Life.

"Life, which is what we call it, Life that is how we say it…"

That part of us that we’ve never understood; often more than once, we confuse it with many things, I vividly remember instances in life when life meant eating, sleeping and playing. We eagerly waited for the chance to execute all these steps, never quite understanding what it stood for. And as I progress deep into the realms of real ‘Life’, I can’t help but smirk at how ignorant about the meaning of life I was.
The journey of life is a complex tapestry interwoven by a master craftsman whose skill is beyond the unimaginable capability ever seen. Life stands for many things, some we know, and some we don’t have the least inkling about. More than everything we’ve ever encountered, never questioning it, ever living it to the fullest. Many progress in what they are doing, some falter, some make it big in it. Life can best be described by the word ’game’. Why? Life is a game, we ask it for oranges, and it gives us mangoes. We plead for mangoes and it gives us oranges. Often times, we don’t see the meaning of what life presents us with, steps that life presents to us, are stepping footstools to greater achievements. Someone said, when one door of opportunity is closed, another is opened. It all depends with how we react to each and every opportunity life offers us. Giving up is at its best, the worst blow we can give back to these opportunities. Life is love and Love is life.

Learning the ropes.

A reset is something that hits you when you least expect it. Just like sickness, it knocks at your door at odd hours, bringing with it a period of great adjustments and shifts.  A bit of a background story, a couple of weeks ago, I was reading an anecdote by Norman Vincent Peale (the father of positive thinking) where the author posits that one should change their thoughts if they wish to change the world.  This got me thinking; all those instances where I have seen people on the streets or in restaurants in seemingly boisterous conversations and showing broad smiles unassumingly made me think that they might be living life happier than mine. I assumed that they were happier than me or even smarter than me. Instances are rife where we sit in our little apartments imagining what it would be like to be someone else.  That feeling that we often behold that everyone around you seems to be doing better than you, or the one where we feel that piles upon piles of decks are stack...

He Remembers.

By
He’d write you this letter, but he knows, the good ol’ days are gone. blame the vagaries of life. The bits that used to make your heart fluster; the butterflies in your stomach? This are words, poured into this piece, to remember a graceful person, to honor a time that made his world a place to relish. Truth be said, weathering this time is daunting and he got no idea how it is going to be. He’s held onto hope; he knows too well of it’s tingling taste in his mouth. He’s beheld countless nights of little to no sleep and unsettled sighs and heaves, oh the world that was! The song titled For You by John Denver bellows through the dark headphones tightly holding his sanity together, He can’t help but feel every second and minute pass by so slowly. That is a song he would be singing in the shower with an upbeat mood, relishing the gifts of life. It’s a heavy one this bit, He doesn’t know if his shoulders can hold onto the weight really. He is scared, not that the world’s turned colder...

The Psychology Of Color.

I came across this collection of colors and its psychological meaning and found great references that I can relate with.  " Mere color, unspoiled by meaning, and unallied with definite form, can speak to the soul in a thousand different ways. - Oscar Wilde .
