Hi. Unfortunately (or fortunately, but
incidentally) I don’t remember how I used to address you. Really I don't. So
let me not address you at all.
On this Hong Kong day, when Hong Kong has stood up for its rights, let me use this
occasion to express the final state of affairs. And now I have more than just good
reasons to certify so. Here is the result of the 360 degree analysis:
P.S. Good Bye!
“And once the storm is over, you won’t remember how you made it through, how you managed to survive. You won’t even be sure, whether the storm is really over. But one thing is certain. When you come out of the storm, you won’t be the same person who walked in. That’s what this storm’s all about.”

तेरे बीना ज़िन्दगी से कोइ, शिकवा तो नहीं
शिकवा नहीं, शिकवा नहीं, शिकवा नहीं
तेरे बीना ज़िन्दगी भी लेकिन ज़िन्दगी तो नहीं
ज़िन्दगी नहीं, ज़िन्दगी नहीं, ज़िन्दगी नहीं

इस मोड़ से जाते हैं
कुछ सुस्त कदम रस्ते, कुछ तेज कदम राहें
पत्थर की हवेली को, शीशे के घरोंदो में
तिनकों के नशेमन तक, इस मोड़ से जाते हैं
आंधी की तरह उड़कर, एक राह गुजरती है
शरमाती हुयी कोई, क़दमों से उतरती है
इन रेशमी राहो में, एक राह तो वो होगी
तुम तक जो पहुचती है, इस मोड़ से जाती है
एक दूर से आती है, पास आ के पलटती है
एक राह अकेली सी, रुकती है ना चलती है
ये सोच के बैठी हूँ, एक राह तो वो होगी
तुम तक जो पहुचती है, इस मोड़ से जाती है

ReplyDeleteBy letting you go, I have reclaimed part of myself, a freedom. By letting you go, I have moved -- in many ways -- towards a new life with a new set of rules and principles that are my truth. Ones that work for me, that shift and soar. This feels good and right.
We are both on separate journeys; yet, you will always be within me: I owe part of the woman I am now to you. Without you, I would not have had these experiences. I am stronger, clearer, braver.
You gave me much. Even the tough, the feeling of brokenness (which has healed), for the parts you fell short and I fell short: I'm thankful.
Now, I know what I need.
What I want.
What I'll accept.
What I deserve.
I know how to be better. Different.
You've given me the opportunity to learn to forgive, to practice love unconditionally, for understanding love alone does not make a marriage and nor does a piece of paper.
Sometimes love means letting go to allow room for a new growth, a new life, to take root.
Thank you for the coffee. For 12 years.
No regrets.
I wish for you what it is you wish for... with my whole heart and much love.
Love,
Becky”
