the moments pass....

Was reading "witch of Portobello" by Coelho. One of the characters say that "there is no time, only space. That is why it feels like yesterday." I so agree about time being the most fickle concept in the universe.
Sometimes a moment stretches to encompass an entire lifetime. You live , you breathe, you experience, you create…and then it ends, what is left unsaid can never be said now, what is left undone can never be done, because the moment passes ….
Or time itself stretches…and a day stretches out into an age…a life…a different existence..each second full of lovely thoughts, beautiful words, or tranquil languid blankness..each movement languorous, each look warm and your whole being full of the happy sense of well being that only contentment brings..

Sometimes a few months expand to fill your whole existence, you grow up, you see, you feel..you discover passion, and fear and love and trust and longing and pain and devotion and attachment and then pop the bubble bursts….it takes you an entire other lifetime to forget…or come to terms with…a lifetime akin to a train journey where ou are vaguely aware of passing milestones in a blur of motion…cant really see because you are not focused..its only a motion..but you are not moving…yet the journey is happening….and you live through years and years and years a life that is outwardly full and happy and serene and comfortable…and you achieve your dreams and become calmer. Life moves on so much; but definitely lesser that what it moved in the few months that you were alive…


Sometimes when a relationship breaks off, you think the heart will die, and like a dying plant, will shed all leaves but that does not happen. Its like a money plant, a new leaf blossoms even before the old one dies out. Sometimes half your guilt comes from the fact that you actually start enjoying life and it horrifies you to think you can, because you thought your heart/ feelings/ emotions/ self would die out. You will learn to live with it too Es, despite the six years…I will not say soon, because sooner or later are time concepts ..and that does not work for me…



yes Vee, I know this irks you…this whole “moment has passed” business that I keep dishing out….
