And then it dawned!

I looked at those sinful eyes!
I knew it was not them but me that wanted to be led.
There is a charm in seeing you tease.
Just as there is beauty in how you can lose yourself
I have never seen anyone be "one" as you did with your love
That moment made me empty and complete
It was that moment that hit me!
Alluding to what possibilities exist
I knew then, what I was missing all this while!

Of longing and life!

Longing they say rouses desire
Owning the art of possession.
Dreaming creates realities you long for.
Knowing always leads to doubt!

It is not enough to long or own
Dream or know!
It is "dealing with" that after all defines
One life from another.

I guess I ramble on with each day. Something that struck my mind today is a quote I read:

Absence sharpens love, presence strengthens it.
-- Benjamin Franklin

Laws of attraction? Or rules of faith!

Rules they say are rules. When a bunch of intellectuals delve deep into them, contemplate and after years of analysis ratify a rule, it might just turn into law. Someone told me, we are a society which needs a construct, a boundary to actually co-exist. So in some ways the construct and the boundary are imposing on our choices. So are we existing within a bunch of rules or do we just live in the confines of law? In someways it is an anti-thesis of freedom. Somehow the world and statistics seem to rule our lives. Majority individuals agree to one way and that becomes a norm, slowly it becomes an unwritten rule and soon it will become law. Can I be different from the rest of the world? Yes apparently, only if there is no law that I cant be different. I wonder if Buddhism started against law or if Nirvana was a way of accepting laws without question or conforming without question because after all one would be outside of that sphere of influence in their minds at least!

Anyways all I know is that I am glad law makers are not breaking their heads right now about how many blogs I can or cannot type today or actually determining when is a good time to get home. Though they have made it harder for most of us to stay out later in the night. I know law in Mumbai of some sort said people cant hold hands and sit on Marine drive. Was that a rule or a law or just the policeman's point of view I wonder. For now, I know that law or otherwise, I stand for freewill, a free mind and freedom. Of course the assumption I make is that freedom of self does not deter freedom of another. The biggest flaw of my theory I guess. I did break a law today and jumped a red signal. But I also did not rule out the possibility of being fined for it. I did tell myself I shall not do so again! Sometimes one can stand for the right and be left behind! Or one might leave and just be right about it. I am not a quitter or an abider or a law breaker. I am just figuring out with each day, how life should be led and my life this far makes me head towards my next choice or next idea in my head about how my day should be. For all those of you who make laws and rules, I think its a lot of hardwork! Do work hard, whilst I hope to catch some sleep.
