Looking for the shades of life

It’s not about you versus me
It’s not even just about us
It’s not about us versus them
It’s just about having some trust

See the world from a happy place
Stand for the truth
Stand for your view
Learn to stand at your own pace

Truth and lies
Good and bad
Happy and sad
White and black

I’m looking for that shade of grey
That blends between two worlds
I’m trying to show you colours can mix
I’m trying to help us paint our world


It’s easy – then again I guess it could be difficult. It’s all about how you want to view things. That’s a cliché I know and I usually don’t like to get banal enough to use clichés but sometimes, a cliché is all you have.

We all seem to have our world defined, how we like it, how it should be and how it really is. All the lines are drawn. But somehow, when you step back you realise, there are too many lines, and in isolation, they may make sense, but as a whole, it’s a maze of inter twined threads.

Hum of the day:

How often does one think of life as a journey to fight the world, to win, to get ahead – the list is long. I may be very simplistic, but to me, life is not a war or battle ground. It’s just life. I want to live it, not fight it. I want to live like I learnt to in kindergarten on simple rules. The world is a good place. People are good. We all play together. We have our friends but that does not make anyone an enemy. We don’t judge, we don’t hold grudges. We live by the heart and risk everything. But we live.
