Has it happened to you?

It's cloudy ... its windy ..is it going to rain?? oh gloomy day....and all of a sudden the sun emerges out and lo! you have your whole surrounding swathed in its warm sunshine...
So very like that, your mood is in the dumps, depressing weather to top it, but all of a sudden you remember someone, recollect something and without realising you are smiling...:) One moment you are feeling in great despair and the next moment something happens that makes the world look beautiful, bright and happy.
Now that is what I call magic! :)

---excerpt from the book "Thin Ice Skater"

....‘A man who doesn’t initiate is no man at all,’ he often tells me. ‘That’s what life is all about.’... ‘Maybe I’m initiating by standing still,’ I tell him. ....‘Standing still is passivity,’ he says. ‘It takes nothing to stand still. We stand still when we are born and we stand still when we die.’ ....‘Maybe it takes more courage to stand still when everybody’s on the move,’ I tell him.”

[Verse] When words fail..

I fail to find the words
that describe how i feel
An expectant foolscap awaits
while the pen bleeds

The mind meanders through thoughts
leading them to places shunned
Fruity margarita or a martini
While can make no amend

Why does the heart rale
When words fail..
