Finding treasures along the way, finding oasis on a world in a hurry. I slow down my breathing and take it all in. I observe the miracle presented in front of me and decipher the meaning of life by doing so. The event that repeats endlessly seems such a unique experience. I could come back for ever, I could relive this moment and it would never get old, it would never become monotones. My mind fills with creativity. My spirit settles down, my soul find peace, my heart heals.

I look around aware of my untruthful solitude. I look for the companions who reign this valley. They did not come today, they found a different place to contemplate perfection. In solitude I connect with the loved ones, they come to my awareness; they surround me, their laughs, the moments shared together. And I sit in silence, letting all the memories go through my mind, slowly. The reflections of the ending light bring me peace, make me miss the close feeling of love, the warm touch I no longer have. The last warm sun rays on the peaks remind me of how valuable what we had was, how complete all can be when you have what we had.

The ending of another perfect day ignites my imagination. Visions of the future, the new one, pass along. So many different choices, so many different possibilities. Of all of them, the finding of a companion who I can share this moment with comes stronger than any other. This perfection can only be improved with love in silence. Silence that says more than any words I can write, than any image I can freeze in time. A hand hold for eternity, a touch that breaks solitude, a touch that speaks with purity, a look through those loved eyes, only that can overcome the beauty I witness now.
