It was a sunny day, one that no one could ever see anywhere else in thе world. The cats on the street were gathered to have a talk on the latest news in the neighborhood. There was a smell of baked potatoes. Something more was triggering the hunger of all the people on the streets.
The trees were taking a bow to the surroundings. Notwithstandingly, some of them mocked the ridiculous trot of the people that were rushing sround. Others just casted a noble glance to those that never stopped their pace to the imaginary triumph.
Nothing was wrong or at least it did not seem so...
Some birds were roaming in the biggest garden of the neighbourhood. Different things were going to happen there. Noone expected that. It was the secret of the nature. The town dwellers knew that every summer a miracle was happening.
There was no need for them to search for the truth. They always admired the surprize and knew half of it. They didn’t expect that just a day with a beautiful sun could end up in a miracle.
However, things were meant to be different.
There was a girl in the garden. Her name was Lovie. She was a kind girl and with a different behaviour towards the world. Nothing common was able to impress her. Likewise nothing quite extraordinary could. She was outstanding in her incentives.
Most of the time she searched for the unique temper of the weather, the fairy desires of the trees and the touch of old books that she never left in the dust. She knew about the miracle everybody was discussing. Despite that, she tried to see the whole truth behind the talks of others. The half of it could satisfy only those who never opted to reach the sky. But not her. She knew that the other neighbours were so human-like and so commonly seen these days. She was completely good with it, either.
She knew everything was happening in a different way although it seemed familiar to the world. Something was hidden. Lovie knew there was always something deep in the roots of the fairy life in the big garden. Sometimes it was not so fairy that she expected to understand and see all of its nuances.
One day she was sitting in the garden and staring at the sky for a long, long time. The cats cuddled in her arms. Her books were sweetening the moments of exhilaration.
Suddenly, the silence started to talk to herself. She heard a strange sound. Something broke the silence for a second. Her heartbeat rushed. She never knew that feeling before. Her gut mixed completely with the senses for a wind coming through her whole self.
At first, she taught it was a misleading feeling because of being tired. She was reading a lot lately. That might be a good explanaition if she wasn’t scared inside. In fact something was going wrong. It wasn’t because of the reading of so many books. The things she heard and felt were real. Then once again, she decided to listen to the motion of her feelings.
The sky was full of light. The birds were flying. There was a ubiquitous passion in the nature around. The blue clouds were almost white. The books looked even more colourful.
Lovie cast a glance to the blue bear in the book she was reading earlier. That gave her a little strength. It was even more colorful than it was before. Now, she was powered by her truthful book companion in the face of the blue bear.
The journey of Lovie to the truths of the sky was going to begin. It was going to be mesmerizing.
The table was clean and tidy. Lovie remembered that her mother used to cover it with violet cloth. That is why, she went eagerly inside the house and brought one. Everything became as much the same, as it was different before. The changes were never easy to be seen but Lovie felt them instantly.
Lovie was sitting silent. Her whole body was warm. It was fear but it was sweetly warm inside. She felt the air going through her lungs and leaving some trembling for a moment. It was lively and energizing. She felt its power. There was a strange pressure in her hands. She wanted to feel them lighter but no efforts helped. The barrier was subconsciously epitomized. Despite that, deeep inside she knew nothing was necessary for a change in the strange feeling inside her. Only time.
Not only was the sun shining. There was something more.
Lovie’s hair touched her shoulders. That she did not even notice. Every breath and every depth of her belongings as well as the outer world were merged into one. It was all there in that special sunny day, nowhere to be found.
- Lovie, Lovie, do you see me? – asked the sky Lovie. – Do you feel the changes coming? You may love the way they appear in this wonderful garden but sometimes goodness is easily lost. You must prepare yourself for that. The light is not a measure for the power of the sun. Each tree or a bird in this garden, dear, knows its secrets better. - painted with its words the sky.
- Sky, is this really you that I dreamed of each night? - asked Lovie before she could answer anything. – Can you give me a sign that it is really you? I know that in my life the truthful things always give a sign. I do not expect you to be the best of everything expected. Best things are not even a piece of it all. I just want you to be real. Are you real, Sky? Tell me. - she begged the sky.
- Yes, of course I would tell you but wait. Patience is necessary to find the truths in life and the answers. Embrace it like a violet cloud and start flying in your dreams. - explained the sky to her.
- I would try, dear sky. I would hold my books and they would give me their patience. So, in the end I would succeed. My whole life they were there to help me solve my problems and stand up when I fall. The books were my salvation when the loneliness was my only way for happiness. - said Lovie.
- Good girl! In the end, you would feel as if you find yourself in the violet garden of your own reality. Nothing is only a dream, my dear. With the inner perceptions you have everything is possible. I promise! - urged her gently the sky.
- It sounds so delightful, dear sky. – added Lovie. – I thought that this clear attitude of the soul is present only in the books. I presumed it was only my mother that considered the violet dreamy surroundings as suitable for my wellbeing. It seemed I was naive to believe it earlier. Am I still the one little and naive girl, dear sky? - asked Lovie.
