All that you are
is an addition,
a simple bonus
that’s nowhere
near simple.

Outlook
Good Night
Who are you to know
the insides of me?
Why should you see
the thoughts that filter through?
You’re nothing but
a passing moment.
Already prepared
with a goodbye speech,
how the night was fun,
but now the sun has risen.
Essence
To the moon,
to the stars,
to the sun,
to the earth.
We feel, we fight.
We love, we hurt.
We heal, we learn.
We make a mark,
unique to the soul.
Blessing those we touch,
with our laughter and our life.
Rising with our hopes,
falling with our demons,
believing with our faith,
embracing all we can.
With laughter, with smiles,
we say goodbye,
with memories made well,
and legacies that live on.
To the moon,
to the stars,
to the sun,
to the earth.
Alive
With the dawn, we rise.
But it is with the night
that we come alive.
Our true self realised
with dreams fast escaping,
seeping into reality,
becoming just a memory,
faster than we are ready.
Body
A stranger, yet so familiar.
Unwanted, yet encouraged.
A change, not thought forward.
A curve, placed uninterrupted.
A reflection, so slightly altered.
Robert M. Pirsig – Zen and the Art of Motorcyle Maintenance
“This is the source of the trouble. Persons tend to think and feel exclusively in one mode or the other and in doing so tend to misunderstand and underestimate what the other mode is all about. But no one is willing to give up the truth as he sees it, and as far as I know, no one now living has any real reconciliation of these truths or modes. There is no point at which these visions of reality are unified.”
A belated Happy New Year
Happy New Year! Make it count.
Here’s Neil Gaiman to say it better than I ever could,
“I hope that in this year to come, you make mistakes. Because if you are making mistakes, then you are making new things, trying new things, learning, living, pushing yourself, changing yourself, changing your world. You’re doing things you’ve never done before, and more importantly, you’re Doing Something.”
I’m also hoping to finally finish his book, American Gods, this year, which has been gathering dust on the bookshelf for far too long.
Have a magical 2017.
