Somebody

Some friends you see once in a while, but somehow it does not matter. There is something invisible that connects us. Something the eye can never see, but the soul is always aware of.   I love nature. It speaks without words . A few weeks ago I met with a friend. We had tea, a chat- as we tend to do every six months for the past 5 and a half years. What struck me was his words- there must be somebody out there that would understand him, his life style and be suitable for him. I bit my lip as I have a habit of being so direct with him and the bluntness is sometimes brutal. But what I wanted to say was - you keep on occupying yourself with unsuitable people because you fall in love with a nationality and therefor "the person stays a "somebody" instead of ever having a name! I did not say it. He asked where I was heading. I said home. He asked where home was these days. I shrugged my shoulders. For once I chose to keep quiet and left. I t...

Flaws

Flaws Flaws for some is seen as a character that is not so inspiring or  something to be kept out of sight. My usual text banter with "Space geek" had just such an admission. We were joking about flaws. He wrote: There are flaws we never want people to be aware of. My reply was simply: We share those flaws with a trusted few. Those souls who have learnt and truly understand, that to care is never to judge! I am a great lover of flaws. The most beautiful pieces of art have a unique signature which for mass production is a flaw. It is the subtle flaws that makes it special, unique and sought after. A true collectors item. There is a collector for each of our flaws. For it is the  people who identify with each of our flaws that in  time becomes our closest friends!

Dear Jack

Shortly before Christmas I received a message: Dear Mia, I just wanted to let you know mom passed away on Monday. It was very sudden and unexpected. It was strange as that particular day, I was thinking and talking about her so much. I wrote about Firecracker aka Her majesty The Pea Princess  in my post 16 February 2015: Life after death Her death may have been untimely for her family, but it has been an epiphany for me. I am standing on the doorstep of a universe. One step forward and I can make my "dreams come true by reaching a goal I have worked on for sometime" or one step back and I have the life I longed for since I can remember. The battle between head and heart. Either choice will have a sacrifice ! It was however with that text message, that reminded me of our 3am conversations. It was a strong reminder of choices we make when we are young and what we come to value as we stand in front of the pearly gates of eternity. See, the ...
