No idea no idea
There is none here
Oh my deeeaaaah!

In response to closing lines from Big B
I closed without ceremony
Despairing pain and agony
They honored my humanity
I’m laughing at the irony

Why children?
Today at 6:47PM, I felt I knew why I have children. At 7 PM I lost it with them big time - but in the space of those few minutes things seemed shining clear.
Children are the means by which every living creature is allowed to feel priviledged. Wanted, worthwhile, productive (pardon the pun). It is as simple as that. Everything else in life seems to be distributed unfairly. Some people are the 'haves' and others are 'have nots'. But when you care for a child and truly dedicate yourself to his/her nurturing (and that is my definition of a parent)- there is a part of you that becomes so selfless, so pure, so unconditional, so accepting. You are a miracle to yourself, for yourself. As you grow older and life's setbacks dim your pride in every decision you took, I think (and hope) these frustrating little creatures offer you self-esteem. It is greatness taken from the hands of the few and distributed freely for everyone to enjoy- like air, sunshine, water. This love is elemental. And will surely be the end of us all one day.

There is always
There is always an alternate life. That you can regret not having. Or that you are so thankful you have not led. Those are so easy to reconcile with. Its just so hard to live with what you DID choose. Sometimes its unbearable joy, which makes one fearful of losing it. Sometimes unbearable pain - need I say what one wants to do then?

Walking with Adi
I took a ten-minute walk with Adi last night
We saw a moon that some astronaut had cut in half
And wondered where he found the scissors
We danced on the road
To the crickets playing live in the thickets
We were stars at the Olympic
Gracefully balancing on the sidewalk edge
And we raced over the wet front lawn
Back into our home's comfort
Shouting out greetings like we left seven years ago.
