some sundays again

"For a long time it had seemed to me that life was about to begin - real life. But there was always some obstacle in the way. Something to be got through first, some unfinished business, time still to be served, a debt to be paid. Then life would begin. At last it dawned on me that these obstacles were my life." -- Fr. Alfred D'Souza do you realize that it's not the same as yesterday? no matter how many signs you look for, you may never notice... do you realize it sounded rather differently now? it is not as inspiring as that half remembered melody... how many more early mornings will you find yourself awaken? only to forget the dream that you wake up from... a big chunk of you wants to go back... retrace, do it over... but, alas! you can not remember the way. all you have is a map sketched in your mind, with landmarks familiar but distant... and your guides are gone, long before they gave you directions... poor little tourist, you are lost in the unfamiliar again... lost in thought.. in memory... but what is your memory -- half sentences hurriedly written on paper... spoken on walls, mumbled in the air... the vampires and gargoyles will always hover about... and they will feed on your fear... sucking out your energy... but only if you let them... do you remember when you were slightly braver? you didn't know how to swim but you jumped into the water and realized it was only knee deep. today, you are in a similar place... the sun's just a bit bright in your eyes which made you dazed for the moment... you'll be fine as you walk along... you can not search for the flash of lightning when you have the sun, you must not wait for the foghorn to signal the right moment because every moment is the right moment. run along now, this is your day... be blessed beyond belief! the photo from fave flickrfriend, b... super thanks, ulit, mike! :) last line from a fave twittergirl, s... a true inspiring soul... super thanks! :)
