The angel

When I think about the beginning of my life, I often remember one day, when I was a little girl, merely a child, who had just begun to understand some of the basic things about life. I remember that for a long time that was one of the most confusing days of my life because of the wisdom that was passed on to me.

I remember being alone in my room, as I usually did, probably pretending to be a character in some amazing story, like the ones I used to create so that I could play alone.

Suddently I wasn't alone anymore, I knew it, even if I hadn't seen anyone there yet. After a while an angel like figure appeared in my sight. strangely I can't quite remember how it looked like but I can remember all the words that it said to me.

The creature knelt over one knee and told me to listen carefully to what he came to tell me, because everyone has its special rules to obey in life, and it was his job to visit every person in the Earth and teach each one their rules.

Amazed as I was, I wasn't able to reply, but I drank his works fully and I believe I wouldn't be able not to, even if I wanted to.

It taught me many rules wich I had to follow strictly. I didn't understand most of them at the time, and some I don't even understand now, but there is one that I understood soon after this incident, and that I remember constantly.

"Thou shall not use or understand fully the meaning of the world SIMPLE while living."

When all my rules had been laid down to me the creature disappeared as quickly and quietly as it had appeared.

I obeyed some of the rules all my life, but some, like this one, I tried not to, because I didn't understand the reason why it existed.

I still try to fight this rule daily, longing to understand what it means to do something in a simple way, longing for something to be simple in my life, but that never happens and I'm starting to believe that it will never will.
