Good Night

IMG_3365

At night I write
at night I pray
at night I bawl
unafraid
without care
unadulterated
or pretenses.
At night I let go
of the words
of my will, there is.
At night they are out
calling
wandering
gossiping
only to the moon.
At dusk they chat
exhilarated
to the moon I say
I exist
at night, I rest.

Life And It’s Corridors

Traveling through Myanmar

Life is an endless highway that metamorphoses into a catalog of unknowns that frames our journey and everyday existence. It is a voyage that initiates at dawn, veers through strokes, sways into various routes transporting us into nameless territories. Unaware of that ride and where it might transports us next, we hop on a plane and land in a region called reality.

Reality. Right now. The moment. Be still.

Providing all the amenities and scores of challenges, some build their lives rewarded by gratitude, understanding and love, and others by a stroke of luck, and unforeseen mayhem. Along the way, we encounter hurdles and opportunities that makes us jump and take notice, grow, creating an identity card unique to us.

Unsure of its corridors, it sometimes drives us into an encrypted new itinerary, undiscovered, vague. We are left alone to peddle around its bridge, embrace the mysterious and trade in a new outfit every second in the corridor of possibilities or tragedies, too often for our own good.

We run across scores of people – some brilliant others uninteresting, share stories – some beautiful and others soulless, celebrate occasions and make undeniable family of friends that we will perhaps treasure and put on a piggy bank.

Well, it is life. It is one previously carved enigma and we just simply don’t know. It is our journey, it defines us, we live it. It can change in a minute; so, let’s make the best of it!

Find Your Rainbow

We were visiting a friend and right before he got into the car, the rain began to pour and this huge, fully-arced, bright rainbow appeared. A few seconds later, a second bow appeared above it — fainter but still a complete arc. Yes, it is a prismatic optical effect and always visible to those with the right perspective. So what? It is divine and always spiritual!
