentioned earlier, you'll find yourselves together again.

So if we're all connected, maybe wars shouldn't happen. Maybe floods and earthquakes shouldn't get people down. Because there's not enough time. We should all be looking for those people we are tied to. So that we can spend as much time as possible with the people who we've been missing all our lives.
