Random Stirrings of The Mind.

This hit lower than most, but oh well. It comes at a time when snowdrops regal the cold winter weather outside. Stepping out calls for a hot mug of anything warm; from boiled wine to scouring out for heated-musty ruin pubs full of glazed-eyed partygoers swinging to the tune of anything that thaws out the bone. The day has ended, everyone is in a festive mood, hallways are empty and shops did close early. All he sees are heavily draped silhouettes of hunched people walking briskly to wherever their needs are. Like life, this day is a reflection of itself; an epilogue summarily drafted upon the mercies of the heavens. We wake, we walk, and we rest; like commas that interrupt words, a chance to catch a breath, we trip, we fall. others rise and dust off the worries. Some don't make it; full stops those ones. Bad news does sip into the constantness of life occasionally, and amidst those storms, we break, heal and wear scars like the kings and queens that we are. Some fights we choose to...

We all have seen pieces of us in other people's eyes. Little twinkles of shinny good and random excerpts of telltale ills. Words amount to many weights, but those unsaid carry the most of truths.  Many say,  "I wish".. at so late an hour when the sardines have turned gray and the sundial pattering its last speck of dust. I am awed by the world, I am enthralled by the beauty of the soul.  There is ominous waiting in silence, and darkness in all birthing...  But then, once in a while...  Just sit there right this minute, Indulge, don't flex a muscle, Rest, release, and breath in the goodness of life, For your little chance to see life as a whole, After all the hard work, Let me get you a tray of berries and wine, You can use my soft words, As a cushion for your head.  Live like a river,  Flow and get carried by surprise, Of the unfolding tides. The wellspring of life is bubbling us anew every moment. And so, when the angel is troubling the wa...

A river to a valley, An ocean to stone, endless ripples of unknowns. The time it takes the edges to become well worn, I’ve never been more certain, That all this time and softened lines, one day we will be better than before, Sailing through the seasons with every setting sun, Breathing in the feeling like we’ve just begun, Feels like we’re flying but it’s steady ground, In all the chaos and the quiet, you’re my safe and sound, Storm's abound. Never loose your way, The little speck that shines light to your path, For the bits of everything, hinges on thine steps. If the rest of the worldly eyes would see the bits and pieces of his steps and sojourns in his stead, all will be clear in time.  Memoir #13

Anytime Songi Songi by Maud Elka feat Hiro belts on his headset, a distinct waft of memory crawls to mind. Two souls, blessed beyond words; immaculate voices, crafty fingers that weave the most sumptuous of feasts. Relishes imbued with age-old love, akin to the great adages of the sages.  I'll trade my time, at any chance to behold such memory, even if it's a flicker.  But then, mystery surrounds one. A gentle spirit, an evocative voice, and for those who see beyond veils: a motherly gem. Grace shines beyond what the eye can see, good finds good for sure.  No words can fully drape the window that his eyes see through; descriptive essence, one that contains top notes of pink pepper, an after-fragrance of citrus accord and vetiver laced with heart notes of grapefruit, well aged dry cedar and labdanum. If his heart remembers right, it feels like a dry down of scents containing Frankincense, ginger and sandalwood.  Free spirit, up-tight and conservative at he...

A fortnight now, perhaps the least of expected steps he's ever taken; means a ton to him. A reset. He'd watch the skies for a sign, he saw the sparrows skim beneath the hot summer breeze; unrelenting heat waves bearing down on forlorn pieces shattered by man and time.  Today is that day he decided to take stock; not of the time, but of the weight that it imbues. His shoulders set straight, a vast sea of unknowns lies before him, it's a familiar but far off feeling.. Everything is working like a cog, familiar feels. Takes the mind of the edge. He has a permanent recollection of what the past has done to him; he's learned that, acceptance comes from within.. the bit where one is left on their own, to fend for themselves albeit with a watchful eye hovering above every step he makes.  He believes, he yawns... Time's not been kind.  Unsettled but definitely at peace. What was spoken in ages gone by, so be it. Acceptance.  Finding joy, finding peace, gaining p...

The shortness of life itself can be compared to a tiny spot in time. We are all guilty of getting caught up in sweating the small stuff. Worrying, compensating, complaining, gossiping, comparing, wishing, and waiting for something bigger and better to happen instead of focusing on all the simple blessings that surround us everyday Life is so fragile and all it takes is a single moment, one that changes everything you take for granted. Focus on what is important and be grateful. You are blessed and it is necessary that you believe it. Live your life without any regrets.  Every single day is different. some days you wake up and have enough strength to face the world and all that it has to offer, with a feeling that you can handle anything that is thrown at you; an unstoppable force. Other days it's so hard to get out of bed, and you feel like a fragile piece of glass, and all you want to do is escape reality. And that is life. Life is made up of both kinds of days. The uphill ones an...

Every instance has a beginning and to some extent an end. A seed is planted, it takes root, sprouts, blooms, gives forth fruit or seed then withers away having touched the world as we know it, even if it's for a second. This can be said about us as human beings. At the end of the day, it is crucial to be proud of who we have become, even if it's for the tiniest bit. Be proud of the love you gave, of the way you risked your heart despite the pain it had been through. Be proud of the effort you show those you care about and love. Show up with a ruthless certainty that you did all you could.  That you showed up and made people feel seen, that you made those around you feel a little bit less alone, that you eased their burdens just a little bit. Be proud of your life, the way you healed, of the way you learned from mistakes even when it wasn't comfortable. The way you push yourself to be a better person.  At the end of the day, the most important thing is being able to say with...
