 Alone, lonely, single, and one..

All words that seem kinda sad!

Couple, double, twins, Two..

Words somehow seem not bad!

 

Hand in hand is always two

Husband and wife – a couple too

It takes two to tango – they say

Or two to celebrate – anyway

 

But, one is free

One is powerful

One is quite

And one is peaceful

 

Two is beautiful, so true

Nothing created without two

But to think there is no two

Without one to make it too!

  Today is very special in 2 entirely different ways – this day last year my Father passed away.. this is also the day when an adorable bundle came into my life 3 decades ago named Rohini .. my first born. Do we celebrate her birthday or should we mourn our loss? that is the dilemma we face today and every March 29 th going forward. I choose to celebrate my Dad’s life well lived (an absolute joy within the sadness) and my daughter’s life now to be enjoyed! (an absolute joy unblemished)! My father had said after he sent his 2nd daughter to America – that if he had another, he would not send her so far! Now, I can understand that sentiment! Love for them both know no bounds .. and that is all there is to it.. it is a pure, simple, joyful love & gratitude for what has been, what is and what will be!

  A  Lullaby - Aararo, Aa riraro! ( Who  are you? who will you be?) A baby comes into your arms! This precious treasure that is a gift unto you Who are you? You ask! Where did you come  from? Where have you been? This soul that has been entrusted to your  care. You are born to the mother to feed you You are born to a father to protect you You are born into a family to belong to If only we the adults take care of you A litmus test of our humanity Day in and day out This small human will test your patience This wriggling bundle will test your strength This loud helplessness will test your tenderness Are you up for the challenge? Are you up for this weight to be carried? Are you full of love? Compassion? Wonder? At this being? Look at those small perfect fingers Already gripping your heart so tight Look at those tiny feet Kicking up and against you Ready to jump off into the world Are you ready to catch her as she jumps? Are you rea...
