The comeback, or picking up the old fragments of what you were years back?
We start something. We think we will stick with it all along, through everything that will be thrown at us. And then while we are tottering our way through the thick fog of everyday life and viewing the world through the smokescreen, we forget our old muses, promises and our images. Before we know it, we do evolve into completely different human beings, made wiser by the mistakes, blinded by new pursuits, smitten by the temporary dazzle of fresh people we have come across. Soon, before you can sense it, such things will be routine. Somehow, everything that has ever been precious to me has always slipped into the background , as if to protect itself against the onslaught of the on-the-face present.
And the best quality to seek, find, nourish, teach and learn is how to forget everything and keep moving. What matters is what we need to do to the ones who we are leaving behind, what stories we are going to stitch with them, how reassuringly we are going forward. It's the look in your eyes, that's the only thing that is going to stay with the ones behind. The stories, the graceful exit, the silent signs and promises of possible comebacks.

"the graceful exit", the beautiful line that summarizes the totality of life for me! Really touchy. And nice to read the post after so long from you. Hope you keep publishing and keep the blog burning...
