A look into our future...

 

Fate

Who could truly understand the mystery of Fate?

 Once upon a time, two lifelines were destined to intertwine, following a brief initial encounter years earlier. At that time, unaware of the profound union that awaited us, I felt a subtle premonition amidst life's myriad coincidences. Although we were no longer on distant continents but in neighboring European cities, we remained two souls lost among millions.

 Our first meeting, lasting less than an hour, left me with an unshakable belief in an eternal connection. Yet, due to various reasons at that time, it seemed nothing more than an impossible dream.

 As years passed, the hope of seeing her again lingered like a distant mirage—without an address, a phone number, or any hint of her whereabouts. Against all odds, fate miraculously orchestrated our second meeting in a sea of faces.

 This time, free from the constraints that once held us back, the same intense feeling reignited. It was a gradual, almost incredulous realization that she was indeed 'the one.' After hours of daily conversations, I symbolically—and then literally—carried her over the threshold, embracing the certainty that we were destined to be together. The concept of marriage had already entered our conversations even before our first kiss, symbolizing a love that preceded the act of falling in love.

 A few weeks later, on Christmas Eve, surrounded by family and friends, we officially began our relationship, acknowledging our fate that had been written in the stars. Who could truly understand the mystery of Fate?

 Love is the light, the beacon to the world: it finds what seemed lost, crowns what has found its way.

 Love lives as 'We' but starts as 'You,' embraces 'Us' and cherishes the unique in all. It heals where all else failed, and adds magic to achievements.

 Love gives selflessly, creating a haven of emotional safety. It's not about being, but an endless becoming; not about having, but endlessly fulfilling.

 Love mirrors and elevates both life and death.

 Love is the light in darkness, both the path and the purpose of our journey.

 Am I, in a whimsical sense, an extraterrestrial myself? :-)

 

Well, look who I ran into, crowed Coincidence. - Please, flirted Fate, this was meant to be.

 While Coincidence and Fate argue, Destiny decides.

 

Coincidence is God's way of remaining anonymous.
