Contrails

sometimes i look at a person and wonder if i could have been friends with this individual.

---

I suppose there's a single moment when you just know. It'll work out; everything's okay. It felt good to have experienced that moment. I needed it.

---

I still get pricked when I see that old friend of mine. We fell out for the same reason I would hold onto even now. I don't know whom should I pity more.

---

I have stopped thinking about what I am feeling.

---

All eyes speak of a sadness that they endured. But there's always one eye which will show what has become of the person upon having endured this sadness.

---

There is much power, liberation and peace when you say your goodbye..not because you have to, but because you know there is no other way but that.

---

Is it the suffering which scares me - I have to go through the torture, pain, humiliation and torment?
Or the obvious death - I will have to shed my mortal skin and be erased by one swell sweep from the land of tangible joys to move to a land I know nothing of?

---

I wonder how long will I continue living in this seemingly eternal fear and fright. I'm sure I can survive this whole life like that...but what a waste this life would be if I allowed that to happen..

---

Usually there's just one word that can describe a person..in a nutshell, if you please. This word can keep changing over time depending on what's the person's growth like.

---

I have noted that exercise does wonders to a person's mental health. It provides a balance. It takes one a while to discover that very exercise which will provide this equilibrium. Normally, the exercise will have a great spiritual quotient to it. Hence, it gives a three-fold effect - that of spiritual, mental and physical health.

Sometimes I wonder if I would have been friends with myself as a child. Or I wonder what kind of student I was...from the perspecitive of going back as an adult and watching my own childhood.

that single moment is the most precious of all. then, you know how it is to want to trust and discover. and a moment like that is so hard to come by. too many pretenses out there.

>shee< - Welcome here and I'm happy to know that you like what I write. :)

transience - All's well that started well. Just some hiccups that help digestion :))

the_woman - Not exercise enough. It's not exactly physical exercise, so wouldn't encompass what I was talking of.

stan laurel - Hehe. You made me reflect a bit. I'd have loved me as a child and felt somewhat disillusioned about myself as a student. But I care not. I've turned out alright! Hope the same for you.

bismuth - As long as we don't pretend with ourselves.

Collective poetic thughts...I was toched

I will recited again

"Is it the suffering which scares me - I have to go through the torture, pain, humiliation and torment?
Or the obvious death - I will have to shed my mortal skin and be erased by one swell sweep from the land of tangible joys to move to a land I know nothing of?"

Thank you for lightening up my soul, at times its trapped in darkness...screaming to be freed
