c'est la vie

i try to sit still, control my breathing and embrace my delinquent thoughts.  vexed. with myself. things are changing around me, the sun is regaining its colour, no longer a pale invalid but healthier, more robust now...the breeze is at times the exact degree of your warm breath.  I envy the seasons their knowing of time, their purpose, it all leads to somewhere... to a newer place with a regularity which is ancient, timeless.  I on the other hand, an errant lost soul, time passes me by but i don't reach a state where beginnings lead to fullness and endings to closure...for me its all a continuum...i feel i am becoming a river which only knows how to flow and right now i am carrying a lot of debris along.   I have no clue to my purpose, no idea of my destination and I don't even know if there is any goodness in being so...all i know is that it is so and that you shall always bring me sweetness to my heart.

Gulnaz your words are like fireflies in my mind:Flashes of creative excellence. We all have the debris,it's the dams that create the havoc.

I agree with Pat - you have such a way with words that sparks all kinds of thoughts in us...

In answer You are! Therefore be.
Endings are over rated destinations and beginnings are numerous as there are grains of sand it is the voyages that teach and amaze us.
Gulnaz why so poignant?
