In hopes of capturing a silent pulse of life
I abandon hope itself
Desiring and pining for a perfect life
I abandon perfection itself
Feeling the need for balance
I abandoned feeling itself
Trial and error is abandoned
to make way for
Trial and triumph

Ah Rahul, I’ve been writing about similar topics so your piece resonates deeply. “Trial and triumph” is something that will definitely stick with me – I love that phrase. I love how your pieces connect to one another in how they express your journey, thank you for sharing 🤍🤗
Glad you are able to recognise the connect. You’re an astute reader and dare I say, one of my favourites 🙂
Aww, and you are mine 🙂
I think “the connect” is sometimes purposeful and sometimes just falls into place naturally 🙂
Can we triumph without hope, balance, feeling, and curiosity? Wouldn’t that be an abysmal life?
You’re correct, it would be abysmal
Yes, indeed it is always about achieving balance. When we go to extremes, nothing good comes of it. Very thought-provoking piece, Rahul!
No matter how tightly one clutches the water in hand, it slowly drains. To have is not to have and to have is not to be.
Beautiful work
True! Thank you 🙂
