I
wish to be the chord against a violin – to be lifted and grated
against it soulfully and listen to the music I just produced. To be a
magician’s assistant and be cleanly slit right through and have
torso and bust come together in perfect unison. That’s what I am
crying out for – to be entirely broken into atoms and feel like I
am all over the universe; then to come together as a whole and feel
that the whole universe is in me. And it’s so perfect and complete
that I cannot dream of keeping it to myself. How can I not feel this
urgent need to share it with everyone I know, and know everyone I
didn’t until now, through this sharing? Especially to share with
those who need to have their faiths reaffirmed in something.
Especially because I could not give them something of my own and I
just want to distract them for a little while by pointing out what’s
already there, in and around them.

Excellent Read !!!
Good Opening Lines
Little kindness in life is just what is needed !!
And that's we love people for, those 'little, nameless unremembered acts of kindness and love'.
I've been ailing all day, and this, is perfect prescription.
