Moments of Impact
So – as I have done of late – I write in the late night hours – when work seems to be quiet…tonight finds me watching a movie I am sure many of you have seen – I tend to be behind the (times) a lot … what can I say?… but anyway – a recent conversation about a certain actor and this particular movie – finds me watching again … and yep it is indeed one of the you know “romantic “ ones :) …not that I haven’t watched romantic movies before… I have… but I watch them from a different perspective now…because well…yeah….well….you know…
So as I watch tonight – it’s “the vow” – and at the beginning he talks about “moments of impact” and how they affect our life….and as with most things these days…I understand that phrase and in the way with which Channing Tatum’s character uses it…
BECAUSE when I first saw the smile of the (one who holds my heart) – it was most definitely a moment of impact…I was absolutely mesmerized…and it would not have mattered if a train was headed toward me full steam ahead and ready to hit me head on…I would not have been able to move – for that smile held me…and still does…so the freight train of her smile did hit me… (and) I thank God it did.
So, yeah…I get it “moments of Impact” … now as most of you know…the story goes something like this – they fall in love – car accident – she has memory loss – and he has the task of making her fall in love with him all over again…its sweet and tender and painful and triumphant…and each and every time he looks at her – you can see the love he has for her…and its like he is “stuck” for what to say or how to show her just exactly “how much” … and you know what…I “get that” too…because that is JUST exactly how I feel…because no matter what you say – how much you write – there are no words that can ever do justice to what is in your heart for this woman that you love – indeed cherish and adore – the sky is not blue enough – the stars not bright enough – the ocean not deep enough – not enough colors in the rainbow - but somehow you keep trying…because you can’t not try…because she deserves to know each and every day how you feel…so you reach for the piece of paper…and you write…the unfinished words…the unfinished song…you search for the perfect song …the picture… you search for to make her smile…the flower that needs to be picked… the little sculpture you find that you know she will love …in a shop 85 miles off the beaten path…and you smile all along the way…for the love that resides in your heart – and you are grateful each and every day for the love she bestows so graciously – and you marvel at how amazing she is – in every conceivable way – and you pray each and every day without fail – that God give you the courage and strength you need to love and care and protect such as this woman is that is such a gift to you – for surely she deserves no ordinary man – and you know – the only reason you are not ordinary is because… “she loves you” … it is her love within your heart that sets you apart – and that kind of love – deserves your complete attention – she deserves your complete attention – not sometimes – but (all) times…
So, you are thankful for those moments of impact…God knows I am…I thank him each and every day.
So – as happens most of the time – I ramble on and on – when really I could have said everything I wanted to say with a line or two (of someone else’s writing) or a song … so – to the one who holds my heart – I think Leo probably said it better than I could with this line here:
“I vow to fiercely love you in all your forms, now and forever. I promise to never forget that this is a once in a lifetime love.”
