I missed blogging all these days. My fingers were impatient to write. But I was not sad, just enjoying the first days of married life, adjusting to living with someone, caring for someone and thinking about the needs of someone else other than myself. I am an impatient girl. But marriage is teaching me patience and softness. I did not care for somebody else's opinion as long as what I felt and said was right. But now I am learning how to be careful with spoken words so that they don't hurt somebody. My ego has taken a backseat and my love the driver's. I guess there are always so many things to learn from others in a lifetime.
“ What is the feeling when you're driving away from people, and they recede on the plain till you see their specks dispersing? It's the too huge world vaulting us, and it's goodbye. But we lean forward to the next crazy venture beneath the skies.” -- Jack Kerouac (American Poet and Novelist) From what I have seen and admired in humans, they are eternal optimists. Goodbyes seem to break us, but we straighten up and walk, holding our head high, blinking away our tears. And as regards the specks of people dispersing, when something moves away, something else comes near. Guess that's how laws of nature move. If a time comes when nothing else comes near, it's when we will become really alone; alone to live and love life without any reason, taking the next step forward.
... if only one could throw the Ego altogether out of the window and let the Love be the driver, conductor & cleaner forever ... :)
