An idea, a thought, an anecdote, a story or a poem a day!

Somehow, after such a stormy start to the day, the afternoon had turned out to be very different. Yes, a contrast to the morning, and the previous evening.  After a lot of commotion, with her son stomping around angry and really upset with her, about the paper she had to sign, and she, lying down, crying and refusing to sign, or to get out of the room, suddenly it was quiet, so quiet that I doubted if anyone other than Babli, sitting on the chair outside in the veranda, was there in the house.  She had refused to sign the paper, that much I knew, but then what had happened, those details, I had no way of knowing, but this much, I had gathered that her son had gone back, yes back from where he had come!  And with him, gone was the heavy atmosphere; and suddenly there was a beautiful light and a peaceful silence.  Peaceful, as after days, Babli was sitting in the veranda, having a cup of tea.

    Let distance keep us together   It is so much easier to feel you, When I cannot see you, cannot touch you or smell you!   As when you are a far I can paint a perfect picture of you, and us, of our life! In it, I will be the love of your life; and you the life of my love …   And our life, an ad for eHarmony Our love - a Facebook post   Please let's not zoom nor WhatsApp ! It will be much more delicious to think of you,   Please let’s not phone each other! It will be much more poignant to speak to you/listen to you, Through the silence between us Heard melodies are sweet, but those not heard, are sweeter!

  Sweet, yet so subtle, the sound of silence, each stem of a thought, vibrating like a full board of keys, each note more minute than the point of a pin, to be heard subtly -  just like the idea in the mist that 'my car vipers can sing,  the moving fingers in the silence of rain'  you get lost, you forget what you know, who you are!
