“How we need another soul to cling to.” ― Sylvia Plath
It happened like this
One day when everyone was asleep
Under starry blanketed sky
And today was slowly becoming yesterday
We woke up

To the well-organized mind, death is but the next great adventure.”

Calm

Bridge
Ahead
If the path be beautiful, let us not ask where it leads.” ― Anatole France
Dear life,
It’s spring.
So often I consider winter the end point.
So often I forget that our path is not a straight line,
that we will meet again
at some point of the circle,
and look forward to this game of change. Continue reading “Ahead”
A strange place
My mom taught me forgiveness: smile more, smile heals hurting hearts. Push yourself more to forget. Then some more. Don’t think the unthinkables. Include everyone, even the ones who exclude your part. Give them what they want. Say yes often. Continue reading “A strange place”

Good people are blessings, but they are so aloof.

or in the presence of preachers and wordy liars. Continue reading “Forgive my disappearance”

like butter in warm summer. Continue reading “A Facebook Story ( Part II.)”
Right here..
“The faster we run, the more determined is the Universe to slow us down. The more embedded our methods of self-distraction, the more agitating the truth-aches calling us back to authenticity. The more eagerly we race to the sky, the more intense the lessons that bring us back to earth. The Universe has no interest in our flight from reality. It wants us right here. Nowhere else… but here.”
– Jeff Brown, Ascending With Both Feet on the Ground
