KISSING THE SKY
“The future can ever promise but one thing and one thing only: surprises.” ― Steven Erikson
Hello Everyone,
AN ETERNAL DANCE
Time passes through my consciousness like an uncontrollable storm, where my memories of yesterday and the fleeting moments of now mixed with the infinite possibilities of tomorrow, create the very foundation of who I am. My identity, along with the decisions I take and the whole understanding of my own existence are shape in a way, that it is difficult to grasp the concept of this eternal dance.
When I look at my past, I smile at all my accomplishments, but I also frown upon my shortcomings, hoping they won't get shorter. When I take a closer look at my present life, it energizes me and foreshadows, with impressive precision, what’s to come, that is, if I choose to imagine it.

NO, YES, MAYBE
But I also know that the future can be terribly uncertain, and that there is no way around to avoid life's struggles. That is why, moving forward, the past is almost always a rotund NO, the future is an energetic YES, but the present without fail is an insipid MAYBE.
Between possibility and uncertainty, the future remains my most enduring mystery. Yet, my relationship with this mysterious morrow profoundly shapes how I live life today. Unlike the memories of yesterday or the actions of the here and now, which both can be traceable, what lies ahead, only exists in my imagination.
The future arrives quietly, without any notice nor warning. It simply makes its appearance and suddenly becomes my present, and when I least expected it also becomes my past. Sometimes, I get what I was long expected, some other times there is only wreck havoc

KISSING THE SKY
At the end I get to choose the kind of future I want. I get to make decisions base on what things will be better for me, I'm in full control. I'd kiss the sky if I want to, and I would imagine a perfect life, nothing is out of place. I feel the luckiest person. And for a frail moment, I'd also think that I can live forever, why not? I foolishly reasoned, I've worked so hard to have a perfect future.
But there is a conflict between the future and the present. The future being colorful, unrestrained, untamed, and the present, well; wise, grounded and cautious. For instance, there's a desire inside me, propelling me into moving forward, always looking into the future. And when I do, I imagine myself and everybody around me happier, with a much more brighter outcome.
EXCELLENT INTRUDER
However, life always gets on the way and when I think all is going well, the well equip present tense is there, to remind me of life's vulnerabilities, and because the present tense has been proven to be an excellent intruder fighting always for attention, it reintroduces in my mind memories of a painful past, draining out of me valuable energy; even if it's a warning to be cautious.

The future; even though, I know it will end somehow and someday, I should await patiently until I succumb to the inevitable. The past is already gone and forever, and the present is fading in front of my own very eyes, even as I write this words. Isn't it fair to say then, that the future is what I can count on?
THE MYSTERY OF TIME
THE MYSTERY OF TIME
The music I am presenting today is a reflection of the nostalgia of the past, the happiness I can count in the present and the expectations of the future. All the colorful contradictions of time in one place. In the end, my memories had provided me with wisdom, the present moments with opportunities, and the future holds a promise, that may or not be fulfill.
My intend at the time of composing this piece was helping soothing my fear of the unknown by trying to unravel the mystery of time, at the same time, I was trying to make sense of it. The melody offers a friendly gentle sound of which, if it doesn't provide me with all the answers, at least I know, it'll be my comfort.
