DANCE LIKE A DIRVISH
With all these emotions running high when it comes to love, it’s a no wonder, they’ve decided to open P.S I LOVE YOU in theatres on Valentine’s day. So who is up for it???
As usual on a lazy Sunday, my vendetta to kill boredom left me furiously surfing the internet in search of things to do. I left the TV on just as an alternative while waiting for the pages to load. It was conveniently on STAR Movies and the movie features was ‘Meet Joe Black’. My only memory of this 1997 movie was Brad Pitt and the sensual love making scene he had with the leading actress. If I remembered clearly, this movie had a ‘special’ mention in the Friday prayers’s sermon, calling it absurd to have an angel of death fornicating with a human being. The Imam urged patrons to practice self censorship and to discourage young minds not to be too influenced by the media.
As I wait for that controversial scene to appear, I fell in love with one the dialogues the character had with his daughter...
“I want you to get swept away out there. I want you to levitate. I want you to sing with rapture and dance like a dirvish...Yeah be deliriously happy or at least leave yourself open to be. I know it's a cornball thing, but love is passion, obsession, someone you can't live without. I say, fall head over heels, find someone you can love like crazy and who'll love you the same way back. How do you find him? Well, you forget your head and you listen to your heart. The truth is, there's no sense living your life without this. To make the journey and not fall deeply in love, well, you haven't lived a life at all. But you have to try, because if you haven't tried, you haven't lived."
If only what he said was true. If only falling in love is like that. I want to dance like a dirvish. That is a like state of being one with GOD. Wow.
