And as we wind on down the road
Our shadows taller than our soul
There walks a lady we all know
Who shines white light and wants to show
How everything still turns to gold
And if you listen very hard
The truth will come to you at last
When all are one and one is all
To be a rock and not to roll
And she's buying a...
stairway to heaven...

All I Really Need to Know I Learnt in Kindergarten
* Share everything.
* Play fair.
* Don't hit people.
* Put things back where you found them.
* Clean up your own mess.
* Don't take things that aren't yours.
* Say you're sorry when you hurt somebody.
* Wash your hands before you eat.
* Flush.
* Warm cookies and cold milk are good for you.
* Live a balanced life - learn some and think some and draw and paint and sing and dance and play and work every day some.
* Take a nap every afternoon.
* When you go out in the world, watch out for traffic, hold hands and stick together.
* Be aware of wonder. Remember the little seed in the Styrofoam cup: the roots go down and the plant goes up and nobody really knows how or why, but we are all like that.
* Goldfish and hamsters and white mice and even the little seed in the Styrofoam cup - they all die. So do we.
* And then remember the Dick-and-Jane books and the first word you learned - the biggest word of all - LOOK.

Tuesday
Funny how moods swing sometimes
The day started with an unpleasant conversation replaying in the head. The voices went berserk. The railway crossing ensured that I was late. I walked with a thundercloud hovering over my head.
Mid-day. I receive Flashy Pink's work of art and I flip for it. She captured what I saw in my head in shades of green and yellow. The thundercloud had vanished.
All that school expected us to do was art, art and some more art. While cutting paper, the city welcomed the rain... Ah! maybe that's where the thundercloud went.
Simon and Garfunkel told me about things while I rode on the traffic stricken roads. The jams didn't bother me. It felt awesome to bring back the "sunshine" of my life.
I walked into the dining area and found a parcel.
When I write my list of "AWESOME", #1 would be the people in my life. A tall, mad, pretty, smart girl who loves stories and photographs will get a special mention. It's the least I can do for my "Perfect Chicken Wing Partner" Muchas gracias y amor! :)
That gift was the cherry on top.
My day was laced with happiness.

Labyrinth.
With the choices that come on a salver, sometimes all you need to do is give yourself a chance. Not make a complex structure out of it... That maybe it would work out. Just would.
Affirmation.
Fancy word that empowers. You believe because... you just believe. No two ways about it.
Serendipity.
The blue print of your life is sitting pretty somewhere. Everything happens for a reason. Don't fight the argument. And when you find yourself in a fortunate accident, don't fight that either.
