கண்ணாமூச்சி

வாழ்க்கை பாதையில்
ஒரு பொம்மலாட்டம்-
சொல்லாத எண்ணங்களில்
தெரியாத வண்ணங்களில்
தொலைந்த கனவுகளை
தேடும் குருடர்களாய் ...
எங்கோ என்றோ நிரடிய எண்ணங்களை
இங்கு இன்று தொடாமல் தொட்டுக்கொண்டு
வார்த்தை விளையாட்டில்
வாழ்கை தொலைப் போமோ?

Morning Musing

I woke up this morning. Have roof over my head, a job, family, and more family back home that care for me and I care for. Have great friends. I am blessed. Thank God for these blessings in life.

There are times when life looks gloomy, hopeless and fearful. We are born and we die. We, as in us do not decide when we are born. Same way we do not decide when we die. So why would I let anxiety take over? Fear cripple my way?

Work honestly, communicate openly, appreciate little pleasures, live on, until the day we are ready to move on and make space for those lives that'll happen after us. That day can be anywhere - just a few feet away or miles. Waiting for that to arrive takes away the present.

Living in the present - thoughtfully, appreciatively, joyfully and thankfully, at the same time counting the little blessings, hoping for a future - not fearing for the future would be very helpful to find way through life, living it.
