orchids....

nature just constantly has me thinking 'wow'...

and those who are able to capture the essence of it, amaze me even more...

and the hardest part...

And the hardest part…
Was watching you come back… not walk away…
It was the hardest part
And the strangest thing…
Was wondering where to begin…
It was the strangest thing….

I could feel the tears go down…
Bittersweet I could taste in my mouth…
Watching you walk towards me…
Oh, and I,I wish that I could work it out

And the hardest partwas walking forward… not running away…
You really hurt me bad
And I tried to let it go
But I couldn’t find how
And that was the hardest part…

Everything I know is wrong
Everything I do it just comes undone
And everything is torn apart
Oh and that's the hardest part
That's the hardest part
Yeah, that's the hardest part
That's the hardest part

One of my favorite coldplay songs that I’ve re-written!!
Caution: its not very singable…

art exhibition...

The x’mas exhibition is over… and a strange sort of relief mixed with sadness seeped into me this morning… got up with a sense that I had no more art to work on today… and no more Sunday projects with the kids… no more targets that we all work hard towards…
All of yesterday, it was surreal as an image… every art work being picked up brought back so many memories and I found that they were all priceless… how do you put a tag on an experience… on moments spent laughing and getting close…
And I did not want to look upset… and then there were these 3 bright beaming faces showing guests about, rejoicing when a canvas they painted sold… and how could I be anything but thrilled at their joy… kids who gave of themselves so easily while I tried to hang on to the moments like a fist that can never hope to hold water…
A wonderful day… I left with this sense of being a very very rich person.. not for the huge bag of money we made, but all that I was given so generously…
This remains an experience that I shall never try to ever equate with another…

How much can change in a year… she could not shake that thought out of her head… was not sure what triggered those thoughts… but they nagged at her and she tried to avoid it but gave in…
So many people she’s had the chance to get close to and understand… so many people that are off her radar, never to find a spot in her life again… so many words that she can take back… so many words she can’t un-hear… feelings felt… emotions spilled… so many moments lived… all the fleeing… the hiding… a year of so much…
So many doors still to explore…
