Interlude

 

In my mind I see the ocean below me and the sky above.

The ocean feels like memories and days past. The calm seas of good times and the occasional stormy ones. They wash over me periodically, embrace me, then recede back to their own ever moving cycle. Leaving me a little changed each time.

The sky is filled with infinite possibilities, of endless dreams and a future unseen. It’s a clean slate of new ideas, of novel experiences and forever chances. It shows me how much more there can be if I just step into it. 

At the edge of these two beautiful worlds, lies a horizon, that is there and yet isn’t. As if it is made up of both the ocean & the sky and yet it is an entity of its own. 

I realise, this is me. I live in moments between nostalgia and fantasy. My life is but an interlude!

Gratitude

When the light is soft and a fragrant flower blooms,

When the breeze is gentle and the birds are singing,

When humans are silent.

Close your eyes. 

Reach out with your soul.

Take it all in and then give it back. 

Heal with every breath,

Absorb the peace,

And open your eyes with Gratitude!

Sigh..

The sun has vanished and the light is soft. A gentle breeze has picked up bringing the scent of wet earth with it. 

It isn’t raining yet but the promise of it fills the atmosphere. 

It makes me pause what I’m doing to look out of the window and take it all in, to experience it with all my senses! 

And just like that a sigh escapes my throat..
