Blessed

Have you ever felt like there was no other vision but the one before your eyes? As if the whole world and its wonders- Great Wall Of China, Egypt's pyramids, Mount Rushmoore- didn't matter... at all. And if you could just hold this moment in your mind's eye for the rest of your life, you would be happy. More than happy. Complete. 1

This is what it's like, standing in the midst of a crappy crowd of people in a crappy high school. My crappy hair sticking out in all directions in two messy pigtails. The crappy heat of crappy summer and all its crappy-ness overwhelming me when it hits me. Just a little to the left and I see it all in one glance and I wonder if just maybe he saw it too. I say the only thing that can come to mind:2

"Tara, how come all your friends have amazing hair?"3

Yeah, it's lame, but it's definitely flirtatious. Am I trying to be flirtatious? I mean, Jesus Christ, I've only met this guy just now. I don't even know his name! He probably has a girlfriend. Oh, no doubt about that. Perfection like this can't go to waste...4

Imagine if you will, the faint, blueish green horizon of the sky on a clear summer day. Beautiful, is it not? Now, imagine this all pooled in two perfect irises of two perfect eyes owned by this handsome stranger who stands before you. What do you do next?
