“You will lose friends, you will lose lovers. You will lose comfort, but if, in losing them, you find yourself, you have gained more than kings.”
— Marcus Aurelius
Stop automatically thinking you're bad at things.
Replace the thought with "This is new to me".
Give your brain the space to learn instead of shut down.
Wedding anniversary yesterday.
We spent it looking at screens.
Reels and videos. At some point I said "I need to go write about all of this or I'm going to go insane". She told me 'yes you do". I wrote. We ate some food. We looked at more screens, more videos. We have hope. It's hard to explain for two people who have faced a storm, had our lives ripped to shreds, and rebuilt together. We have sympathy, we are concerned, we walk around the room going "what is even happening here?"....but under all of it...hope. Big big hope.
असली जिंदगी जमीं के पास ही है
गाओं में
कुदरत के पास
मिट्टी की खुशबू वाली
गोबर से लिपि झोपड़ी में
बाकी सब दिखावा है,
आना आखिर में सबका बुलावा है
लोग जी रहे हैं यहां पैसे के लिए,
कौन जी सका है पर हमेश��� के लिए
कुछ पल तो निकालो कुदरत के साथ, खुद के लिए,
आखिर कौन जी सका है यहां हमेशा के लिए
मन शांत न हो तो
सब दिखावा है,
आखिर में आना सबका बुलावा है....
श्रद्धांजलि नाना को ❤️
