Finally, I bid farewell to the sun of 2017 with black coffee, cookies and poetry. Perfect!
Dubai is aiming for another world record tonight. Last time I went. Getting there was ridiculously taxing but the fireworks was worth the hassle.
This time I wanted to go. But for some reason I cant.
Well
You can’t have everything. There is always opportunity cost involved.
There is something amazing that happened to me during this entire phase.
I have never felt this close to my own soul. My own being.
I never dared to experiment and explore my own potential in terms of art and writing with this perseverance.
When I was working on Silence. I was blending the pastels and turned my hand and saw this..
For a moment I felt I dipped my hand in galaxy. It was surreal.
There is so much more in the world beyond the meagre boundaries or materialism.
Beyond manβs obsession with power and control and his urge to prove the world his worth.
When life is on a break already why not just look around admire the view.
So thats what I did today.
Admired the last sunset of the day. With what I love.
Wrote a little declaration of love to my coffee
There is something bitter sweet
About black coffee
With a spoon full of vanilla sugar
Sweetness battling the bitterness
Both holding their grounds
Teasing my taste buds
With comforting warmth
And devilish grin
As it seeps into my heart
Just like this sinking sun
Solacing me in silence…..
Let me share something with you from the same poetry book I was reading.
With this I pray we all have wonderful year ahead brimming with joy, love, wellbeing, peace, comfort and contentment.
Happy new year to you and yours.
You guys know I love and treasure you all, donβt you?? π
