I don't know since when, but joy always looks like paper thin ice on the surface of a winter lake pretending to be rock solid, waiting for you to step on it.

Dear diary, every day I am going to note down five things that I feel stand true for me.
1. Cold showers after a good work out feel like a rebirth.
2. Including raw food and greens in your diet is one way to regrow the umbilical cord that connects you to your mother earth.
3. Take a bet on yourself. It is the only cure to regret.
4. Mint leaves are proof that the universe holds magic within itself.
5. Thinking about breath can give you a moment where you can make space to save yourself.

• Hurdle race • (5/7)

from past few days
my poems are a stuck record
an electron around the nucleus
letters without stamps and address
I have abandoned the idea of treating
this, as a hurdle race I need to win
I trip over our memories face first
and I see no finish line
I have jumped over puddles all my life
this should have been easy
this is a grey ocean, no little puddle
So, maybe the only way is through
and not over it
I am diving, outstretched arms
head in between --
