Notes

We are all lost in some way or another
on the road to home.
Some are still searching.
Some fall apart along the path.
Only a few ever find it.

I hope you do.

The main issue in life is not having clarity about what you want. Without clarity, you can’t focus on the things that matter.

Without focus, you will be distracted by countless things and the noise around you. These distractions will affect every decision you make. Over time, this can cause you to lose yourself and your dreams.

To achieve your dreams, you need laser-sharp focus. But focus begins with clarity. First, define what your dreams are. A simple way to start is by writing them down.

Create a clear, intentional list of what you want to achieve in life. Then, commit to focusing only on what truly matters.

until he kissed her
for the first time.

Yes, because they will carry you in their art pieces. If they are a writer, they will hide you between the lines of their favorite poems or stories. If they are a photographer, you will be in their photos forever. If they are a musician, they will blend you into the rhythm. If they are a painter, they will add you into the corners of their canvas. And the list goes on.

You will be forever engraved in their art, sometimes in plain sight, sometimes hidden. When others see the art, the artist will see you.

We will meet again
in an unknown universe,
where I am the wizard,
and you, my witch
where I will cast
the most divine spell:
“Tvayi prema karomi.”

Beneath the raining stars,
We will fall in love again,
after a million lifetimes.

After my eyes grew tired, I stepped outside the office to relax. I stood there for a while and noticed these plants growing in the middle of the desert and they brought me a sense of peace.

I don’t want a thing
on Saturday mornings
just my favorite songs
playing low.

I don’t want to leave the bed,
just stay there,
holding you tightly,
all day long.

Let me sit cross legged,
tea in one hand,
and you in the other
sipping both,
slowly.
