The road less traveled...

Today I took the road less travelled,
Wondered if it makes any difference.
For the road can be different,
But the traveler seldom changes

Today I took the road less traveled,
Realised it's not about the road at all,
It's about Me.

Paraphrasing Robert Frost

The Prism.

Hush Child.
Smile for what you have,
don't ever let any one thing
bother you so much.
So much that everything else
seems less than perfect.
Everything is perfect,
just the way you see it.
For its not perfection that counts,
but the prism you see it in.
The prism you see yourself in.
So let go of what you hold on to
and be in awe of what you have
Hush child, its time now.
Time for you to stop.
To stop and smile about everything.
No matter the tears, the sorrow.
Remember to just smile and let go.
For what counts, is the prism.
The prism is the perfection.

The Truth

You have hope
Believe in your dreams

You look the other way
Run away, wish, pray for a miracle

You live in oblivion
Refuse to believe what's real

The Truth shall set you free
Open your eyes to it
It's all good

You endure the pain
Nothing is ever in vain

Smile and move on
Because the Truth shall set you free

random [...]

Glory is resistance in the midst of temptation.
Glory is standing tall when desolate.

Growing up.

Happy or Sad
With no shades of gray
I finally realized
why I feel this way
I'm not a kid
This is a child at play.

Wise and Mature,
As well I may be
When it comes to the heart
There is an infant in me.

I have to grow up
And be well understood
Of the lessons I've learnt
That've taught me the good.

Wise and Mature,
I will be, I will be
When I grow up
In shades of gray I will see.

The need to belong

"A hypothesized need to form and maintain strong, stable interpersonal relationships is evaluated in light of the empirical literature. The need is for frequent, nonaversive interactions within an ongoing relational bond. Consistent with the belongingness hypothesis, people form social attachments readily under most conditions and resist the dissolution of existing bonds. Belongingness appears to have multiple and strong effects on emotional patterns and on cognitive processes. Lack of attachments is linked to a variety of ill effects on health, adjustment, and well-being. Other evidence, such as that concerning satiation, substitution, and behavioral consequences, is likewise consistent with the hypothesized motivation. Several seeming counterexamples turned out not to disconfirm the hypothesis. Existing evidence supports the hypothesis that the need to belong is a powerful, fundamental, and extremely pervasive motivation."

Turn, turn, turn

To everything, turn, turn, turn
There is a season (turn, turn, turn)

A time to kill, a time to heal
A time to laugh, a time to weep

A time to build up,a time to break down
A time to dance, a time to mourn

A time to love, a time to hate
A time for peace, I swear its not too late

The bond between two people in love is quite amazing. Sometimes opposites do attract, sometimes its the opposite. But for two people to enjoy the same things together at the same level, that is something worth living for.

To know that when you are playing tennis or going for a jog or on a beach, both are there because this what they like doing and not just there, merely to be with the other or to spend time with the other or because one person likes it and the other person wants to see the other happy.

It is when both enjoy it and the fact they are together while they do things they would enjoy individually, that compounds the joy and happiness.
