Random thoughts & Catharsis

1. Soar:

I like how a plane soars into the sky. The one moment in time, when that most marvelous of engineering feats, leaves the world behind. I drop whatever else I do, and that singular point of take-off & lift-up holds my undivided attention. It holds poignant significance for me.

2. Travel:

As I write this, I'm far from being a globe-trotter. But I've realized over the past year of intra-country travel, that visiting far-flung places, features eminently on my 'Things-to-do-before-I-die' list.

3. The Unnamed & The Unknown:

There have been people I met in my walk, who fulfilled a purpose - with a timely word, a helpful hand, or an unforeseen insight. I was grateful. I was responsive to their need too. Then, I moved on. That was okay. A natural drift. I made no effort to 'stay-in-touch'. On another time zone, can one meet someone, who's nothing like you in a most likely way, and you let that fierce guard down, and wonder, "if those walls you built up, were just glass on the outside?" Some relationships don't have to have a name. Someday, I'll heartbreakingly know..

4. The known:

You cannot walk on hot coals and not be scorched.
You cannot walk through fire and not be burned.
