Flashes of 10
They say things come at moments you least expect.. just like how I saw a black Mazda 3 while having only the sole intention of crossing the road. Oh well... it was sleek i should say.
And yes... moments we least expect, or moments we didnt take notice. They're worth remembering, and piecing together when our time on Earth is done, if only we could just meet five people in heaven.
If the lines above were incoherent, it's only because I can't think clearly, as of now!
So in the most simplified terms, about my experience:
The fact - I spent almost 30 minutes, armed with a digital camera trying to take a shot of lightning.
The outcome - To no avail
The interpretation - They say lightning comes in flashes of 10. TEN! It actually sounds alot when replaying the scenario of lightning flashing 10 times in your head. Yet again, we know for a fact that what we view isn't 10 flashes, but only a pathetic ONE. If these ten flashes were akin to ten different crossroads we ventured before with the same person, I guess that would mean we only viewed one. So you see... we forgot nine.
Numbers aside, it may mean that we have existed in this mood of peaceful oblivion, where things happening right around you, we don't notice, even if it jumps right in front of you multiple times.
Again, it may mean that what we remember about life may well be the significant things that happen, not the minor, not the insignificant, not the boring. Significance is again a dangerous word. I know I've regarded minor things in the past now as of major significance. The same may be applied to so many other activities we've involved in over the years. Putting things into one perspective, there may come a time when I would regret not having spent more time decked in my orange shirt, with people of the same fashion sense, same interests, and same spirit. As of now, i have reason to believe we all have reason to change out of these shirts, put on new ones, new ones which signify only of new bonds that have come. One day, when I do open up my wardrobe, I hope that the very trusty orange shirt would still be available for me to wear. And on the same day, I do hope everyone would do the same.
On the day I do manage to see ten flashes in a single lighthing, that would be that day I have truly cherished all... no regrets, no misses and mistakes. Probably that'd be the day of death. But its always better to have seen than never!
