Trust and a few lines that rhyme.

Namaste!

I tried to think of something to write about, but it has been such an uneventful day today that nothing really stood out except a really small thing. Today, I took a step forward in the direction of trusting an unknown human being. I have been having an issue with trusting people recently because of the fact that there is so much informaiton available online and it just makes me uncomfortable. But, I am glad I did what I did. I have learnt a valuable lesson in trusting and valuing human relationships. I am grateful for this eye opening event that I have had the privilege of experiencing.

Trust, I once read, is the basis of any kind of relationship, be it of any kind - platonic, professional, intimate, filial, familial or of any of the other kinds that may exist. It is a cliché that I state now, but I must mention it nonetheless. A baby smiles when you throw him in the air simply because he knows no fear and moreso because he trusts you to catch him before he falls to the ground. A child very confidently falls backwards on to the snow. She seems to trust in the softness of the snow more than any adult ever would. We adults claim to know more, be wiser and to have experienced more than those children and at the same time it is we adults who smile lesser, who live closed and paranoiac lives, who don't seem to have as much fun as our children do.

Our knowledge has made us morose; our wisdom has made us wary and our experience has made us boring. We forget that knowledge, wisdom and experience are supposed to liberate us from our fears, make us realise what is worth living for and turn us on to the path of true happiness and not materialistic, monetary and momentary joys!

Today, I took a step in the direction of liberating myself; of putting myself out there - vulnerable to pain; filled with hope for good and brimming with faith in humanity; of taking myself on the journey to true and complete happiness. I hope that I make it to the end of my journey and that in my case, it is both the journey and the destination that will make my life complete!

I decided to end today's post with a few lines that rhyme rather than a few lines in tune. I hope you find them just as entertaining.

One, The Other or Both!

If one’s memory does not wane,
Then that memory becomes one’s bane!
But what if that same memory, though so strong
Remembers selectively and could be wrong?

Actions are good as long as they are remembered,
A bad memory and actions don’t go together!
Consciousness in actions is essential,
For one without the other is unacceptable!

Just a useless poem!

When time flies by and life stands still
We're wasting our lives, just being idle
You ought to be doing something useful
So they say and yet define "useful" they never may!

God's Got Dandruff!

I look out my window;
I see a sight I've never seen before;
It's God's dandruff they say;
It's snow for heaven's sake!

I'm so happy, I'm so so happy
I cannot take this smile off of me
I know I look stupid
But I just can't stop smiling
Because, the snow has woken the child in me!

In the Hope of a Reversal

I know in my heart that, in time
Upon those moments, I will smile
And I hope that you find it in you
To smile on those very same moments too

I may not change who I am now
Nor might I change the way I feel
But this to you I can promise
That bother you, I never will

All said and done, I want to say
That what I feel for you up until this day
Is more admiration and respect
Than for anyone else I have ever felt

Having said all that, I want you to know
That these past few weeks you've been very cold
Your distance and quiet, they hurt me.
Can't we ever get back to the way we use to be?
