My new joy is to find a moment to get more closer to my true core.
In order to do so, I have to touch so many hearts....
I started reading Chief Seattle's letter... "How can you buy or sell the sky? The land? ...if we do not own the freshness of the air and the sparkle of the water, how can you sell them?" and feeling my heart beating faster.
I started thinking of the moment when Beethoven played "Ode to Joy" for the first time in public yet he could not hear the overwhelming applause and remembering that we can make impossible possible.
I started playing the piano again and touching the heart of Bach every day even if it can be only ten minutes.
Then, I thought, if I can touch those amazing hearts, what else do I want more?
If I can touch those hearts, I don't want anything.
Maybe my life is already complete because I am touching and feeling those hearts and crying...
This is my true core and true love.
And I can fall in love again. Seriously.
