Loaned In Kisses
A loan often hides a heavy burden. You’ll remember every morning
you wake up. So said someone. How wise.
And I thought of a loan with a credit card, a bank loan,
IMF loan. It should be reminded of its due-date.
But were a loan enjoyable, - loaned in kisses, or a fine in
kisses - as is a beautiful command or a beautiful lie, you would wake up every
morning happily thinking of it. I almost can’t wait and want to be paid earlier
or cash. So said Opa Johan.
Obliging someone ”hutang budi” a debt, we
say, for a goodness, kindness is also a covered
loan, except you can’t repay it as the presents Sint Nicholas brought you
because he is someone anonymous. That’s beautiful, wise also.
But there’s more to a kiss.
Receiving, hearing, seeing, reading, something really good,
beautiful, stirring, unforgettable, is as receiving a kiss in your soul which
only can be repaid, yet, though, not a loan, with a kiss in gratitude. You never
can repay it with loads of money.
