Chasing a dream......


I wandered lost, long enough
Until I thought I found myself.
It was a mirage, a trick well played,
The road I thought had closed, the peace I thought  was made.


From post to pole, from light to gloom,
No stone unturned, no chance taken,
You think you made it, you think you won,
Only to realise you are mistaken.


 
The eye, it sees what your mind shows-
The heart it feels what your soul speaks,
Life, love and labour lost;
Nothing gained at no cost!

A dream I chased, a goal I found.
Moving ahead in a new direction-
Life doesn’t stop at that for sure
It makes no promise, it doesn’t always assure!

For my part, I would just be glad that the act is done, I managed without injuries, I entertained and I did what was expected of me. The circus will repeat with the same act, But new audience, new place, new clowns, new ring master et al. Life is a circus and I am a trapez...

Happy to be creative

I am a left handed person and they say lefties are more artistically and creatively inclined. In my family I am the only one who has interest in crafts, arts and things like that. I am the happiest when I am creatively occupied. I like to get my creative juices flowing. I love sending out hand made cards and gifts. I love participating in contests that involve creativity. It may be a contest to come up with a name or with a tag line or anything like that. Who cares about winning. Participation is fun! When I see something I immediately know that I have to do something about it. I mean, I see an empty chocolate box and may feel like making a jewelery box out of it. I may see a nice gift wrapper and feel like making a book mark out of it. So when I saw a simple toran/ door hanging my niece made at her summer camp, my mind started ticking. I had to make one of my own. But when? It had been so long since I had made something like that. Now I hardly ever have the time. That is one of my per...
