Chopstick,  the bird, gyrating bottle circumnavigated around a bubble of champagne soap, a shower of perfumed flowers engulfing the garden, a river serenely piercing the aqueduct and a horse journeying around the countryside. But everyone deliberately failed to remember that once upon a time, it was a gateway of caramel calmness that surrounded her crust, a glamour silk translucent light – oyster fountain of juice, lemonade of darling lollipops and a dishwasher of elevated gospely pedestal.

She artlessly succumbed to the hollow, consenting to the demands of her obnoxious asserted generational wantings . However, as strange as it seemed, repulsive as they may have found her, they were ready to give her props and entertained the idea that the bird was actually being candid for once. Yes, she was. The revelation was so intoxicating that it prompted the other birds to quickly deduce what went down with Chopstick and despite the sturdiness shower of jargons, the detective work went into high gear anyway. 

A Trip On The Life Train

El Bierzo, las Medulas historic Mining site Leon, Spain. Its capital is the town of Ponferrada. Listed by the Unesco as one of the World Heritage sites.

Life is like a trip on a train with its stations, track changes and accidents. When we are born, we hop and board the train of tomorrow, the roadmap delineated by our parents. We stay closer to them believing that they will always be our travel companions, tour guides and peeps at boardroom but sometime along the trip of joys, sorrows, fantasies and goodbyes, they will leave us behind to fend for ourselves and meet the world, calling it, growing up.

Many will log through these roads with their little stories to tell. Some will leave an amazing dot on the spoon, others permanent vacuum and some will go so unnoticed that we will not even realize they have vacated their seats, leaving us perplexed and curious. But the great mystery of all, is that we never know at what station we will be dropping off, what bumps on the road we will encounter, what caricature will be drawn and stains will be left on outfit.  We don’t know. Therefore, we must live and enjoy the moment the best way we can, take advantage of what life has to offer while loving and forgiving the hurdles we encounter. So when time comes, we will have memories to share, beautiful or unsavory, of those traveling on the train of life. Happy travels!
