New, Again!

With the new year's arrival, millions of little memories, insignificant and bright ones, colored and dimmed ones, do fly round my head. Suddenly, it is like all the 27 years or what I really recall from them pass me by as quick flashes. Moments of great joy and others of prolonged dramatic nights. Recollections of long ago friends and classmates and recent acquaintences.

The importance of such an event. in my belief, is not the counting of the days nor the declaration of one's progress in age. It is like a sign to stop at and think, then rethink, to act and react, to weigh and value what has passed and be sure and conscious of what is to come. If we stopped with ourselves for a while, we would gain a lot for more days to come.

One Gained .. All Lost

After we have left our residence for about one month because of certain complicated situation, we only returned to discover that the sheep and goats we possess have gained a new one. We were both surprised and glad at the same time. For a while we waited for a claimer, but none was shown. So, the deal was set and the number was plused.

But the happiness of the gain was easily demolished and was replaced by the sudden disappearance of all!! It was done with swiftness and under dark circumstances. No one was able to tell us how such a thing would happen in the middle of the day!!

I think .... Who ever gave .... Has taken ... !

Fair enough ... Right?

Dragons of Love

When I was born to life with a scream, I had no thought of any sort that it holds for me a bunch of laughter as much as a reasonable amount of tears!

No one can predict what his own life-path may lead, even though we would be the selectors, the arbiters, and the source of everything around us. We, as humans, are subject to alteration and fits of mood. Circumstances do shape our actions, influences necessarily affect our reason, and pressure plays the inevitable role to conduct the routes of change.

Our search for stability is not bounded by any limits, but the eyes see what the hand can not reach.

Through the different experiences that marked my childhood and adulthood, and which I can neither label as positive nor negative, I witnessed happiness in its widest forms and was relished with its merriest hues.

My mind recalls handful of photos that fixate the memory of gaiety. From my infancy to my manhood, the feeling of being lucky, cherished, protected, and eyed is totally fluent and vivid. But progressing with such a sentiment made me comprehend the importance of touching this awareness and appreciating it. The idea stroke me when I was in an immense state of cheerfulness for I am passing through something that has never crossed my life before. Something that I was not waiting nor expecting. And this abrupt state, this sudden situation, just gave spur to my energy and unleashed my Dragons of Love.

The question rises:

Is it unsafe to ultimately unlock the so-long preserved heart? Who knows?

One is not but a test. A test is not but a game. A game is not but sequences. Sequences are not but patterns. And patterns do create Life.
