I listen to a CD in my car...almost daily...I don't understand the words but I sing my southeast TX version of a beautiful French lyric. I know I am probably saying something very seedy and totally inappropriate in my version because I am not pronouncing it right...but I don't care! My prayer is that there are no french speaking friends within ear shot! I listen and try to sing because it takes me away...away from the noise of the road and frustration of the traffic...it takes me deep within my dreams carried by my fantasies of France and Italy and all the beauties Europe has to offer. I'm sure some of my fantasies include a handsome, strong Italian man singing back to me...no doubt induced by my overabundance of watching musicals when I was young!
I like things that reach into my soul and transport it unto another time and place. I don't want people to talk to me while I'm at a movie or the theater and secretly living in this pretend world...it's irritating because it brings me back to reality...my reality! I am such a hopeless romantic...not only about the opposite sex but about life in general. I search for the beauty in a situation and believe fully in that picture. It's not that my reality is bad by any means...it's just so much prettier through rose colored glasses.
What happens to a hopeless romantic when they start to loss hope...the worst thing!...they become a realist! haha! Seriously...I understand we have to be "real" about somethings but with the world we live in today it's pretty depressing to become a realist. I like to think my little version of being a spiritual person means that you believe in a higher power and therefore you no longer need to be a "realist" but you can be an optimist...or...the way I like to see it...a romantic!
I think it's so romantic the way God made the earth and all the beauties within for me! He even turned water into wine for me...one of my personal favorites! ;) I think it's romantic that there is even a language that sounds like French and Italian sound! The birds and the trees and the melodies! He is such a hopeless romantic for me! That's why I believe in the romance of this world...in the hope of it all.
