We sat on the Earth, watching the moon shine brighter with each passing moment. A serene wind blew our troubles to a place untouchable to human beings.  Words were whispered into the night between us. Our eyes met briefly and, in that moment, I knew we would last forever.

I never understood how one moment in time could be ineffably pure - how a second in time could be emblazoned into someone's mind forever because of its flawlessness. I did not understand until yesterday, that is. It's funny the way insight never comes until one experiences that which is not understood. I suppose it's just the way this world works.

Every day that passes brings new experiences with it. I've come to realize that. I've also realized that if we wish to grow - to mature - then we have to embrace these new experiences.

I do not know what today will bring, but I know that if I desire to be a better person I have to learn from the experience.
