The Past, haunting
The Present, taunting
The Future, daunting
Notwithstanding
Beyond the faulting,
the wanting, the flaunting
I know I will, one day, find a place worth halting.

Epiphany
Holding on when letting go is less painful
Letting go when holding on is more gainful
These inhibitions… confusions… decisions!

strong minds survive
trusting hearts revive
wise souls forgive

To remain centered when cornered
may you daily grow
Head held high through life’s lows
May you flow

Notion #11: There is no gene for the human spirit
There is no gene for the human spirit.
– Gattaca
There will be times when rationality dictates us to abandon pursuit of our innermost dreams lest we perish in the journey forward. We will console ourselves saying we weren’t meant to be or that we weren’t cut out for this or that life isn’t fair. But sometimes, you got to do the impossible to achieve the unattainable. And that includes “keep trying”.
The movie Gattaca is one of those rare gems that is a tribute to the indomitable human spirit. It successfully presents the story of the struggle of the unwavering endurance of the human spirit to reach for its dreams against the fragile limitations of the human body and the unfairness of life itself.
The scenes below, I think, sum up the essence of the struggle we all go through in life, time and again, and the decisions we take reflected in both the brothers: Anton & Vincent.
We might have everything going for us but if we don’t expect the best out of ourselves we’ll live up to only those expectations. On the other hand, we might have everything going against us, but if we keep believing in ourselves and our potential for achieving greatness, one day things will take a turn for the better.
There is no weakness that our resolve cannot beat. Overcoming ourselves is the first step to the path to living a life without regrets. Don’t settle for something just because the world says so.
Follow your bliss, wholeheartedly, single-minded.
You are limited only by your imagination.
Stare life in the eye,
even Gods must blink
someday.

Happening
Fumbling, Rumbling,
After my dreams I went, tumbling!
Grumbling, Trembling,
My hopes, I saw them crumbling!
***
I keep stumbling and bumbling and stumbling
I keep mumbling:
Why must life be so jumbling?
To make living, humbling
Whispers an inkling!

Feel
Hot tears trickling down my cheeks
Parched ground underneath my feet
Hard metal clanging in my head
Neck deep in raging seas
***
If only I could I feel
the wind against my face
the sand under my feet
the rain on my hands outstretched
the violin tugging my soul’s chords
If only I could just feel!
***
I’d know it’s not the end of the world
It’s OK to feel, It’s OK to be human.
Hell is what is, Heaven is what I make of it.

Pixie
She was not rich. She was not pretty.
She was told she was no princess.
Not once, not twice.
So many times; she lost count.
***
She was to tie her hair if she were to go out,
even if it were with a ragged old cloth.
She was ten. She was her pen.
Click click went the scissors nibbling her hair,
trade off for the wings she never had.
***
Now a lifetime, she floats
in her ridiculous hair
fluttering every where
like she never cares.
The world at her doors.

Wings
On my way back home, I saw
A crow with broken wings
As I stood pitying the poor wretch
Hoppity-hop went the merry raven
Waltzing across the bustling road.
***
On my way back home, I watched
A crow with unfettered spirit
I stood awestruck by a simple truth
Pitter-patter went my feet,
Skipped a beat, did my heart.
***
With wings of faith and will,
Take flight into the sky high!
Broke I may be, never broken.

In reality, all men are sculptors, constantly chipping away the unwanted parts of their lives trying to create their idea of the masterpiece.
