The boy saw a comet & suddenly his life had meaning. And when it went away he waited his entire life for it to come back to him. It was more than just a comet because of what it brought into his life. Direction, beauty, meaning. There were many who couldn'tunderstand, & sometimes he walked among them, but even in his darkest hours he knew in his heart that someday it would return to him & his world would be whole again, & his belief in God, & love, & art would be reawakened in his heart.
I like to believe that everyone of us has a comet. That comet doesn't have to come in the form of a lover. It could be a child, a hobby, music, a book or many books. You can have more than one comet. Depending on the stage of your life you find yourself in, you might even see two at the same time. That's a truly awesome experience. A world without comets would be a devastating place to live. We need them to protect us, at least slightly, from the harshness that is the world sometimes.
Right now, my comet is events management. Working at events, learning about events and experiencing events lights a little fire inside, like all good comets should.
