On the: approach to an insignificant number.

Neither a milestone nor a checkpoint;
Seeped in self awareness yet doubts linger;
Far away from the past but not distant future;
Some goals achieved some there to conquer;
As I approach you oh insignificant number, I am amazed by the significance that surrounds you.

A dedication to 16 June 2008

Six years ago today...
...I was quietly hopeful that love would find me and I would find love.
...I was scared that may be I will lose hope.
...I could not comprehend happiness, the kind that touches your soul.

Today...
...I am in love more than ever before.
...I am more in love with every passing moment and it is true everytime it is said and thought.
...I revel in happiness of a kind that I could not comprehend existed.


What happened between six years ago today and today is an embrace,
An embrace of love, affection, friendship and respect.
My dreams from before have had a kiss of life and they live in a perfect world,
A world that is happier than every imagination imagined, every dream dreamt.

Six years ago today, I wanted it to be today, everyday.

Happiness and contentment

being happy and content requires
a striving mind, but a strong heart;
a heart that is restless, but quite happy;
a happiness that is wholesome, but never quite content;
a state of contentment, but with desires;
a list of desires, but no conditions of fulfilment;
a pursuit to fulfil, but no final destination.

Sight O' Delight....

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

Gaijin

gaijin - [japanese]
an outsider; foreigner.

The Gaijin

Scent filled mist,
The first breath of air
Young and innocent,
Alive and chirping

Devilish in desire,
Dismissive by nature
Impish and arrogant,
Kicking and screaming

Gentle breeze
Hand in hand, walk on the beach
Loving and caring,
Living and lasting

A fly on the wall,
To this world I look upon
To this world, I haven't belonged in
I'm Gaijin.

New dimensions.

Following the adherence to the Phase-out as per the post below, "Eloping with the Breeze" will no longer pursue the overwhelming focus on the singly sided objective. Although some posts in the past have looked beyond this objective, they quite often just ricocheted from it. This will expand the dimensions, explore new frontiers and present perspectives which accurately reflect the current ideaology and still retain the spirit of the Breeze.

The spirit of the Breeze is (currently) described as the "Escapes of the mind, in words that sometimes over simplify things, sometimes complicate them and sometimes, say no more than what is read".

The Subject, the Elusion and the Phase-out.

The Elusion owes its existence to my mindless escalation of the Subject to unrealistic heights. The continuing indulgence in this exercise has also worked towards all aspects to be often looked upon as a far cry from the supposed potential.

Retroactively, one of the chief benefits of this exercise has been the ability to adapt to the Least Common Denomitator and quite importantly, the decreasing sense of fanciful attachment to needless nostalgia.

The Elusion, for the most part, has contributed at best to serve as a challenge to staying positive and at worst to a feeling of destitution and general disillusionment. The prevalence of the latter being higher puts forth the increasing importance for the Phase-out of the obsession with the Subject and subsequently the Elusion.

The Phase-out aims to serve the much needed neutralising effect. The inherent quality of being human and therefore lacking a machine like precision poses an uphill task for the constant application of the Phase-out. Drawing from the benefit of 'withdrawal of attachment' , it is however intended that the occasional drop in guard is reverted at the earliest.

Another important aspect of the Phase-out will be the avoidance to the maximum possible level of all activities that lead to the ascension of the Subject or the Elusion. Such activities serve no constructive purpose and contribute to self destruction. They also blur the line of neutrality and warrant entry in to discarded territory.

The sole purpose of existence for the Phase-out is to retain the Cheery Disposition at most times and a speedy return from the suspected fall outs. The Subject, will perhaps always exist in some way, shape or form, not prominent but constrained and the lack of indulgence will ultimately lead to the eventual abandonment of the Elusion.

Prism

http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/prism

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.

[ No matter the languages learnt
no matter the words acquainted
no matter the epics read

when you look at me
when I look at you

the conversation of our hearts
is a language of its own

In a language with no alphabets

Completeness/Comprehension

Is the conversation of our hearts ]

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

The Cheer

A Star is a star, is a star
No matter who you are
No matter how you are
No matter how you feel

I tell you my dreams
In the hope that its you and me
When it isn't to be
My dreams are mine

Though you'll always remain dear
When it isn't to be
My dreams are mine
And so is the Cheer

Bliss

bliss - [blis]

-supreme happiness; utter joy or contentment

The Riverside

I'm walking down the river side.
The same path I take everyday. Sometimes fast, sometimes slow.
My thoughts and my shadow are my only companion.
Today, I stopped for a brief second, reached out to a Eucalyptus leaf.
I plucked it out and after three folds, took a deep breath from it.
The scent of it was heart warming, unlike one I have ever had before.

It isn't an Epiphany.
It isn't a secret message.
It isn't the meaning of life.

It's happiness.
It's contentment.
It's not a metaphor, it's Real Life.

If pictures speak a thousand words
An idea spurs a million
I'm not in love with a picture of you,
I'm in love with the idea of you

But how can it be love
When the words I say, they push you away
How can it be love
When I feel it for you and you don't feel it for me

Its a hope that is hoped for, but better left in despair
Its a dream that is dreamt, but best served unfulfilled
