Today I watched Diary of a mad black woman, for the upteenth time. Love it.. In his movies karma and forgiveness play a big part and this one is no exception.
For some reason today it was even more meaningful than anytime before.
If I ever loved you, I will love you always. I mean what I say and it’s been a hard pill to swallow that others don’t.
Missing something inside but, knowing that God has this, is everything. The rapture of being alive.
The legend is of course one of love. The love story of two young Aztecs, Xóchitl and Huitzilin.
Starts from when they are little children. They spent all their spare time together playing. As they grew older they hiked to the top a close by mountain. There they would offer flowers to the sun god Tonatiuh. Here they swore to each other that their love would lastforever.
War broke out and Huitzilin was killed. When Xóchitl found out, she felt as if her world was falling apart. She took one last hike to the top of their mountain and asked the sun god to somehow join her to her love.
A ray of sunlight gently touched her cheek. Turning her into a beautiful fiery flower. A cempasuchil. (Marigold) just then a hummingbird gently touched the center of the flower. The hummingbird being Huitzilin. The flower opened its petals and filled the air with it’s beautiful and mysterious scent. They will always be together. At least as long as there are marigolds and hummingbirds.
So someone close to me had read about this legend and says, it’s so Mexican to love someone even in death. We are so dark… lol
However love is love and sometimes we’ve really no choice in the matter. The heart wants what the soul determines is a match. Tread lightly in making someone care for you.. they only need their one..
It’s a beautiful thing how music can take you to a place inside. Music… the only thing that doesn’t let you down..
This one takes me back to walks in the beautiful city of Hollister CA. My gut telling me what I already knew. Listening to it brings it all back. That gut knows!
This song was in my head as I woke up this beautiful morning… must be a reason…
And I’m not gonna lie Say I’ve been alright ‘Cause it feels like I’ve been living upside downWhat can I say? I’m survivin’ Crawling out these sheets to see another day
I’m gonna be fine I’m gonna be fine I think I’ll be fine
