A warm sunny day
A long winding path
A song on my lips
A bag on my back
I tread on… alone
Where to? What for?
For the journey has no end
No purpose, no goal…
The path is the destination
And the destination is the path
And so I tread on… and on… and…
As I walk along the twists and turns
I unearth, I explore, I ponder
Each moment a learning
Every lesson a blessing
Which in my bag I gather.
At the end of the day
I say a little prayer
For those who care
And touch my life in their own special way.
God bless!!
As the sun shines down on the wood
I gather my memoirs
And wrap them with as much love as I could
The path is the destination
And the destination is the path
And so I tread on… and on… and… ALONE.

Do we need to have dreams?
Dreams, desires, directions, priorities, fear of losing something while you urge something to achieve….
People, friends, colleagues, family...Their expectations and your wish list … a clash between them …you need to live for others and be true to their expectation or do what you feel right? after all everybody has justification …take the proven route ; do the things whole world is doing or take the least known path and be ready to face those questions and stares !!
Dreams, opportunities, hard work and still unsure of the destination…calamities and troubles when you expect least!! A sudden stop and everything looks uncertain...Feel like all the efforts will go for a toss and it does some times!! And then still cannot give up and start from scratch!!
Good times, bad times and testing times!! Every moment surpasses the previous one and you move ahead …still hope for best and thank god for what you got …
Sometimes I wonder do we need to have dreams. Or do what the whole crowd does!! Does it gives meaning to life and peace of mind at the end of it ? Don’t know !!
Yet it is mere surge of thoughts ; knitted into words …still the haze is there like the layer thick fog on the glass window pane ; making impossible to look beyond …waiting for sun rays to come and do the magic !! Yeah the wait could be long and tiring...but I have not given up still ….

Little moments, big magic...
Just a few hours, a few fries and a few hoops – you can help change your community.
Trust me!Become a Guardian angel.
Well how? Let me tell youIn our lives, each of us shared an important connection with someone who broadened our horizons and brought a little magic into our lives.
It was the person who taught you to throw that perfect spiral, or sat in the front row to cheer you on, even when it was embarrassing, gave you a warm hug when you were down, loved you the way you want them to love you and what not… These are the little moments that guardian angels experience every day.
There are people who really need encouragement, support, friendship, guidance and love. There are people who really don’t believe in themselves until they meet someone who believe in them.
We may not see the need to put our feelings into words like – ‘I love you very much and care about you’ .Its unwise to assume that your loved ones are secure in the knowledge that you love them.
People who make such assumptions are in the danger of being totally overwhelmed when in later years your loved ones tell you – “I never knew how much you loved me, you never told me.” Or even worse “I never felt loved”Your loved ones need to experience affection directly. They cannot guess at your motives – it’s too abstract a concept.
We can spread love starting with our words. Make a conscious attempt to communicate something positive – you look nice this morning, this color suits you blah blah…Let you people know you are aware of them and concerned.
We can put love notes in lunch boxes, send e cards, sms, hugs…..Once we decide to communicate our love often there are numerous ways to express it these days.Touching a person life is the most profound influence of all.
A few of hours a couple times a month can change someone’s future for the better!
Live life king size ~ You are an Guardian angel nOw……(ugh! screams your heart….. )

The Stuff behind my furniture!
I do like to think that I am reasonably clean and tidy. But comes that moment after all the furniture and possessions have been removed from my rooms and I come back to see if I had left anything, and I look at the floor and there's all this stuff around.Behind where the desk was and behind where the book case was and behind where the bed was and in the corner occupied by the chest. Suff.Gray, fuzzy, grotty Stuff.
Look at all the dirt, I think. I am not so very nice and clean after all, I think.
I read in a medical journal that a lab analyzes this Stuff.They were working on the problems of people with allergies , but their results apply here.The findings: particles of wool, cotton and paper,bug chunks, food, plants ,tree leaves,ash, microscopic spores of fungi and single celled animals and a lot of unidentifiable odds and ends, mostly naturaland organic.
But that's just the miscellaneous list.The majority of Stuff comes from just two sources: people - exfoliated skin and hair; and meteorites- disintegrated as they hit the earth's atmosphere.(No kidding-it's true- tons of it fall everyday). So, in other words, what's behind my bed and bookcase and dresser and chest is mostly me and stardust!

The clean job- Laundry!
I am incharge of laundry in my house.I like this job.It gives a sense of accomlishment.I like sorting clothes-lights,darks,in-betweens.I like setting the dials-hot,cold,rinse,time,heat.These are choices I can understandand make with decisive skill.When the wash cycle ends,I pull out the clean clothes and hang them to dry.When I am finished, I have a sense of accomplishment.A sense of competence.I'm good at doing the laundry.Atleast that! And it is a reliious experience, you know.Water,earth,fire-polarities of wet and dry,hot and cold,dirty and clean.The great cycles-round and round- beginning and end-Alpha and Omega.For a moment, at least, life is tidy and has a meaning...
