| Isn't He Gorgeous? |
| 11.16.04 (12:28 am) [edit] |
 He's growing up so fast... I was thinking about want. How we learn to want. To distinguish need and want. Curled up in a corner, she watched. He turned to look at her, and her heart melted. Those eyes. Those lashes that grazed his cheeks when he slept...So alive. So warm. And then he attempted to stand..and fell. One time, two times. Again and again, ever so slowly advancing. His cheeks reddened, his eyes sparkled with concentration as he held the side of the table and came ever closer, falling into her lap with a triumphant giggle to be held close. That wide smile. Those eyes..Those lashes. Three years old and counting. Yesterday night he tapped my leg and i crouched down to look at him. "Pooji I want dat". I asked what that was, and taking my hand he led me into the hall and pointed to the remote control, and to the odd stack of pillows he'd built up and burst out laughing. His eyes filled with tears and i gathered him up in my arms and coddled him close, kissing those cheeks till they were red. So much joy. He brought that plant home (in the picture) and is tending to it every day. A little water, a little patting and stroking and singing to it each day. How simple, how concrete are things that children want... How abstract and painfully beautiful are some of the things we want. Yet in the end, we live, we learn. Its just the simple beauty of it all that struck me. How the small things he says and does, the things he sees and loves all available around him. How an odd shaped stick or a smooth pebble are as wondrous as the difference between apple and orange juice. Tis all good...Always. |

Children are blessed with the simplicities of life. As adults our thinking process erodes it. Cherish the moments while they're here....pretty soon he'll be all grown up and you'll be like, what the?...

Always.... they always do.... always... its the small ones.... its the innocence, It’s the lack of comprehension between what’s right and wrong, its not knowing whats societal (yep... tat word :P ).... its the purity of being unconditional...
it does fade away....
But one day, i hope he sees these posts..... what a mirror it is going to be!!
tis good always :) for some bonds can never be severed for they exist on a plane no mortal fallacy could touch
