The Second Coming

S called me for an event already happening, yet not in its full presence.

Though a bit surprised as it exceeds daily expectations, I did feel the burgeoning of something new inside.

We had a long talk through the phone, exchanging thoughts regarding the impact the event may have on our life. This, of course, is of the line of thought that resides on the reality principle. Reality, for sure, demands that the event be stopped.

Can reality ever think otherwise?

Deep inside my heart a voice did sound otherwise, singing to me a celestial bliss the event's coming will bring us.

Along with the bliss will come hardship? Yes. Ordeal? For sure. A great disruption of our already planned and scheduled life? Definitely.

To deal with that disruption will be the greatest and the gravest challenge we will face were we to decide welcoming it. We will need courage, wisdom, and love to house the bliss coming to us.

To be ready to not be ready. This is the essence of hospitality, of hope, and of future.

After thoughts and tears, I have made up my mind to receive the gift, to welcome the guest into my house, into my life, and to believe at the same time that the blessed guest will enrich my life, will make my days countless ones teeming with life.

This is the Second Coming.

And I have nothing at hand to prepare myself other than the patience in love and the faith in hope.
