what a day

i m looking outside towards the sky
its a starry night
calm n peaceful
crescent moon hanging just on top of the horizon
steady sea breeze and gentle waves.....
i am feeling the peace within

however..........just about an hour ago...it wasnt the case....

zuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuupppppppppppppppppp (rewind)

A conversation that costs a car key+mobile phone+a towel & a shirt
(worth it)

i have promised a youth to go swimming today
he requested to swim by the beach
i like the idea cuz it is closer to the horizon and have a better view of sunset
we found a nice spot and drop our stuff
before beach, we had very good conversation
talk about challenges, friendship and life
we were having very deep conversation
shared about past histories and things that haunted us
i challenged him to let it go
do not let his past rules over him
he nodded, i rejoiced
for the first time that i think he make a conscious decision to change
just as i felt that i was in cloud 9
he shouted
'hey our bags'
i saw his bag floating on the water
OMG
i left my car key and towel just right on top of the bag
the sand got loose as the current was really strong, hence our stuff were being washed down to the river
we attempted to look for it but was in vain
but
i m surprised that i wasnt discouraged
on the other hand
i still think that it was a great conversation
a conversation that could transform a person
even if it cost my car key, i m willing to
apart then the fact that it wasnt the best decision to leave our stuff there
i also believe that it was a spiritual welfare
it was only when he decided to let his past go and live a new life
we got this unfortunate incident

I mark this day as a day of new beginning
all the past should be left behind
just like how i have left my key in the sea
how he has to live with a new phone
it was an unfortunate event
but my heart rejoice
as it is a new beginning for a soul
no longer live in the past

(i got the car towed from the beach to Eon service center and in order to do that i gotta break the back seat window)...but my heart still rejoice and it is still a starry night
