Divali 2010

Tomorrow is Divali! Well it's today to be exact, considering it's after midnight. I'm already on bed and thinking to 'call it an early night' for a change. I suspect it's going to be a long day and night ahead.

Divali is supposed to be the darkest night of the year right? Considering that, I don't think I have ever in my entire life really experienced the darkness of that night. It's the one night that is guaranteed to be splattered with lights near and far. Maybe that's the point of it. Removal of darkness.

May this Divali remove the darkness and sadness in our hearts.
May the light illuminate our souls and touch those around us.

Green Room

I'm lying here in a green room with green curtains & a solid line of super sunshine peaking through the corner. It's hard to tell it's 4pm cuz of the rugs and sheets hung behind the curtains to keep the light out. It's no wonder that the 1 month or so I spent in my own bedroom was such an acclimatizing experience cuz it's so bright in there! Green curtains once again but so thin they may as well have been just a formality... and a skylight! Yes a skylight triangle of glass, squaring off the top of the window to the peak of my roof. I learned to sleep in the light in that room.. my eyes taught themselves to naturally close with glare and over the years, I became more comfortable sleeping with light in my eyes than in darkness.

Darkness brings me to life. Darkness makes me open my eyes to see what I cannot... & all my senses are piqued. Darkness brings all the thoughts and feelings out from their little box of conformity.

Darkness is you
