The 'BIG' Promise — 108 Letters

LETTER 108 - THE BIG PROMISE

(TO BE OPENED NEXT MORNING AT BREAKFAST)

Baby, did you have a good time?

Everything I have ever wanted to share with you. Each note, each word… Last night was it.

Frozen into little crystal. Forever rock with the eternal twinkle…. What’s even more awesome than that? I have a surprise for you….! (Surprise page)

You see those charts? Last night was something else, isn’t it? ;-)

Baby, I want to tell you a secret. Not really a secret but something I have never told anyone. Probably because even I myself didn’t even quite understand what it means.

This is Curly. He made me understand something. Go a mile with him, like Billy Crystal (synchronicity again?).

What Curly says sounds crazy; but strangely I feel him. Seeing for a second in my mind’s eye what it feels to be him, I realize that feeling is one and the same.

To each its own may be what looks to the eye; but the invisible aroma is unmistakable. What that one thing is, may well be different for everyone. But the feeling you find with your one thing is the same inside. Like the proverbial sun with radiating rays, everybody’s just looking out from the same spot and see its magic and beauty through their unique angles. The angles all reflect back into the source of that one thing.

When he sees her in his mind, the way he relives the moment, expressions that let escape feelings so deep that it rocked him as well as it did me.

Jack Palance got an Oscar for this. I looked him up and found that in life the man is also quite an enigma himself, comfortably embracing extremes. So whether it was Curly or Jacky talking; it doesn’t matter. The message is through. These words make sense to me now.

Everything now looks to me like colors from a prism. Everything now converges into focus where the focus truly lie. The point before it breaks into the rainbow. The point where all is one. Things that happened in my life now make sense. Like plots in movies, they reveal who we are. And that we are but characters playing out these unseen forces….

I always try to imagine another ‘us’ somewhere else curling up together under a blanket and watching these movies… Everyday a story….

(Pause)Pivot

Thinking back it really is amazing how this stuck in my mind. I didn’t even particularly enjoyed the movie. But this line stuck with me like it is fresh from yesterday - all these years never bothering to really understand what he means. Like a seed that never got to see the light of day.

Baby, I think this is the seed that grew into last night. Baby, you are right that maybe the party was really for me… ;-)

(Pause)Pivot

Baby, I look at your eyes when you watched the videos the first time. If you ask me what is the most precious thing in the whole wide world, it’s that look. That look is the kind of stuff that is forever in my memory. Seared. I will never ever forget. The feelings inside… I know exactly what you are feeling. We lived it together. All the places, the times we spent together so far on this giant Roller Coaster.

Baby, close you eyes. Replay the playlists. Re-live this feeling right now.

Now I wish to ask: if it was not with you, how could I have seen these ‘miracles’? How could I have been able to find/do my one thing? How would it have been possible for me to so fully express what I have inside. For you, my one and only. One out of billions. The odds are truly astronomical. No different from the stars in the Milky Way. The wonder of it all!

If it ever was without you; tell me baby how could I have ever felt this?

This feeling is our personal frequency on the GPS. This feeling is the beacon. No matter where I land myself, I know to look for you there.

Baby, remember you asked about Plato in our game? The question you had never left my mind, probably because I wasn’t sure. But now, I can see that he was right. Love does possess the power to vanquish death.

I will find you with a book in your hand in the next next life. I promise.

With all my love & light. Forever.
