Who would imagine?
As I sing the song below I am suddenly back at
the Splendour of the Seas 's back deck again, doing what I used to do a
thousand times when I was onboard...
Feeling the wind and hoping to forget the past at same
time as I dreamed about the future ashore.
That usual cold wind has helped me to think clearer
about my deepest issues. And today I'd really like and need go back to
that deck again.
I've been missing the sound of the ship across
the sea, the friendly sea wind on my face, and my “shipmates” weird
noises… LOL
At least now, thank God, I do not have anything that I
want to forget . Now, I only have good memories that erased those sad thoughts.
I have no doubt that my life is much better since
came I back home, and even though the tough times are still a part of my real
life, they also taught me that alongside of the good times they are
a unchangeable part of life.
Amazingly so, I must admit that I am still bothered by
some unexpected issues nowadays ,and is in those moments that I’d
like to have a little bit of that sea wind blowing in my face, helping me
keep my mind and blood cold enough to make the best decision, to step in
the right path.
That place, at the end of the ship, usually would have
provided me the impression that I was far enough from any bad things, feelings,
situations, even people sometimes. And then able to see them through a
different perspective and consequently silencing that bad things out.
The best thing about see the bad times at a full perspective,
is that a global view seems to provide us with a possibility to choose
the best alternative for our problems almost every time.
That’s why I’ve been praying to God “Dear
Lord, please help me feel as I did when I was at that back deck, in such a way
that I can have a full perspective and make the best choices about life,
people, behavior, and all things surrounding me. Dear God, I do need to see the
problems smaller than they are, to solve them in a easier way and I depend upon
you to do it”.
And then, the most amazing things start to happen, a
thought, or better than that, the conviction that God still being so
powerful and merciful as he’s ever been , and I can be sure that better things
are coming, even though I have no longer that sweet cold air blowing in
my face .
P.S.: I'd like to say thanks to my
dear friend Carolina Castro, who gently has revised this text.
MANY THANKS CAROL!!!
Job very well done :).
