Moment like this…!

There are times when I feel get out of the routine life and do something different. Those are the moments when I listen to my heart. I just follow wherever my inner heart leads me. One of those moments was just a week ago. It was during weekend. I did some studies during the day. I had my dinner around 8:00pm. The dinner was rather quiet. While having dinner I decided to make a short walk. I returned to my room and quickly changed my dress. Locked my room and went out. I had no clear idea of where to go. I took my usual road, which leads me to Colosseo. I prefer to take this road as there are lots people. I always notice something strange and funny along the way. As I was going to Colosseo I found one side of the road there was a concert going on. There were a lot of people around. I could hear the sound of the music from far.

I stopped for a while. The wonderful music was being played. I decided to spend sometimes. As I was listening to music I looked around. To my great surprise I found that I was probably one of the few who were alone. Most of them were in pair. Almost all of them were in a very intimate position. Some were hugging, kissing…! This scene suddenly clicked me. I found something very ‘sacred’ among the people. I asked myself, do I miss something! To my great surprise the answer was NO. There was a certain joy within me. I was happy to see people enjoying themselves. In our busy world, people often do not have time to express their love. And here I find people expressing their love for one another!

It was probably my Novice Director or any of the Spiritual Fathers told me that I must learn to appreciate the beauty of our opposite sex. I must learn to appreciate when I see a couple in very intimate position. But somehow I was never able to practice it in my life. This was the first time I was able to appreciate it. Sooner my loneliness disappeared. I began to appreciate my vowed life…
