And a woman who held a babe against her bosom said, “Speak to us of Children.” And he said: Your children are not your children. They are the sons and daughters of Life’s longing for itself. They come through you but not from you, And though they are with you, yet they belong not to…

IF – Rudyard Kipling
If you can keep your head when all about you Are losing theirs and blaming it on you, If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you, But make allowance for their doubting too; If you can wait and not be tired by waiting, Or being lied about, don’t deal in lies, Or being…
In a blink…
Life changes constantly. Gradually, slowly, fast, suddenly. Nothing is permanent. People change. As I was pondering over something that was bothering me one night, I started reading some positive quotes and came across this one that made sense to me at this point of time.

Re-paint…
Paintbrushes so brittle and soft, Dash on a palette of colours so new. Colours splash on a wide huge canvas, Captures shades of bright, faded and new. I wish Life could be re-painted, Start afresh with colours anew. If I could paint the marks and scars, I would regain friendships too. I would paint sunshine…
Tulips
As the Tulips unfold a calm surrender, To the soothing colours of purple-blue. I rest my head to this beautiful sight, Embracing this pattern where I stood. The soft satin petals comfort the hand, As it sways with the wind to and fro. It’s gentle stems stay straight and firm, As the tulips twirl and…
