Magic Moment

The magic moment happened again! I was looking at the city from my window when suddenly I was amazed by that sun going away letting some sunbeams that overshadowed my eyes. I was full of enchantment! And once again I was confronted by the thought that we are on a planet that revolves around itself and around the sun. This natural truth that happens everyday suddenly made me feel out of my body. A gentle force suspended me from the world. I don’t know if my soul came loose from my body or if some angel was quietly by my side. In a fiery attack of tenderness I was quite happy, graced and full of beauty.
It’s like if I were being born right that moment and seeing the world for the first time. It didn’t matter all the sufferings, the dependence on this or that, the past, present or future, the bales just could be gently laid to the ground. What really matters in this rare moment that assails me from time to time is that I realize the beauty of everyday things, so simple and so full of grandeur.
The magic moment is that when we feel life pulsating or when we see life just like a child without those scales that have covered our eyes since long time ago. It is a fact that as we grow up we loose this gift that only children have. I don’t watch the sunset everyday. I should.
When the magic moment comes, the girl trapped inside me takes me all over. Then I can see the sun, the water that flows through my hands, I can see the flowers in the Spring with new colors I’ve never seen before, I can listen to Mozart, Kate Bush or Fred Mercury, feeling my soul going up to the sky. I can go to the bottom of the oceans where probably mankind was born from deep water and discover caves full of mystery and beauty. After all, is the prisoner the girl who dwells in my depths or is it me? The girl who knows everything in her innate wisdom and who doesn’t know the inevitable chaos that awaits her.
The girl inside is the one who comes to set me free. It’s the magic moment when we both meet. Even in rare moments of ecstasy, in this strange and sudden epiphany I realize that only for these moments it is worthing living.
