Looking In The Same Direction

Love is a means by which you start to see things more clearly together, to reach compromises or to collaborate, and to make room for finding a way forward that includes others.

"Life has taught us that love does not consist in gazing at each other but in looking together in the same direction." ~ Antoine de Saint-Exupery

I was inspired to post the above quotes to reference the following messages of HJ and MM's at separate occasions. 

At HJ's recent interview during his Unlimited Tour in Japan, he said: 

It seems that I've been walking a long way, looking only direct?  From now on looking into the future, I'd like to walk slowly looking around me.  You, who believed in me when I had a hard time, extending your hands to me.  As long as you keep my hands, I will never let you go.  I will hold your hands.  I will walk slowly with you.

Then I remembered MM's message in Strong Heart, she said: 

These days, I am seeing the world in a different way.  A ray of sun is really pretty, a flower is pretty... all of these momentous feelings are very important.  Why was I just looking straight in front of me running without taking the time to appreciate these moments?

I believe their messages have the same connotation... perhaps both are implying that they are looking at their future together in the same direction?  ^-^

“If one advances confidently in the direction of one's dreams, and endeavors to live the life which one has imagined, one will meet with a success unexpected in common hours.”  -- Henry David Thoreau
