A short beautiful story of love

This entry was posted on Tuesday, July 6th, 2010 at 10:51 am. Comment on this post »

I’m at home in DC for the day screen printing napkins for the wedding. It is taking forever, but they will be beautiful. And in thinking about the wedding and in being away from Eli, I remembered a short story that I heard when traveling to Pittsburgh for an interview the day before Valentines day. It is a perfect short story that should be shared widely.

Eli isn’t here, and I can listen to stories over and over again without him complaining. I don’t really feel stories until the 4th or 5th time and by then, just when I’m excited about the design and smoothness of a story, Eli starts feeling like I am truly trying to torture him. So this morning I will listen to this story, and when I am done, I will listen to this youtube video and then I will do the same again and again. I will think of all that there is to create and of the beauty of love flying far away into the universe to be decoded maybe, perhaps… one day. I will decide again (as I do always after the 5th time I hear a perfect story) that I must do something with my life that lets me feel this arch of emotions. And I will decide again (as I always do) that in my life I need to find a way to make others share in this feeling.
