Slumped

I am tired. Came home and the door shut with a bang (unintentionally). Threw my bag on the couch and the jacket on the chair and just slumped on the couch. 'I am tired', I said to myself. So tired of fighting and of wilfully facing every problem.
Nevertheless things don't end and thus must this human body and spirit keep life intact.
Here's to every breath I take!
Amen.

Spirals

A mobius strip is indeed an interesting thing. You know not what side is up and which one is not.As a kid I always enjoyed playing in the sun, dancing with the trees, hiding never to be found and hearing things not meant to be, but as an adult, I guess like most others who would agree with me, we get trapped. Trapped in the shoulds and should nots and the musts and the must haves.
Not a very happy proposition this caged life but somehow as adults we all enjoy it relish it or even rather devour it. What is it that binds us to this phenomenon. This rules fetish. This grid of " I want to do something but I cannot because."

But for the last few days me and a couple of others just overarched this grid. Knowing no boundaries to fun and frolic we decided to do just this one time what our heart led us to do.

It said, "smile , laugh, enjoy ,don't think."

It said "hear, listen, empathize, don't judge."

It said, "don't fret, just be!"

sometimes

Sometimes you got to look beyond the horizon,
you got to look into the deep reds and orange of the sky
sometimes you got to hear what the tiny bird says
or hear the leaves rustle as a gust of wind goes by

When you don't have time to do all this
or the will to philosophize,
Gimme a holler and i will thee oblige..
Sheer nonsense is my expertize and talking a favorite pasttime
i can regel about birds and bees and crop the world miseries at ease

So here's to you my dear reader, whoever you are, ....
HAVE A WONDERFUL DAY!!!!!!

Today's Carry Overs

I took the usual bus to campus and was expecting a scene on the bus. Quite evidently a man was trying to pursue a woman's attention. Perhaps a lover more likely that he was just a nobody trying to try his hand at making the woman agree to his pleas.
I was all geared up for combat incase the man tried to physically harrass the woman but my services were not needed. I was glad to be a part of this episode (No i am not a sadist!)
I was happy to see the police showing up in a matter of two minutes as the bus driver radioed them and the man being unsuccessful in his attempt to terrify the woman with his histrionics.

I had to run several errands so I was hurrying up in a jiffy.
It started pouring like crazy and I was stranded. Left with no other option except waiting for the thunder to die down and the drops to stop their merciless earth battery. On other occasions I am all for rain and storms. It is just amazing to feel the rain on bare skin and to smell the warm earth bathed in the slight spring fragrances.

Was finally able to get some stuff done that had long awaited attention. A big day lies ahead with my to do list running longer than the page itself I wonder how I will finish all I need to do. Skipped cake for a 25 years celebration of a bank employee, turned down a lunch invitation since I have so much work to do and of course gave up on my usual cup of coffee with a friend since I was tied in back to back meetings.

They would say we always have carry overs when the total is more than can fit in one unit. I wonder if my sacrifices will get carried over too and help me help myself.
