Karma

"You look beautiful!" I said.
The unnatural black of her hair made her features look pale and delicate.

I want a traditional Tamil swing in my living room, hanging over my Athangudi tiled floor.
Is that really such a crazy idea?

Happiness

Contentedness

Obliviousness is bliss

They sit on self-appointed thrones judging others on the way they look and speak. Secure in their self absorption.
Oblivious to the fact that they themselves are objects of utter scorn.

A twink and an arrogant, obsequious lackey.

But she did

She needed to constantly remind herself that: She didn't have to try to fit in.
She didn't have to fake laugh when they made fun of people.
She didn't have to say things were fair when they weren't in the least.
She didn't have to sell something she didn't really believe in.

Love

I'm learning, slowly, to love again.
My dog is teaching me how.

Horrible

Am I? Aren't you?

Dream

This time, I was a young pup being set upon by other young pups the same age and size as me. They outnumbered me.
And then, I was holding a kitten. A kitten with a third eye that opened wide, like it had the cosmos in it. The kitten itself, had a cute, goofy look on its face.

For some unfathomable reason, I feel it's important to remember this dream.

Be Kinder

I recently told a couple of people that they had a special skill; it was that they had the ability to make other people feel good about themselves.
I thought about it and I think everybody has the potential to do this.
