The Gift We Don’t Understand
Written by Miguel Santiago
“The Gift We Don’t Understand” is perplexing, draping over our lives like a gossamer sheet of enigma. It represents a constellation of beautiful chances, wonder-filled moments, and inexplicable miracles tied together in the strings of time and fate. It shrouds our existence with heartbreaking beauty and soul-stirring mystery.
In the quiet corner of our consciousness, where thoughts stream like hushed whispers, we often contemplate this unseen, unfathomable gift. Our hearts swell with the delicate sensitivity of understanding its depth, its boundaries pulsating with profound emotions, leaving us trembling under their visceral intensity.
We cry silent rivers, and their currents steeped in echos of joyous laughter and sorrowful sobs, their banks nurtured by the fertile tears of confusion, enlightenment, and profound revelation. These tears etch a course through the terrain of our existence – one marked by the splendour of love and the debris of heartbreak, the euphoria of success, and the sting of failure.
This gift left at the doorstep of our souls is one marked by piercing paradoxes – a passion ignited yet a fear kindled, a joy experienced yet grief endured, a victory celebrated, yet a defeat lamented. It enfolds within us a profound, sometimes frightening, understanding of our beautiful insignificance in the grand theatre of the universe.
