CREATE. SUPPORT. PRODUCE.
RANDOM MUSINGS
A collection of thoughts on anything under the sun that the writer fancies to spend a minute on to write about.
No desire for a sublime purpose for the writings albeit to share the impressions of the mind.

LIVING LIFE
To live is to find meaning in life’s profound absurdities.
To live is to embrace the struggles that punctuate the days.
To live is to delight in the everyday miracles.
To live is to accept life’s imperfections and still find its essence nonetheless.
To live is to know the purpose of life and strive to live it.
YOUTH
A symphony floats in the background
As the gossamer sunlight casts a fierce shadow
In the ripples of my dreams.
The rhythmic breathing of my heart
Slides into the distant past.
A fading memory
A shadow of what was once a burst of life
Of bon vivant.
An icy reflection of warmth eroded
Creating a magical confusion that refuses oblivion.
QUIESCENCE
The luxury of being.
Embraced by the stillness of life.
Enraptured by its quietude.
Let your spirit soar.
Savor the freedom of the boundless horizon.
Come back to yourself.
Embrace the new you.
Images fleeting as a vision
Catches the periphery of my eyes
As i drown in the bottomless reserves of my thoughts
Freely submitting to where the currents of my mind take me.
LIFE AS I SEE IT
I look at life and I see turbulence and chaos and marked suffering.
I look at life and I see its peaceful rhythm.
I look at life and I see an overwhelming uncertainty of what is to come.
I look at life and I see the deep reflection of my soul.
WINDOWS
Peering through…
struggling to find yourself in what you see around you
Or what you see within yourself.
Either you open or you close the invisible window that frames your soul
To break free from what could be your bondage or what could be your refuge.
Shut it down.
Sling it open.
The choice is in you.
SPECK
A grain of sand in the sea
A tiny dot in the boundless horizon
A minuscule entity in the universe that you can't hardly fathom.
Despite this minuteness you have your place
Sharing space with a hundred million others
Wondering who and what you really are
A speck in this ethereal creation.
THE LONG ROAD
Far and wide you have travelled
But there seems to be no end
To the road that stretches way beyond your sight.
Winding.
Sometimes narrow. Sometimes spread out. Sometimes strewn with rocks and pebbles. Sometimes as smooth as ice.
Just keep walking.
Momentarily stopping to catch your breath and suck every marrow of the scenery unfolding.
Long you may have trod.
Long the road may seem.
The cul de sac exists only in the mind.
Seek the beauty in the plain.
Find peace in the chaos.
With maudlin tears embrace the grotesque realities of an incongruous world
and strive to create even a faint echo that will reverberate and strike a chord
in the hearts that refuse to be hardened by the sepulchral voices of the night.
Struggling with procrastinating
Struggling with procrastinating .
Tomorrow. There will always be tomorrow. That is what we always want to believe.
Tomorrow will be the perfect day. Tomorrow will just be the right moment. But is there truth in it?
We always find comfort and relief in the belief that tomorrow we will be our perfect selves to confront our daily challenges.
The challenge to write.
The challenge to paint.
The challenge to learn something new.
The challenge to become a better person.
Postponing these for tomorrow somehow gives the assurance that by then we will be more prepared.
But procrastination should not find its realization in our lives. We should always strive to live our life every single day. Do what we can do today without ever acknowledging that tomorrow exists.
We can never be prepared enough if we believe that there is still one more day left to prepare. We can never achieve what we want in our life if we postpone for tomorrow what we can achieve today.
We have to live our lives as though there is only today. Because today is the only reality that we have. Because today is what we have. Because today exists. But it takes a lot of self-will to push ourselves to not procrastinate. But I hope that tomorrow, we will finally find it in ourselves... to not procrastinate.
Living LIFE.
It has always been a puzzle. Trying to figure out the purpose of our life. Trying to find out why we are where we are. Trying to understand the circumstances that we have been thrown into.
But life is just too complicated. Life is just too complex to fully comprehend its varied nuances and the multiple layers beneath that simply cannot just be instantly peeled.
To understand life takes time. To understand life is to live it...to immerse in it... to be in it ... to feel the roller-coaster of emotions that it brings... without negating or denying that it exists.
Life, no matter what it offers, is a reality that must be faced. The different blows that it throws may not be something that we may have prepared ourselves for. A surprise, though unpleasant it might be.
That is how life works. We may not like it. But it is how it is. We cannot change the course of what life has in store for us. But what is certain is that we can change our ways of dealing with it.
There are no hard and fast rules. What will make a big difference is how we perceive life. How we take on the challenges that life brings with it. How we put value on life and its varied representations. How we value ourselves and the principles that we have stood for and dictated the way we live.
Life is just too precious. Life is just too colorful. Life is just too complicated to reduce its existence in the palm of our hand.
Life is for us to behold. Life is for us to experience the magic that it can unfold. Life is just too beautiful that we will always be in awe of what it really is.
Perhaps, we really do not have to understand life. We just have to live it.
