Bridge of Time by Missy (Volume 2) - Presented by SAGE (the giving tree read aloud .TXT) 📗

the years of my life. I found myself asking “How many stories am I?” Indeed inspired me to write this material to share with all theBridgeofTimereaders. To a very dear friend inPort Elizabeth,Eastern Cape. South Africa, thank you for the asking the question, you made me reflect on my own life, you made me remember all the years of my life, people, events who are and has been a part of it in creating my very own life’s pages, you made me think of everyone whom I shared my life with, who touched my life profoundly in creating every chapters of my very own existence, in creating my very own book of life for someday I know, when I’m old and gray… I will always look back fondly for all the beautiful memories and for the not so beautiful ones which helped me a great deal in learning a lesson in life, in finding the wisdom in a learning process we call Life.


Ever find yourself reading a book and as you turn the pages thoughts comes in your mind? Perhaps a story that you can relate to? Something you tell yourself “this happened to me” or “Jeez, as if the Author writes something about me” ever find yourself relating to someone’s situation? Ever wonder… If you were to write a book, what would you write about? Funny as it seems, but at some point in someone’s life, I’m sure one has wondered if they were to write a book, they’d write something about themselves, things they can relate with, perhaps about love. About heart breaks? About life’s struggles, about events in their lives or someone they know. In our daily routine and busy life schedule, we tend to not realize everything we do, everyone we share our lives with, every situations in life in general or love, every person we are in contact with, every person we share our lives with, everyone whom we opened our hearts with and welcomed in our lives…. IS A CHAPTER OF OUR VERY OWN LIFE’S PAGES…. They all tell a story waiting to unfold, our moments, memories we share with these people are a story of its own. Every human beings we are in contact with, who shares their lives with us, whom we share our lives with.. ARE PAGES OF OUR BOOK OF LIFE, OUR VERY OWN LIFE AND WE ARE A CHAPTER OF THEIR LIVES AS WELL… Every moments no matter how insignificant it may seem creates memories and these memories of things, people and events in our lives are like pages of every book waiting to be written, waiting to be publish as one would say… And someday, at one point in our lives… They come to life over and over again like a published book being read over and over again …. With the exemption that these pages are in our hearts, in our thoughts and we look back and re-read tose pages again and again….. IN OUR OWN MIND, IN OUR OWN THOUGHTS..IN OUR OWN MEMORY.


So tonight I wonder if you were to write a book of your own with the title “LIFE’S PAGES” what you would write. What you think of? If you were to write on a journal or diary or even in your own computer’s word pad something about your life, events in your life, which would you, start writing about? What would you start writing about? If someday, you were to look back in your life as if you are reading a book, what would you see? What would you read? Who would you remember? I know it may sound odd, some may even say “what??? I don’t understand it at all Missy” ) I’d like to end this writing material tonight with what I had posted few days ago … YOU ARE THE AUTHOR OF YOUR LIFE, YOU ARE THE WRITER OF YOUR LIFE’S PAGES, OF EACH AND EVERY CHAPTER OF YOUR LIFE, YOU ARE THE EDITOR OF YOUR PAST, YOU CAN EDIT YOUR PAST TO MAKE SURE THINGS YOU ARE NOT FOND OF OR HAD CAUSED YOU PAIN AND HURT BEFORE DOES NOT HAPPEN AGAIN IN YOUR PRESENT NOR THAT IT WILL MPACT YOUR FUTURE. THE BEST STORY EVER EXISTED IS THE ONE YOU CREATE … THE BOOK YOU CALL “MY LIFE AND HOW I CHOSE IT TO BE….” And someday when you are old and gray, you will look back and tell yourself you have created a Masterpiece.. You lived your life the way YOU needed it to, the way YOU chose it to be and most importantly….. I wish someday when you look back at your own life you will have that someone so dear to you… Sitting next to you holding your hands, remembering your life with you and being able to whisper in your ear “My dear you have created a Masterpiece of your own Book of Life, your own Life’s Pages, chapters of your years… And I am forever grateful for I am the one you chose to share it with” Wouldn’t that be nice? To reflect on your own life someday and feel the sense of Completeness.


