Random thoughts

So its been one of those random days for me where thoughts seem to be coming from nowhere..

I was just thinking, shadows are the not the most loyal are they.. They follow you when its bright and sunny.. and are first to leave you when darkness starts settling in..

Wax, an inanimate object.. yet so giving.. It keeps melting away to keep the flame burning.. to make things brighter for someone… till the very last drop.. ya that is its’ purpose.. but yet I was thinking that maybe this is something to learn…

While reading a friends’ poem about the urn that carries away the ashes of the dead.. how one life, one body, one existence get encompassed in that one clay vessel.. to signify the end of one journey.. or maybe start another..

My roommate’s best friend told her.. Life has in ‘IF’ in it.. I just thought that was ironic..

Is there anything else in the world that has the universal application of flowers.. Used on happy occasions and sad.. when babies are born or when someone dies.. In garlands used to put on a deity and in the deity’s feet..

The difference between ordinary and extraordinary is just that word ‘extra’ .. that little bit extra effort, extra courage, extra determination..
