Mending Fences

“I’d like to mend fences with you. Not because you are right and I am wrong. Nor because I am weak and you are strong…. Mending fences….such an easy thing to say but why is it so hard to do…? So, how do we mend fences? Who should go first? Is there ever such a…

What It Takes to {Be}long?

“How far will you go to belong?” A sense of belonging whether it is at work, school, church or anywhere else is probably one of the most assuring feelings one could ever have. It is the knowing that they do not consider you any different from the rest of the crowd. That feeling of being…

Mists of Antiquity

“something that obscures understanding” I’ve always been a trusting person. I always wear my heart over my sleeve. I love faithfully and deeply. I also trust wholeheartedly. I always think the good about people, especially of the ones I cared about or have known for quite a while. And I don’t just trust or love…

When It’s Time To Go

When I was younger, the talk of death terrified me. I find it such a morbid topic to talk about. At that time, I also dreaded looking at or seeing coffins. I’d skip the viewing because I’d rather remember the person while they were alive. But lately,  the thought of death doesn’t scare me anymore….

As We See It

I’ve blogged several times how I love dandelions. And how most times, I see a wish instead of a weed. And it’s the truth. But then, there is also the reality that…a weed will always be a weed, an evil – evil, and a bad thing will always be a bad thing. Sometimes, you just…

Colorless

“But are not this struggle and even the mistakes one may make better, and do they not develop us more, than if we kept systematically away from emotions?” ~Vincent Van Gogh I have so many thoughts and emotions inside me that I just want to write and write and write. I’m sure now that you…

Peculiar

A human being is a single being. Unique and unrepeatable.   Eileen Caddy Isn’t it strange that I find this halfway bloom beautiful? I have shots of the same Azalea plant with flowers in full bloom and yet this one caught my eye. Have you ever considered yourself peculiar at times? I’d like to use…

My kind of flock

  When you hear the word flock, who and what do you associate it with? I’ve always been a homebody. I like being by myself and with myself. At first, I always associate it with being shy, timid and anti-social. I thought it has something to do with my self-esteem…that I am not confident enough….

Wounded

When we talk about wounds, what’s the first thing that comes to mind? This Oak tree is just one of the many that we have in our yard. One stormy night, a lightning hit it. As mightily as is it standing, you can tell that it is still trying to show it strength. Wounded…but still…

Rare Weeds

I don’t know what is it with dandelions, they have a way of getting into me. It’s like each one of them stand out on their own. It is considered a weed, but it commands attention. Maybe, I’m just an easy to please person….I don’t know. How can a tiny stem like that hold such…
