Embers

Fire inside.  
The burn is real. 
It's like passion. 
It's about unsatisfaction. 
Inner voice is left unexpressed. 
Left in a box with a tight lid
Waiting to get out and to be heard. 
Do I quench the zeal? 
Bring down the fire with water?
Or let it ignite until gold pours out? 
Embers 
Fire inside. 
Burn is real.

the little nothings

We have a tendency to forget about random moments , quirky incidents , unanticipated encounters with strangers that make us smile. All we have to do it, remember, recall and relive those joyful moments once again.  a baby's chuckle, a good workout  session, grandpa's dance at a wedding, piping hot  coffee on a rainy day, puppy following you on a street, a phone call from a long lost friend,  an impromptu family dinner,  bud on a plant, satisfying siesta at noon, a hug from a relative  , massage from mommy, a compliment from a stranger at a store, your favorite song playing on loop in an auto, souvenirs from childhood, a lazy Sunday in pyjamas-binge watching ... We wait for the big"occasions" to make our lives perfect, and sadly forget that the little nothings are significant not trivial, more than we give credit for. The little nothings.

Shoes

Not all shoes fit us well. Few bite . Few don't.  You will learn - that not all the shoes fit us well. That not all cities were meant to be your home. It was just a temporary abode for you. That people come and go. That there  are rough terrains , rocky hills, sharp turns on the road.  It is for you and me to assess how to tread .  You will learn that not every broken vase can be put back together.  Not every meal is scrumptious.  From the people you have met, mountains you have been to , music you have heard, story sessions you have been to, you have created good stories and not so good ones. The crux is to brew the not so permanent tales. Not all shoes fit us well.
