the car breaks down

It was more than just a comet because of what it brought to his life-- direction, beauty, meaning. There were many who couldn't understand, and sometimes he walked among them. But even in his darkest hours, he knew in his heart that someday it would return to him, and his world will be whole again. And his belief in God, and love and art would be reawakened in his heart. -- One Tree Hill

but what if the comet does not come back soon? how long should he wait? a year? a decade? a lifetime? because comets, when they come, they're only visible for seconds, and after that, they're gone. and all he's left with is the memory of witnessing the best thing that the sky could show him. should he live by his memory then? or is he bound to settle for the moon? he looks up during his dark moments, and he sees it shining down at him. and even as it goes unnoticed when the sun is up, it's still there.

yes, it's less captivating than a comet, but it'll always be there.

will Lucas settle for the moon then? we'll see.
