Connect

A connection of sorts,
soul stirring, yet balanced
tells to hang in there
A god-gifted sign

So how can we give the future generation, the life that we did not have?

Missed the Point

A cygnet was born to a duck family. And eventually it became a swan. That is not the point of this story. 

It is the story of the duck family. And how they failed to notice a swan. And how they tried every possible method in the book to make that cygnet, a duckling. And how they gave up. 

How they missed the point. 

And how a duck was born to the Swan family and how they too missed the point.  

It is a pattern of sorts that I can see in these lives. 

Small Towns and Big Cities

Small towns are their own kind of judge. They look sleepy, laid back and peaceful but there is a distinct sense of cruelty that is at play - especially for people who are different. Just plain different. Difference could be in the form of non-conformation to general "expected" behavior to an actual exception to what is can be considered as a misfortune. These towns have their own way of questioning the non-conformists, of putting spotlight on people who would rather be left alone, of expecting these folks to change one day to conform.

Big cities seem impersonal, in a hurry and harsh. Yet they are kind. They let people be. They let non-conformists feel safe, at home, at peace. They shift the spotlight to opportunities that can let the non-conformists grow and explore, at their own pace, like an old friend who understands and gives space and waits, without judging.

Fate

We are fated to meet people who will eventually elevate us to the next level. There is a reason that we have met. Some people are hard to miss, they just come and stay.