- Not exactly, dear Lovie. – faltered the Sky. - There is no division with such requitements in this garden, you already know that. Cats eat and you eat. The flowers blossom and your heart also blossoms with happiness. When the doors opens - you jump to meet someone or make a move. Sometimes even when you touch your book without intentions it opens on the page that will change your life. - stated the sky.
- But, Sky, I am a little girl. Sometimes, it is hard for me to disdain my friends to break the branches of the trees in our neighborhood. – explained silently Lovie. - You know, the trees also have their eyes and feelings. I always reiterate this and no one believes me. I am naive and stupid, I suppose. I just don’t want them to suffer, dear sky. - hesitantly said Lovie.
- Lovie, it is up to them how they see you. – the sky whispered reassuringly. - It is up to each of them and you can never change it. Each of your friends will see you differently no matter what you say to them. – added the sky. – Still, you have all the time in this world to prove them wrong and to show them how they could improve themselves by finding the truthful you. - concluded the sky.
- Dear sky, I always helped them show their true colour during every season. I helped them tolerate every change they experienced. – said hopefully Lovie. – In the spring, I used my own drawings to show them how how to mix colors for a difference. Then in the summer, I watered them in the hottest days. Autumns were the only season when I had a fairy mascarade and I always saved a dance for the leaves and the wind. I was touching their beauty, experiencing their feelings and remembering that forever. In the winter, I was never afraid to go directly to them, stay with my cold hands and admire their transformations. Why then, when I treated them right, do they mistreat me now, Sky? - sadly asked Lovie.
- Lovie, this is life. If every path you take is without any obstacles then you never find the perfect time or place. - added the sky.
- Yes, you must be right, dear sky. - answered Lovie, - I think that I can handle the secret a little more now. I definitely prefer if I would be surprised in the end. It may become easy for me to find myself the right explanation. – said Lovie and her eyes were full of light.
- Maybe yes, or maybe no. - said dubiously the sky. It is not something we can choose. Sometimes, as in this certain sunny day, I would want to know the answers of the questions I have. You might want the same, too. Do you, Lovie? – the sky stimulated her hesitation. - Listen. Are you scared of what might happen? Do you want to lose the present moment? Do you want to find a new one no matter what it might be? Can you be yourself no matter what all the trees are saying? - reluctantly asked the sky in an outburst of questions.
- Yes, Sky, I have always wanted to be brave in a situation that no one wanted to be in. I have always wanted to be in a place that was as different as familiar in the same time. I have always wanted to shout from happiness when my books change in my own hands in the same divine way they are changing me all the time – hopefully cried Lovie. – I have always wanted to help my friends who criticized me and accepted me as naive. They were all those cats that cuddled in my arms, the wind, the trees, the air and everything that everybody underestimated as not a primary source of life. For me it was. - said sweetly Lovie.
- You are a good girl, Lovie. You deserve your summer miracle. It is well deserved not only for you but also for your friends. You are all one. - whispered the sky. – You should know that when you follow the goodness in both your mind and actions eventually miracles happen. - the sky soothed her.
Suddenly, the voice that Lovie was hearing stopped. She looked around. There was nothing on the ground. Something went missing from her sight and heart. She felt that the need to feel and understand was no longer there. A change came to linger. She did not want to touch it with a bare heart. Not anymore.
She felt betrayed by the abrupt disapperance of the sky. It was not the inaction that hurt her. It was the lack of a single word. The cats were still there beside her. She threw the books on the table. She started to glare towards the trees. Once again she saw their mocking. Even the table was without a soul.
Lovie’s distrust was growing. The bigger it was getting, the greater the opened gap for her feelings was.
All of a sudden, the sun hid behind the mock of the trees. The cats cuddled under the table cloth. A heavy wind started to blow. Lovie knew it must be better if she could go inside. Unfortunately, she had no time to think so fast. She knew that the unexpected things usually happen for a moment but stay for a whole eternity.
A beautiful raindrop fell on her cheek. It was followed by the grace and power of the clouds. It was a raindrop with the so long awaited secret of the sky.
The ground became wet. The trees mocked at her no more. They were happy and alive. Lovie’s cats danced in the garden. As strangely as it may seem they enjoyed it. At least it was a dance in the hot weather, a summer dance.
The miracle came.
Lovie’s breath stopped for a second. Her distrust faded away. She touched the rain with her inner happiness. There was nothing to worry about. Her heart was right to trust the sky.
She looked around with a sunlight in her eyes. She noticed that the books and the table cloth were all wet. Though, serenity didn’t leave her. She wasn’t a naive girl anymore.
She felt that it was the most beautiful silence in the rain. It was one of a kind in a tousand lifetime rains.
Deep in her heart, Lovie saw that it was worth to hear the most meaningful voice in order to observe the real silence. Finally, she understood the noise of her inner world.
Lovie was a girl that believed in herself no matter what her friends were saying. Everything in the big garden in that sunny day was flourishing. Everybody was happy to be as different as she was.
- Sky, it is really you that I dreamed of each night. - said Lovie with her eyes entrenched into the sky and sighed with a deep gratitude for a lifetime ahead.
