She sighs in contentment; she never imagined seeing it again. She had never expected to have her senses back. She was contemplating whether she should be thankful or not. A peony is in her hand. She held the stem gently and twirled it in place. "So beautiful, yet so delicate." ~Just like you.~ "Yeah, maybe. I have reaped it, and now it's mine to keep." ~You can't keep that forever.

"That's not true... I need you because I love you." "You can't love someone you never had in the first place. It's impossible." I shook my head in disagreement. I was angry and frantically shook my head, knelt again, and swayed back and forth. I held my head in my hands. "It was all a dream. Sally, wake up. Wake up." I shouted. "Every disaster must be overcome with endurance." A quote from Virgil echoed in the air. "To gain something, you must lose something in return. For that to happen, the course is to choose your destiny or let fate choose it for you."

Hundreds, if not thousands, and I wanted the best of the best. "Miss Blackman, transfer all the calls to my mailbox and join me in here so we can go through these together," I said, daring not to touch any application until I had help. "Yes sir," she answered with a smile and withdrew quickly. I liked that about Miss Blackman. She was always cheerful and up for any task or challenge I threw her way. _______________ "This one is too shallow." " Too deep and egotistical." "Too short." "Too self expressive."

Izza was aware of the famous saying that says ‘nothing lasts forever!’ How could she go on if she gets used to depending on him?

“What do you see? Because all I see right now is emptiness.” “Put enough imperfections together and, eventually, you will achieve perfection. But even then, perfection is all about perspective. Maybe you and Ivan and your imperfections will make the kind of perfect you both need.” She cupped my cheeks and kissed the top of my head. “Sit here, drink wine, and I will go and call my pain-in-the-arse twin to make sure he’s not taking a hammer to a door or something.”

PART 1 THE TRAVELLER Not all those who wander are lost ~ J.R.R. Tolkien. Jan 17, 2065 "Someone said, 'Immortality is to live your life doing good things and leaving your mark behind', didn't they?

One choice at a time. Not thinking about sustainability. About long-term. About forever. Just now. Just this. Just next moment.
