One Fine Day…

            It was three am when I turned in last night.   I was religiously viewing a new series called One Fine Day at Veoh.  I like Koreans.  They cry when they need to.   They know how to have fun. They shout and express what needs to be said.  They hate, they love… they fight for life and take what they want without apologies.  They know how to live and for that matter die.

I always thought myself to be a risk taker.  My family is a family of gamblers.  My grandma leaves the house everyday for mahjong and pusoy dos.   My grandfather married my grandmother.  My parents eloped at 18 and are now living separate lives.  I too have fought my own battles and risked some — I loved,  got my heart broken, made commitments and found myself too weak to keep them.

I always thought myself a seeker of truth.  I have found the grandest truth in the reality that there is a God.  I dared to love him and wished to do so completely— I am without creativity though in this love and in the process I have lost a little of myself…as is normal.  I walk the path still of a seeker.  The world moves around me and the ground I stand on shifts also.

In One Fine Day, the constant thing which pulled everything together was the love that was born between the two main characters, Gun and Ha Neul (In Korean, both name means The Sky).  This love which was true— it survived separation,time passing, deaths, tragedies and all else.  This love still managed to be pure in the end.

Saranghe…

It is a cliche yes… Love makes the world go round.

It is a song and yes it is overly used…Love is the answer.

Love is real, pierces through eternity where nothing else can.

It is the closest thing one can ever get in knowing God.  When one has found it, one has found God.  When one has found it, one has been saved in a sense.

We find it too in different ways and in different times.

I just hope that I may find it and that I may look for it in the right place.

I hope  that as I search, he too is searching for me—

I hope against hope that whoever he is— we may reach that space and clearing and that one fine day, when we will find one another…
