When Smile Reaches The Eyes

-

 Life. It is a journey and what a journey it is! 

Tragic in its seriousness and funny in its triviality

We search to discover meanings within, from truths we find outside, their nature unique 

Either disappointed or jubilant, our mind lingers in differences

This difference between inside and outside, of what was and what is, as such, 

 ... a continuous dialogue between ourselves flows; in between the soul and the body. In between truth and feelings, it envokes.

As such the truths change but feeling remains

 Without words; in the language of life and its silent undercurrents

A harmonious rhythm propels us, our soul and body symbiotic, as we wade through the chaos of the world, together.


What does the mind do?

It thinks as it should but it is the heart that talks. It is not the physical but that transcendental heart that houses the humane soul, from where kindness spring forth naturally 

As naturally as the smile when we wake up full of hope for the coming day

As naturally as the smile where we learn lessons from blunders when we adventure forth seeking new opportunities during the day

As naturally as the reassuring smile which we take in from our other half; warm, fuzzy, and cuddly; making all the weariness disappear magically at the end of the day

This feeling is not only about me, alone, 

This feeling is about all of us, at some point in time, 

the memory may be different but the feeling is true

This feeling compels us to share about ourselves, with strangers; the mundane story of our days

with passion, we never knew, with the inspiration of awakening

The Soul slumbers no more, the spirit steers

When Smile Reaches The Eyes...

Who am I? The question of existence...

Before assigning a gender given by nature (or changed later) or a name by your parents (biological or otherwise), why not delve deeper for once, and truly ask yourself. " Who am I...?" Here are some inspirations for the inquiry to be as meaningful as intended: Time Time is the witness of history, light-bearer of truth. It is the only power that can give justice to the I,  defining in the entirety of what I was, as I am cannot fully recall even my obscure genealogy including what I will be, my pedigree... "I was..."  A sum of memories of past; success and failures both, of happiness and sadness and boredom in-between, I was once naïve and young yet I remember those times most, for they are unburdened by the questions when time takes all the innocence and the world wants us to take responsibility for ourselves "I am..." Present, fully immersed in the reality of 'now'. I relive my past and can laugh at its foolishness. I make plans for my 'future&

About Love

Strip away all the comforts of civilization and step away from all of its conformities. You will find me contemplating, both physically and mentally exhausted, confused in solitude: “ What is love?” “If there is a heart beating next to yours despite all the vagaries life weights you with, then that lightness of being, the feeling of glad vulnerability is perhaps the closest thing to true love” “To be known for all the right reasons despite being so wrong, is it love?” The world fades away in a blur and I am forgetful of things that are present. Yet, I remember things I should not have forgotten … you see love is the magnet to draw forgotten memories and a powerful catalyst of change in your life. It motivates us to be civilized, and find the middle ground, as it brings the thing called “should/could” into our lives, and we start to feel empathy for the less fortunate and be more forgiving. Being civilized means having the ability to survive and to be able to think for someone whom we

The Quest of Love

  Intro One of my respected instructors informed me of an attitude in which normal everyday events may be perceived as quests. Be it simply an ordinary occasion or a thrilling one, through perceiving it as a quest, we see the world we constantly traverse through, for at the least once, differently, recognize its salient functions and be self-inspired to place plans into action. for example; waking up early, finish off the to-do lists, ta-da! a stealthy kiss good-bye to an irritated partner prior to hurrying to work, etc., etc. Quest; simply means the search for something which is meaningful, but quite tough for the present 'me' or 'us' to achieve. Yet this limitation only exists in our mind. With discipline, followed by consistent willpower, and herculean effort, that supposed difficulty can be chipped away if not in an hour or days or even weeks, then years if it is necessary to do so. "Improvise, Adapt and Overcome" With this in the mind, we put efforts into
