Life is Boundless

– I’m crying away my grief to come,– the girl replied when her sudden despair was over, and she was able to talk. Her voice was wavering, unfolding the emotions she tried to hide. – Every time I’m in a world of hardships I just cry, and it helps me.
– A grief to come? – The boy was all at sea – What’re you talking about?
She shivered as she was nestling by the campfire in order to get warm. She talked in a low voice, staring at fire, as if she was talking to herself.
– I wish life to be free of many things. Vicious dogs. A ball that speeds into face. Nails that are spread across a road… – For a moment she became silent, then she went on, – although I think that everything that happens, happens for good. Even if something bad happens – it will be good in the end.
– I asked you about that grief of yours. In our future life, – the boy asked stubbornly, with a gloomy look on his face.
– I know that there are blackholes among the stars. And it might happen that you… and our son… – Her voice was full of fear, when she finally said it, – will never be able to come back!
The boy laughed with ease as he began to realize what was going on.
– Until you wait for us on Earth, that will never happen! – He said ensure of his words.
– It depends neither on me nor on you. – She shook her head, staring to the fire and trying not to look at the boy’s face in order not to cry again, – my nanna says that one’s fate depends only on God which is to be found in one’s soul.
– What about you?
– Me? It seems that I haven’t found my God yet. I’m not a religious kind, but if I see the crucifix, I cross, – she answered pensively after a moment of silence.
She averted her gaze to meet the boy’s eyes as if she wanted her words to sound eloquently.
– One thing I know for sure. Even before the grief to come, hovering of it is going to break me. And one day no one will be there for you.
