Queen of Dreams
October 22, 2007
I wonder if God is showing me His unique sense of humour. In my imaginary face-to-face conversations with Him, I often say "Di kita ma-gets at di ko masakyan ang pang-aasar mo… buti na lang di ako pikon."
You see, in recent months, I feel like asking the universe (okay, okay… in fact, i did ask the universe) "why can my friends get to live my dreams, and i can't? Eh, ako kaya ang humihingi nun? hindi sila…" hahaha! funny no?
So, if something beautiful happens to my dear friends, i kiddingly tell them: "Hey, you are living my dream!" and they would tell me: "Sweetie, your time will come." And we laugh. Hay naku, Patience wouldn't be a virtue for nothing. I think this is what the universe is trying to teach me…
I just recently finished reading the book "The Queen of Dreams" by noted Indian novelist Chitra Divakaruni. There was a paragraph in the book that caught my attention, coz it captured perfectly how I feel at the moment.
The line goes: "Watching them, I feel at once happy and lonely. It's not the loneliness of being without a mate, but something more primal. As though I were the only one being left on this side of the glass, while the rest of the world– happy, uncaring– lived out its life in the other side. They were aware of my presence, they even waved to me from time to time, as Belle was doing, but they didn't know how it felt to be looking in, waving back, unable to cross over…" (p. 182 )
