Leaves and Life
Finding redemption in every stroke of the PEN.
‘Was gazing at fallen leaves today,
And guess what caught my eye?
That they grew so huge just to gracefully fall down…
Shame on those green pigments,
They fell down!
//
But isn’t what life is all about?
A constant fear of failing at the next stop,
Do the leaves truly perish?
NO! Not for me-
They would help others to grow big now.
//
Failing isn't losing all,
It's a chance to rise once more,
A fresh start in every fall,
It's far from losing hope,
It’s about living the life once again.
//
Perspective maybe,
Be the leaf in the life.
And still be the leaf after falling down.
And remember to grab the first seat in roller coaster-
There a’int a life without it.

Death is a black hole. Think about it. A black hole is the corpse of a star, something once warm and bright, now come to the end of its life cycle. But some will argue that the cycle of life does not end with death. That death is merely another path we must walk once our bodies expire and our souls ascend. In that moment, when the fuel in the star’s chemical tank hits empty and the shiny matte coat explodes into supernova, the mass left behind – the corpse – becomes a black hole. We understand that, around such a vast cadaver, dimensions work a little differently in death to the way we’re used to in life. For example, light cannot escape the pull of a black hole when it hits the point of no return. That’s where it gets its colour. Space itself is contorted by a black hole. That’s where it gets its funny shape. Even time. Time slows right down the closer you get to it. The closer you get to a black hole. The closer you get to death.
