Saathiya

These past few weeks I have started paying more attention to the mundane.. the seemingly unimportant.. the "what really doesn't mean much but has just always been there"...

With each passing day I realize more and more how little time I have left..

To look at the trees lining my lane.. how some of them shed their leaves every year and then spring back to life and then some that just stay comfortingly constant.. to look at the staircase in my house that has served its purpose for the past 10 yeas.. to cuddle all the bears and other stuffed friends... to admire the lush creeper that grows outside my room window and how it blossoms beautifully with tiny white and pink flowers and the hundreds of little birds who have built their nests in it... to sit on my little built in couch... to critically measure the symmetry with which I have hung the red, green and yellow lanterns in my room.. to walk through a driveway which leads to my house.. to just plonk myself somewhere and wish for a glass of frothy slightly bitter sweet cold coffee and have it magically materialize in front of my eyes.. to breathe in the pure night air... too see the same stars embracing the same moon...

But wait... These stars.. the moon... the air I breathe those are going to follow me no matter where I go... those seemingly mundane things that I have been trying to cherish more and memorize over the past few weeks... They're not all being taken away from me... some of them will be mine.. will walk with me.. for eternity... and that makes me realize thats its kind of the same thing with certain people.. Thats it then I guess.. knowing that somethings and some people don't leave you.. they're with you for life.. in good times and bad.. They are the constants...

So every time I think of my constants.. those hearts that beat just like mine no matter the physical distance and the memories and dreams that link us... I'll look out into the inky blue night take a deep breath... and thank that higher power for putting those constants in my life... and every time I see my meta physical constants - my heavenly friends I'll know that even though I can't... they can see my home.. my people.. and I can vicariously live through them.. I guess I'll be closer to home than I think..
