Day 1 of the Year is already over in this time zone while the sun just ascended somewhere.
This year, sequestering from tradition, we went out. We did the countdown to midnight amongst a bunch of strangers - in the time and moment - united by the affability of humanity.
This year, once again deviating from the norm, the day was spent with Nirvaan; enjoying CATS, shopping, grooming, eating out and evening run. All very mundane yet meaningful in ways, things.
A 10 yo is a delightful and a very chatty company.
This year, pivoting off course from the set ways of self sufficiencies and shyness; we (my ego, shadow and I) unspooled the thread of magnanimity for self, finally!
There's a power in the knowledge that one, whilst operating within the guard rails of jaded rationality, is still capable of untutored fearlessness of future and be in the now.
Just exist. Live every breath as a listener of the energy within and without.
This cozy nook here has been my cyberhome for 15 years now - as I begin the sensational sixteenth year - the age of debutantes and romance, the age of rebelling and discovery, the age which defines the rest of the lifetime. The age to fall in love with the abandon, only youth know.
I want to take a heartbeat stop and thank all of you! Those few of you, who have been friends, encouraging and nurturing me, over the years with your love and comments
(i know, i have begun the moderation and curation now - the perils of being open in any public space is to open yourself to opinion of others - and whilst everyone is entitled to their opinions - am entitled to put safety latches on my space and continue to be me) and a few of my unsuspecting offline friends and family on whom i keep imposing the link to this space off and on.
A big thank you for reading, appreciating,
critiquing and telling me i am good and can be better.
That's all one needs to know - that one can do and be better.
One can evolve interminably.
Wishing all of you, an interesting 2020!
