The thousandth post, I am told, though it's just a collection :) If anyone's been reading this blog, I hope you sometimes found lines that brought you joy, comfort, perspective. And those who did reach out, left comments, tried to know me more, showed appreciation - while there is still time - thank you so much. In a world where reciprocity is so hard to come by, you filled my glass to overflowing.
"All that is not given, is lost". Indeed.
Ode To Enchanted Light
Pablo Neruda
Under the trees, light
has dropped from the top of the sky,
light
like a green
latticework of branches,
shining
on every leaf,
drifting down like clean
white sand.
A cicada sends
its sawing song
high into the empty air.
The world is
a glass overflowing
with water.

We are reading, we are reading! Many of your posts have opened new doors. Thanks a lot for that.
Love reading your posts Asha! Must admit that there are times when I dont understand some of the stuff that you share. But that does not deter me :)
Do keep writing! Thanks!!
Perhaps the best thing about this blog is that it's a carefully and thoughtfully curated collection where we find our moments of little wonder, sometimes melancholy, and often joy. Thanks, Asha.
Congratulations :) Although it feels as if a diary I've kept dear has just overflowed. It's a joy knowing you and reading from you. Thank you so much. Wish you the best.
Once again, I am grateful to life... for keeping my eyes open when i stumbled across people like Rukhiya :) - who had her own eyes open when she stumbled across Asha!

Asha, you know not how much of your blog gets quoted by me, in converse, on social websites, in solitude. May you be blessed!
:)
