The journey called LIFE

Life is a journey, a unique and personal experience. It's a fusion of flavors, emotions, memories, feelings, frustrations, dreams, hopes and aspirations caught up in time, space, energy, life, death, rebirth. Have you ever asked yourself this question? What is my purpose in life? What is my mission? Do I have one? Or am I just like a dead leaf floating on air. In as much as I try to be poetic about my writing, I cringe and self mutilate at the thought of myself creating an effort by being anything substantial or relevant. I often shoot myself in the foot by attempting to put some order to things that I 'think" have power over. Then a sense of foreboding enters my subconscious kicking myself in the brain with harsh words that cut deep. And as I feel the blood oozing out of the deep self inflicted cuts that I give myself. I often wonder at the capacity of flavors and sentiments that one can embrace. Often wondered at the resiliency of a woman to handle such pain as childbirth. Amazed by the flashing of worm holes that open and close revealing tiny bits of memory from a previous life. The choices that we make to reach a certain goal then what?! I, you, we, they, our, them, who again? Are expected to conform to some semblance of measurement for sanity's sake. What if I don't measure up to anything, am I supposed to? Choices, choices what if I don't want to?! A God overseeing everything? A higher sentient being that created everyone? Is this supposedly a pre-programmed app in every soul that whenever afflicted by a virus all we have to do is to reset it to it's "factory settings"? How convenient! Like everyone else, I struggle, I flourish, I fail, I succeed, I dream, I aspire, I inspire and when the need arises, I too can reboot. But my journey is my own....

RUNNING OUT OF TIME

Time is a precious commodity that most of us tend to disregard. We often equate money as valuable let alone the things that we can possess by the mere convenience of having an abundance in our possession. But if one carefully looks deep into our existence, one can safely deduce that time is what we are all chasing after. Let me digress here. When one is born, the very first markings of the "birthdate" is a time stamp. Major milestones in a persons life follow suite. First communion, first love, first date, first kiss, first heartache all time bound.
 A rich man who is dying of cancer can afford the latest medical treatment, he is buying time just to extend his life. When we reflect in times of sorrow and miss all the people whom we love but have all passed on, we would always wish that we had more time with them?
Thinking about topics, plots, story lines, agendas, projects, missions, events, experiments, strategies. Time is an important component in the success of these.
Would you like some more time, asks a teacher to his students? Yes please with sugar on top!
Are you running out of time? I wouldn't know. It's sort of a delicious mystery since I haven't passed on yet, and I wouldn't want to cheat it so I will just go on dancing with it rather than fighting against it.
Modern technology in its bold attempt to create a convenient world, challenges time by cutting everything in half with just a "click" of a button.
In the past, I have been chasing the wrong things by burying myself with work and brushing aside people and events in my life because I was too busy or I did not have time. I would like to say just to probably give me some tangible piece of mind that I have awakened to the the importance of the phrase "thank you for your time". Time is the most precious gift one can give. Once you give it, you can never get it back. Everything has its place in time and space. Time is in every component of a Beginning, Duration, End. The thought of reversing it by anything scientific is just an illusion. And if the theories are correct, there will be deep consequences to it. 

So, the next time someone asks me; What time is it? My response would be, it's time to start living...
