sometimes i forget...

that i am a free
to choose...
to dream...
to imagine...
to create...
and to achieve anything i put my heart to!













so i choose to remember!

guarded hearts

what is it you protect
behind this fortress of yours
that despite the months
you have still been comfortably cautious

i am on one-brick-window-basis of your life
gradual releases of your choices and journeys
pushing out a brick enough to peer through
and then putting it back in

i reckon exhaustion is setting in
of having kept these walls, years counting
so come rest your hand on mine,
and allow me to balm your wounds

hush, dear thinker
draw near and lay your weary head
all is well, your baggage is safe on my watch















that is if you let me

our story to tell

now i know that I have an "emotional maturity dam"
its that "thing" that holds and controls my emotions
because of it the surges of anger or happiness can be...
uhmmm..."managed"

yesterday that dam cracked and control was shaky
but thankfully my dam was stronger than I thought
it was able to hold on with just a few spills here and there
otherwise it would have been a very bad situation for me

in times like this I do have to be grateful for something
if it wasn't for the circumstances, i wouldn't have had an "opportunity"
funny how i manage to put quotations in words that are more than what they seem
this is my dam in control - hehe

yes, yesterday i was given a peek into a beautiful mind
it was like taking a tour into a different universe
filled with supernovas, quasars and black hole
a journey of the past, present and the possible future

the drought of unrestricted natural conversations has ended
my thirst for enganging dialogues has been more than quenched
over a few rounds, sausage and a sansrival cake,
i was able to believe once again...

at the end of the day its not about how much "work" you have accomplished
but rather the relationships you have with people
the fulfilment that you have given something good in someone's life
and in turn add value to your existence

to "you" thank you...
for the time and the spontaneous exchanges of stories
in them I realized that we all have a story to tell
and in these tales we learn that our experiences are indeed the best teacher

a daily ritual

i am experiencing a new kind of dance.
because of it, the thirst for significance
and drama is quenched on a daily basis.
it gives me a longing to get up everyday
just to experience what the next episode is.
each day brings out new things,
the constant discovery of what we have in common.
it's cute in it's own cheezy way.
from therapy moments. to relationship set-up and today music.
i am looking forward to our conversations in the days to come.

maybe this is what I should learn,
to enjoy the daily revelations.
to be patient, and enjoy this ride.
spontaneous and unhurried.

so this prayer, Lord I say...
AMEN!
