Miracles

And, they do occur! Not through a divine power but from ordinary people. A small gesture of good intentions can light up another person’s world.

Seek happiness for others and miracles will never be rare.

Will the agony stop?

Why don’t you stab my heart?

Will the pang last for seconds?

Wont I feel numb for eternity?

Is that nice?

To feel numb…

Role reversal

She hates my guts, which is similar to hers. But, she would poke perverts with a sharp-needled compass to protect herself and her classmates. She cannot stand my stubbornness. Yet, as a child she cried and did not eat till she got a pair of Levi’s jeans, the first girl to own a pair in her neighborhood. She scorns at my wardrobe. However, there is a photograph of her during her teens dressed in a tight white shirt, blue shorts and knee-high boots. 

I look at her and think how can she be so naïve?  Like her, I believe every word anyone tells me without a single doubt. Sometimes my patience runs dry with her devotion to spirituality. Ironically, I am pursuing the same path. She selflessly helps everyone around her. And I wonder when did I sign up for the same job.

My mother and I are seldom on the same frequency. She is always scrutinizing me and I am always lashing out at her. She has her opinions and I have mine. Yet, we cannot do without each other. I need her as much as she needs me. She raised me to become a woman, just like her. And, now I am taking care of a child, just like me.
