India 2016 – By The Sea (Hello 2017)

Welcoming 2017 with memories of 2016.

For 2 weeks in December, the parents and I spent time at the “usual spot”. Kerala, India. Between a stretch of backwaters and the Arabian Sea.

I am convinced that only when we disconnect can we truly connect.

 

Rainy Day Friend

I’m only on “friendly” terms with it because it was on the other side of my window – the “right” side. Probably wouldn’t have felt so friendly towards it if it had been on the “left”.

Letting Go

Perhaps life gives us
Burdens of existence
So that
Like the river at it’s lowest course
About to meet the sea
Unable to summon strength
To carry it’s load any further
We eventually have to
Simply
Let
Go

Sculpture By The Sea I

I remember searching the internet for interesting things to do in Sydney towards the end of last year, and this was one of the events which came up. Am so glad I got to visit it this year 🙂

In One, Many.

The Walk From Bondi

After my numerous solo excursions, it was nice to touch base with a familiar face and soul, have meaningful conversations, and share beautiful experiences with someone I know again.

Thankful.

Where the Water Flows

Where time deceivingly stands still,

Where flowers show unrestrained beauty.

Where light’s sparkle, captured by ripples,

Where the water flows.