THE RIGHT ONE AT A WRONG TIME (By Missy)

“You know I love you right?” He said to her once, her first response was “How many beers did you have tonight?” She couldn’t believe what she heard over the phone, it was in the middle of the night she was laying in bed when the phone rung. “I always love you, you always have that special place in my heart” He continued.. She wasn’t sure if he was kidding or perhaps had a few drinks. She was in awe yet held herself together.. “Okay” she said …”Why don’t you sleep it off then call me later when you’re sober or thinking straight, how’s that sound?” His voice remained calm and soft.. She could almost feel the sincerity in his tone. “You don’t believe me do you? Why do you think I’ve always been around for you through the years? Why do you think no matter where I go or travel, I always kept in touch with you, always touching base with you. Why do you think I’m always drawn to you and I know you are too” He uttered over the phone. There was a total silence between them on the telephone line.. She didn’t know what to say. Her heart almost melts, all the years came flashing though her mind… Everything, every moments, every memories played like a movie right in front of her.. The she took a deep breathe and said … “All those years… You didn’t said anything.. ” He cut her off and replied ” I know you love me too, all those years you were always there for me, in all my times of trouble I ran to you and you always have an open arms for me, in all my times of confusions you always brought clarity in me. When ever I needed you … You never fail me” …Then again… a total silence between them.. Nothing on the line but the sound of their breathing… “You’re shredding me into pieces … You can’t do this to me, you know I have someone. You know I am with someone” her voice is breaking on the phone. “I know.. and I understand” He interrupted her with gentle voice … “But I just wanted to let you know how I feel” He said .. Before she hung up the phone she told him.. ” At some point in someone’s life, the Right One comes along at a Wrong Time… I love you too, I’ve always loved you. But I am with someone now and what’s between us, I will leave to Fate.. If it’s real love, if it’s meant to be.. Fate will find a way… But until then… It’s only fair to give that someone in my life… in your life… a chance to love us and be loved by us… It is the right thing to do and I would rather be able to sleep at night knowing somewhere out there, there is You.. Who loves me and Here is me, who loves you too … But it’s not a reason enough to hurt other people who were there for us when we were looking for someone to love us and be there for us…” She wasn’t sure of his response over the phone, but in his soft and gentle voice he told “That’s one of the very reason why I love you … I love your Heart, I love your Mind and I will always be around as I know you will too”


Sometimes it’s disheartening to see or read things like that story happens to real people, sometimes I myself wonder why fate puts us on a test, puts our hearts on a test. At some point in someone’s life that Right someone comes along at a very Wrong time they always come along when we least expect them to be, bringing so much confusions at times dividing our Heart’s in Two, at times it cause others heart breaks and confusions, doubts on how much we love them when there is someone else our heart beats for as well, But I guess, this things happens in our lives for us to know others do love us unconditionally, that they are willing to be there for us no matter how long it takes, allowing us to live our lives, to love the ones we’ve already given our hearts to BEFORE they came along or Spoke of their emotions and affections towards us. One can always love so many but can only be in love with someone. At times this things happens to teach us Wisdom.. to question ourselves… Do we stay with the Ones we love? or do we chose to be with the Ones who love us? Do we stay with the one we love or do we run to the one who is in love with us? Do we chose to stay with the one we are in love with or do we run to the one who loves us?


Ahhhh!!! the Heart and its many wonders! Perhaps this things happens to teach us to grow, to weigh things in our lives.. to sort our lives, to assess our current situations, are we truly happy? are we truly complete? is our Heart at Home with that someone we are with? Is what we have now or who we are with.. The person we NEED? Do they NEED us the same? Perhaps this thing happens for us to figure out for ourselves… Do we go for something we want? Or something we need? I truly believe “personally” that “The Higher Power, Our Creator … Answers our prayers not because it is what we want… But because He knows it is what we Need.. ” To all the Bridge of Time readers who may find themselves in that situation or phases in their lives, to all the readers who finds themselves being able to relate or is experiencing the same situations as the story I just wrote … “May you weigh your Hearts carefully with compassion towards other people who are in your lives now, If you find yourself wondering what to do, who to chose.. May you not rush in finding the answers and leave it all to Fate and seek Guidance from the Higher Power above as He is the only one who truly knows what your Heart needs and May you put ask yourself what if it was the other way around? What if that someone you have in your life now is going through the same as the story I just wrote.. How would you want them to face their Heart’s Dilemma? And may you always walk a mile in someone’s shoes before
