In her new life she notices her surroundings… She sits under a tree in the afternoon with a box full of hidden memories; trying not so hard to let go of the unfinished old stories… Still smiles at strangers and makes them smile up at her eternally… She plants yellow tulips in that little garden afar; in the middle of the infinite sky… In her new life she lives blue and dreams green… And her story continues while she dares to be daring…

Happy St. Patrick’s Day… Stay merry and G.R.E.E.N!

Here comes a quote from an Irish writer:

“I said, ‘It is most extraordinary weather for this time of year.’ He replied, ‘Ah, it isn’t this time of year at all.’ “

— Oliver St. John Gogarty (1878-1957)

This poem made me delighted and all smiley…

A crippled child
Said, “How shall I dance?”
Let your heart dance
We said.

Then the invalid said:
“How shall I sing?”
Let your heart sing
We said

Then spoke the poor dead thistle,
But I, how shall I dance?”
Let your heart fly to the wind
We said.

Then God spoke from above
“How shall I descend from the blue?”
Come dance for us here in the light
We said.

All the valley is dancing
Together under the sun,
And the heart of him who joins us not
Is turned to dust, to dust.

— Gabriela Mistral

See through it…

– Who are you?

– I’m an old goldfish.

– What do you do?

– Seeking nonstop for a lost one.

– Where do you live?

– In a small cage made of red paper.

– For how long?

– Next question.

– Can we write a short story about you?

– Only if you keep it a secret.

– You bet! Thank you. Oh sorry, what was your name?

– I don’t have one.

“When we are happy, we love nature. When we are dull and depressed, it says nothing to us. Our feeling for it would therefore seem to be reflection of our moods.”

A brief story of an unborn…

She once believed the sky was going to fall on her head, deeply… The open doors were all going to collapse while the endless pain would remain in every each step she took… She was utterly convinced her vulnerable image was falling into a thousand pieces… She constantly felt the unfairness and dishonesty of life… Anger and frustration lurking beneath her dead skin in a world where she only wept…

One day, though, the rain suddenly stopped falling and she was rejuvenated through the warmth of the sun… The warmth which helped her overcome the timidity in every each cell of her body… She is now getting ready to introduce her true self to the rest of the world while her story continues…

OK! I am blogging from the Capital City… It’s freezing cold and I’m really full… Ottawa is much prettier at nights… Much friendlier also… Jean and Louise are the names of my new friends… A couple whom I just met less than hour ago!

I’m now going under my duvet and start counting my sheep… I will however write more soon… or perhaps not!

Sweet dreams my friends…

You sat around wondering why your luck had changed for the worse… Never thought it might have been for the better… So you decided to follow the crowd, the same old crowd, the certain routines, and live a safe, though boring, existence… You didn’t see the signs because you never wanted to or maybe you were too busy with the other half of your mind… You believed what you wanted to believe and you let your thoughts deceive you…

And you finally stopped while holding on to the image of your dreams in the other end of your mind…
