If we could just run away..
If we could just escape..
Over there it'd be better..
A better house..
A better job..
Something we like..
A life we'd rather have..

As I was watching this movie-The Revolutionary Road,
it brought some points to ponder.
You would think a couple who seems to have it all,
is so lost and confused within it all..

I remember when wanting a vacation,
I was really wanting a way out,
a way out of responsibilities,
a time to just be out-
in nature and in earthly surroundings,
not listen to people's problems or
always try to be in places
where I am needed,
a vacation I truly need because Naomi was truly needed,
to be there for herself..
and then as I vacationed, I realized there's no escape-
drama is everywhere, everywhere we look..

Even in our minds, in there, can we really look-
and be with it?
Look at our own dramas and respect it-
and give it love,
look at it with a senseless glow
a divine kindness,
a bit of tranquility,
a sincere humility-
It is there where I truly began to see
what a real vacation can truly be.

A true vacation is not only what's outside us-
but the love that's inside us-
in the background of what we do..
And when there is love, we are gliding in a sailboat
at 2
o'clock in the morning
watching the stars
and adoring
this sight that we see
with eyes of love
and spark just like the beams
of light we see in the horizons,
and then in truth
we keep our lights on-
within our hearts-
isn't that our truest bubbly
spark-
of champagne?
I feel so,
may be you can also explain..
or share your side,
of what you think you truly are..

In any event,
may we always share
what vacations are honestly made of-
Is it just to have fun in a fair?
Or is it to be okay with challenges we bear?
Is it to be okay to feel all things when they come?
And to guide our minds to entertain what serves us in life so that we can truly spark and become-
a bridge of compassion.
And when we're drowning or spent, to take time for ourselves and bring in compassion.

A vacation is really not what we do outside,
isn't it the compassion that we carry with might?

And then a vacation is always available by far,
and that's when I think we can trully connect to the stars!
