Les dimanches poétiques (113)

"Sometimes people come into your life and you know right away that they were meant to be there, to serve some sort of purpose, teach you a lesson, or to help you figure out who you are or who you want to become. You never know who these people may be (possibly your roomate, neighbor, coworker, long lost friend, lover, or a complete stranger), but when you lock eyes with them, you know at that very moment they will affect your life in some profound way.

And sometimes things happen to you that may seem horrible, painful, and unfair at first, but in reflection you find that without overcoming those obstacles, you would have never realized your potential, strength, willpower, or heart.

Everything happen for a reason.

Nothing happens by chance or by mean of goodluck.

Illness, injury, love, lost moments of true greatness, and sheer stupidity, all occur to test the limits of your soul. Without these small tests, whatever they may be, life would be like a smoothly paved, straight, flat road to nowhere. It would be safe and comfortable, but dull and utterly pointless.

The people you meet who affect your life, and the success and downfalls you experience, help to create who you are and who you become."

Les dimanches poétiques (96)

"Pendant quelques secondes, ils furent unis dans un accord parfait. Un éblouissement, un flash, un instinct de vie. Mesurant le chemin et les risques pris pour arriver jusqu'à l'autre, ils étaient bien obligés d'admettre qu'ils étaient des "twin souls": des âmes jumelles qui s'étaient reconnues et qui avaient cheminé pour parvenir à la même destination. A présent, il y avait entre eux comme une évidence, un élan, une alchimie. Un sentiment primitif qui remontait aux peurs et aux espoirs de l'enfance. La certitude vertigineuse d'être enfin face à la personne capable de combler leur vide, de faire taire leurs peurs et de guérir les blessures du passé."
