Nandini

Nandini

You felt my pain
And made it your own

You felt my anger
And made it your own


Until one day
Your time had come to go

I felt your pain
And knew it was time
To let you go on to your last journey

Heavy lay your head in my hand
You amber eyes looking into mine

One last time you trusted me
As so often you did before

To do the right thing
To make you whole again

Go in peace my friend
Until one day
You will great me
At the rainbow bridge
Guiding me again

And I will trust you
Following your lead
As I had done so many times before

Life's Mysteries...

It has been some hectic few weeks, with the birth of my first grandson and then getting ill etc, etc... As exciting as it all was nothing prepared me for all these old memories of mine  to resurface, I thought I had put them nicely in a drawer and threw away the keys in typical Aquarius/Scarlett O'Hara style! ;) But boy oh boy did I remember, the good, the bad and the ugly... What did help me was writing it all down, trying to make sense of my emotions, acknowledging the memories and letting them go. It does help, writing it down that is, it brings order to a confused, upset mind and the emotions and the tears ..., well they do say cleaning is done with water... So a lot of cleaning/cleansing was done and my guess is that it never really ends, so I have my journals and my pen/cils ready for my daily pages, for any thoughts that cross my mind during the day and yes I do go for the jugular, no sense in going only halfway, isn't it?

Finding time to write

There is so much going on in our lives that we seem to think we don't have time to write, trust me you have time, 10 - 15 minutes a day is all you need. You could get up 10 minutes earlier in the morning, write in the bus, in the train, in your break, after lunch, after dinner, you WILL find time if you WANT to write, trust me. And always, always have a little notebook in your hand/bag, pocket or car. The other day driving to my hardware store, I had a strong sense of my late husband sitting next to me and as I was <talking> to him a few lines for a poem came to mind. I recited it over and over again until I could stop and write it down. Then I kept this little booklet of A6 in my hand, wrote down some more lines with my booklet on the bonnet of my car and  a some more while I was in the hardware store... Looking back it must have looked quite funny, but then again being at the hardware store one could imagine I was writing down my list... lol
