Cold blade sheaths
Cleaves thin air
Pieces of salt
And sand ….
Eddying to shores
In calm representation.

“Is it fair?” He questions
“Was it fair?” I enquire
Who are you?
I don’t have an answer

Few remember me
I remember even fewer
To hearken to deeds
What futile aversions ….

I think every person we meet offers a lesson to us, whether to confirm our belief or confirm our disbelief - either way we learn.

Jeevan: I liked the confidence my friend in the way you said "Its fair" ... thank u for that perspective.

-------------------------------------

Janice: every person we meet in life gives sustenance to our own beliefs or disbelief ... Somehow I am still searching what are my core beliefs that sustains me. This week somehow I have reflected too much on "do I abide by my core beliefs ... do I hold on to them in any given circumstances??" the honest answer is no. except for few very personal beliefs I have realised that I dont have any belief can translate into principle. everyday, every situation, every meeting and everything reading makes me question my belief. yes it is still a learning and an unending process. And as I write this comment I am woncering .."is it afterall such a bad thing ... is it good to hold on to ones belief through times .... come what way ... doesnt then that mean my time is over if I can no longer learn ... " well I guess it is a constant phase of evolution and my only aim is when I look back upon my life 30 yrs down the line I shld look back at it as "well lived" and in all sense of that term. thank u for those words ..

PS: Though not related to the above comments somehow I wanted to be arrogant in this post but when I wrote "Who are you?" I was no longer sure of the arrogance / answer.

Thos epieces of salt and sand are joys and pain in life.

Whe things go beyond, it can never be felt and thaz why its hard to recognize.

Its a constant quest .. isn't it? Once you've answers to all questions I wonder .. life would be so bland .. and something would cease to exist..

Alok said...

Pria: yes the joys and pains of life ... i want ot see them both in a saucer at the same time and feel both of them at the same moment and though it is hard to recognize the quest is still on ... thnk u

-------------------------------------

Aria: I fully agree with ya ... I sincerely hope people who questions can come out stronger even if they dont have an answer.. thank u
