The Seeker

What we seek, comes to us.

What we need is given to us.

What we should want is the brain to see this & not oppose it.

Why do I say this? Because I am surrounded by people who are giving everything to me - they do not know it but they are doing it. It is as if, someone knows what I am looking for & then just presenting it to me. So many people who surround me - friends, neighbors, colleagues, acquaintances, family - they help me to get my answers...sometime they show me, sometimes they lack it, sometimes they say it, sometimes they do it & most of the time, when they open up to me.

I seek people to understand life. I seek stories to find a pattern. I seek instances that make knowing each one of them worth my time.

And they all do it. Knowingly / unknowingly. I am not forcing them. I am not forcing me. I am not using them - they are not using me. It is just happening. And that is just amazing!

This is true for all of us. 

Frank..

Oh Frank, did I tell you about Frank? The one who could make dull moments magical? The one who could turn every phrase into something silly, something smart, something so clever that you had to laugh! Oh Frank, who could look vulnerable but had a mind that could bend spoons. Frank and Aladdin had one thing in common - they both could show you the world...shining, shimmering, splendid....!

Rant...

I should be doing something else right now but here I am blogging! This is end of 2016 & my blogging habits have gone down a lot (no time... no spare time... did I say no time...oh ya, where is the time...).

Yet here I am. It is either going to be a very dull day or a very interesting day. In both cases I am feeling a bit demotivated. Or a bit checked.

Crazy crazy day...I would like to get back to a Saturday morning in office in 2005 with music & all the spare time...

simple life truth...

So every time I am driving I have these amazing thought process going which evaporates the minute I park my car (at office or home). I just cannot remember what was so profound that I had felt the need to pen things down. So I decided to record a thought while driving so that I could recall the process & maybe then jot it down.

Oh the folly! Recorded thought seems so simple and so boring that I did not have a heart to do anything with it. But the point is, I know the experience that led me to that thought & with all the twists & turn it ended in a very simple discovery.

Another simple life truth...

Dreams..

Woke up today with a feeling of happiness & loss - at the same time. In my dreams, my subconscious mind plays perfect scenarios - where everything is in place, everyone says the right things, even my hair is perfect!

In some parallel world, I will always cherish the friendship of souls & will get to be with everyone the way I would have liked :)

The Mommy Avatar

Oh the days that go by being a mom!

School, after-school care, evening activities, weekend activities and play dates!

Where the hell do we create time for our passions when passion to create a person takes over...

It is spiritual and humbling, all at the same time. To see a little person grow in intellect is the biggest wonder ever...
