THE SOJOURN

When life goes stagnant you start looking for trouble to stir it up. Maybe not to a point that would drive you crazy but enough to swing you back into the race. Make calls that are totally unplanned and agree to anything without even considering the consequences. For a moment you have lost whatever it was that made you ticked. You are being drowned by the unbearable silence of the naked mind.You don`t become the usual self that you are and always have been. Funny how sometimes you admire the peace and quiet of the sojourn then all of a sudden you just hate it.

THE WIND OF WAR

                                          A Town By The Sea - ( a sketch from my early journal )

Prepare arms for the battle. It is just around the corner. Sweat if you must. Be prepared to lose some of the things that are close to you. Do not be scared and don`t ever let your spirit down. This is not the time to listen to the devil`s whispers. Now is the time to slowly leave your hard to break habits. Be in control and stay put. Concentrate on self restrain and don`t lose your head. There`s a wind of war in the air. You can feel it looms closer and closer. Sleep while the moon still glows it`s light. Conserve your energy for the fight. This is going to be another "winner takes all" brawl. God willing we shall overcome every enemy at the door and emerge victorious.

THE DAY I LAID EYES ON YOU

That day was the happiest day of my life. That was the day I laid eyes on you for the first time. I didn`t understand it all until that moment came. There you were with your eyes softly shut and your dreams full of innocence. I had so many things on my mind that I wanted to say to you. Show you things and make you smile. Until that day I didn`t know that something in this reality could actually have the awesome power to change me into a whole different being. Defined the meaning of love so purely without a speck of doubt. That was the moment I understood the reasons for almost all of my existence.

THE TIME TRAVELLER`S MESSAGE

I know that you would read this message but would NEVER take this seriously.

Don`t ask me how. If I tell you the truth at this point, you just wouldn`t believe it. Do not follow the intuition that you frequently experience, telling you to do the things that you think would lead you to the ultimate perfect answer. You are wrong. Dead wrong. It would be better if you end it right now even though everything seems perfect up till this moment. The thing is that you don`t see the mistakes that you make because the whole situation seems right. You are in a huge dome of error that is ultimately blinding you and is impossible for you to see the outside. It`s like a ship that is perfectly cloaked right in front of you and by the time it`s uncloaked, it`d be too late to turn back. You don`t see it now but you will when you get there.

I`m writing this message because it`s the only thing that I`m able to do even though I know how futile my action is. You don`t know how hard it is for me to leave this note for you to stumble upon while arranging the correct sequences to avoid the dreaded paradox.

However futile this action of mine is, having seen already the decision that you are going to make. Still I believe that things can be changed at the very last tick. That is a fact that I`ve had the privilage to witness in the past or future or whenever for that matter my friend. Forgive me if I sound a bit confused here. Blame it on my internal clock.

Anyway just be forewarned and good luck my friend.

THE LITTLE PEOPLE

Lay flat on your back and look up the ceiling. Hands by your side. Focus on one point and just pretend that your clockwork self is taking a break. Don`t move. Don`t even twitch. Pretend that the little people who`ve been working inside your body all these while are taking one long vacation. They are slowly leaving your body one by one.They are making their way out of your body through the ends of your fingers. Don`t look. Stay focus on the ceiling. That`s it. Don`t be afraid now and don`t panic. Slowly you start to feel numb all over your legs and arms. There`s no one left to move the muscles in your body. All the little people there are gone. You feel nothing there. Now only the ones working in your head are left. They too are packing up their bags.Your eyes become heavier and heavier as one by one they walk out through the ends of your hair. Soon your eyelids start to shut. Darkness falls except for the light of your mind.You don`t feel your body anymore but do not be afraid. All the little people are gone by now. Only the few last ones. They are the ones who`ve been lighting up your mind. Tell them to go as well. If they bribe you with sweet memories and bedtime stories just kick them out the window. Usually they are the stubborn ones or the workaholics and would do anything to stay. Tell them to go. It`s vacation time. See nothing. Say nothing. Hear nothing. Feel nothing. Fly!
