I think to myself, What a wonderful world !!

It's almost the end of the year and nostalgia sets in. :) Looking back, my only thoughts were, How far I've come !! How strong and resilient I was !!! And I'm absolutely proud of myself. :)

Getting lost in the books is easy. Getting out of them is difficult. Like love... Like  loss. You totally lose the track of time. You do not know how much time passed. But you simply breathe, move on, healing slowly but surely, eventually.

And one day, suddenly that glimmer of light comes by, without your notice. And the whole world looks bright again, as if the darkness of the skies slowly melted into the starry nights. And there you are, a silent spectator, feeling grateful for this one and only beautiful life. Who knows, if there is another life or not !!!

There are so many people on this planet praying for this life you have. :) :) So  cherish it, live it and love it as much as possible. :)

Finished writing about one of my favourite authors today, and now the question is "What to read next ?" 

I'm feeling a sort of unspeakable joy and contentment these days and this evening reminds me of these beautiful Hesse's lines.

"" What in me was once gentle, sweet and tender

this world has ridiculed to death.

But my true self cannot be murdered.

I am at peace and reconciled.

I grow new leaves with patience

from branches hacked a hundred times.

In spite of all the pain and sorrow

I'm still in love with this mad, mad world.""
