Eat. Pray. Love.

Have you ever stayed up all night with your favorite person and watch the dawn slip out of the dark, dark night? 
Have you heard the birds urge and beckon the brand new day?
Have you seen a baby, totally unrelated to you, and been unconditionally in love with it? 
Even more basic. Have you ever loved? A person, a pet or even a plant? 
Has a kid ever grabbed your finger and have you had the urge to protect it? 
Have you watched someone fall asleep on your lap and been overcome with a feeling of joy and peace? 
These are the few boons of the mechanical world we survive in. I remember this one line from the film Troy : "Everything is more beautiful because we're doomed.", and while I had my share of swooning over Brad Pitt while he said this, I realized how achingly right Achilles was. The beauty of this life is because everything is so temporary. So mortal. If you're looking for permanency, you're in the wrong place. While you enjoy a hot, creamy cup of coffee with the one you love on a beautiful, shiny morning, be prepared for it to be the last. Enjoy each day like it's your last. Bucket lists? Have you been able to chart out your time left? Then go with the spontaneity! Never once push your dreams behind. Do everything that's possible today, TODAY!
Be in a relationship that means something to you. Sing in the rain. Dance on the wet grass with your feet bared. Unplug. Take a walk. Buy a pet. Heck, adopt one! Feed a hungry child. Eat a lot yourself! What's the point of watching your cholesterol levels if you  don't know where you're headed in life? (Having said that, please work out equally hard. You might kill yourself if you stuff your face with too much of the wrong stuff!). Take a LOT of pictures. Write your memories in indelible ink. Love unconditionally. "Because you'll never be lovelier than you are now. You will never be here again".
