in a mailing list for writers, we were recently asked to write something that is based on a strong emotion, maybe to describe it or maybe just to try to define it. the example given at the challenge was the description of love-making in bicentennial man:
"That you could lose yourself. Everything. All boundaries, all time.
That two bodies can become so mixed up that you don't know who's who
or what's what. And just when the sweet confusion is so intense you
think you're gonna die, you kind of do. Leaving you alone in your
separate body but the one you love is still there. That's the
miracle. you could go to haven and come back alive. Go back anytime
you want with the one you love."
and here is my attempt at something like it. i know, i'm not a hollywood screenplay writer. i'm not even an award-winner, but hey, who says i can't have strong emotions?
A moment with my baby
Have you ever truly experienced the miracle of life? For more than six
years now, each day is miracle of this life—this little hand that knows
how to touch me just at the right place that I end up smiling without
realizing it; this little voice that shouts out Celine Dion songs like there
was no tomorrow; this little body, so warm, so alive and thankful to be so!
She makes me grateful for having survived this arduous journey called life,
inspite of myself. She gives me hope that love could still be so innocent,
trusting and pure. And no giddy moment with a man could ever surpass
hearing her say, "I love you, too, Mama!" Yes, she makes it all worth
it.
so there.
