Waves upon waves
Hit me
From behind
Dislodging me from my anchor
Setting me adrift
No lighthouse, no lifeboat
Time and again
The without
Lets me down
And yet I don’t learn
Yet I keep seeking
Expecting to be rescued
Maybe it is time to stop
To say enough
To stop trying
To let go
To accept
Alone

isn’t it time you learn to ride the waves and be your own anchor...why are you waiting for the knight ( what is the female versions called... is there a female version)in shinning armour to come and rescue you... and alone doesn’t necessarily mean lonely you know...
arre yaar...tu likhta kam hai, daraata zyaada hai.
aur sochta bahut zyaada hai...
thoda chill maar.
you never stop seeking, you just stop hoping. and you have not reached that stage yet methinks. and inshallah will not either.
and c h i l l a x
do that.
be happy with yourself.
think about what you have.
think about what more you can get.
think about how you can make yourself smile everyday...
light a dubey.
say boom.
Dunno if one can seek, and expect to be rescued. You dont seek for nothing. The only people adrift on the sea, lost that is, who find an anchor or a lighthouse are the ones who are never looking, or expecting to find one.
Just keep on at sea, and sailing. Waves are friends. Some hit you,some take you to where you want to go.
you are not alone. never ever. not from the first day when we spoke. not from the day we start at gariahat mod. not from the day we went on the ferris wheel. not from the day we spend friday night hanging out. not from the day we tried sending a telegram and begging the postman to delay it. not from the day we fought over who's soft board is better. not from the day i howled my head off and you had the miserable job of consoling me. not from the day you howled your head of and i had the miserable job of consoling you. not from the day you signed as witness. not from the day ... gosh i'm running outta space. but you are not alone. nevr ever. you are a part of me. a part of us. you are home. you are family. always. always. always.
Hey!
I have been an avid reader of your blog and have followed the ups and downs in your life with great empathy.
I am going through similar experiences… failed relationships, constant debates on 'alone' Vs 'with someone', what role do children play etc etc. But never have I felt so lonely as your latest blog expresses.. maybe because of some rules I have learnt to live by in life. They sound like truisms, yes, but they have helped me focus on the positive.. Maybe they’ll help you…
here they are
- Always focus on what you have, not on what you don’t have…
- Stop wanting, and if you deserve it, it will come to you… more you chase anything, farther it runs away from you.
- True happiness is within you, and you alone are responsible for your happiness even when you are with someone else.
Whenever I start feeling down, I drag myself out of the abyss and focus my mind on something positive or make myself busy in doing something. Remember, your feelings and emotions are all under your control, why waste your youth and healthy brain cells in depressing thoughts? Focus on the blessings, on activities, and on positive thoughts!
You are not alone. All you have to do is to reach out to people for friendship. As long as your mind is open to new experiences, and your eyes welcome new friends into your world with a smile, you will always have friends to spend your time with, friends to help you through crises in your life and to give you heartfelt advice.
and in the end.. (looking at the vein of comments on your latest write-up), by popular demand, your next blog should be on "things God has blessed me with "…go on, give positive thinking a go :-)
dear point of view,
that was wow! and something to live by.
thank you.
It is time to stop. Stop trying. To let go. To accept that alone just may be good. And alone together, if that. Bliss.
being alone is a state of mind
even in a world full of lovely friends, if one feels alone, then it is the satae of mind that needs to be worked on.
only man has the power to understand analyse and solve problems
aar katodin akta kobita bhangiye khabi... ebar arekta post kor!!
Hello! Thanks for your visit! Its been a while and you have probably forgotten ... you had left a comment on my blog a while back ... Very nice words in this post :)
In the early days of the Meiji era there lived a well-known wrestler called O-nami, Great Waves.
O-nami was immensly strong and knew the art of wresting. In his private bouts he defeated even his teacher, but in public was so bashful that his own pupils threw him.
O-nami felt he should go to a Zen master for help. Hakuju, a wandering teacher, was stopping in a little temple nearby, so O-nami went to see him and told him of his great trouble.
"Great Waves is your name," the teacher advised, "so stay in this temple tonight. Imagine that you are those billows. You are no longer a wrestler who is afraid. You are those huge waves sweeping everything before them, swallowing all in their path. Do this and you will be the greatest wrestler in the land."
The teacher retired. O-nami sat in meditation trying to imagine himself as waves. He thought of many different things. Then gradualy he turned more and more to the feeling of waves. As the night advanced the waves became larger and larger. They swept away the flowers in their vases. Even the Buddha in the shrine was inundated. Before dawn the temple was nothing but the ebb and flow of an immense sea.
In the morning the teacher found O-nami meditating, a faint smile on his face.
And that is all.
:-)
i totally agree with what Point of View says... reminds me of the old school hymn.. Count your blessings Name them one by one.
Count your blessings See what God hath done.. and like PoV..i'm waiting for u to share your blessings list on this space
life is never fair. when it is nice to you, it is just unfair in your advantage versus someone else :>
