"My life is brilliant." (You're beautiful by James Blunt)
He sings about a brilliant life. It got me thinking, that it really is.
Nature itself is brilliant. It provides us with fresh water and food; fruits, vegetables, honey and oil. It surrounds us with beautiful things; the sea, lakes, coral reefs, forests, mountains and meadows. It even puts lots off effort in small colourful details like flowers, birds, fish and butterflies.
It inspires us people. We produce: cuisine, music, dance, theatre, paintings, sculptures, jewelry, gardens and buildings (just to pick a few). We are brilliant, but only because life is.
"My life is brilliant.
My love is pure.
I saw an angel.
Of that I'm sure.
She smiled at me on the subway.
She was with another man.
But I won't lose no sleep on that,
'Cause I've got a plan.
You're beautiful. You're beautiful.
You're beautiful, it's true.
I saw your face in a crowded place,
And I don't know what to do,
'Cause I'll never be with you."
I'd like to compare this with an idea I have. What if it's not a girl he saw? Maybe it was life itself? He caught a glimpse of what life really is, through all the curtains and walls we brought up between ourself and the purest life. It came in the shape of a girl, who found peace in life. She was beautiful and it paralyzed him for a moment. He don't know what to do, how to get to live that life, pure and brilliant.
"And I don't think that I'll see her again,
But we shared a moment that will last till the end."
It hit him and he won't forget it. It will dwell in his chest, struggling, longing to get free. Maybe someday he'll find out how to let go.
Maybe when he'll just let life be brilliant, as it is suppose to be.
