Time Lines

Time Lines

Palms that wrinkle and soften with time … it’s spatial!
An event that occurs through traversing distances
… And endorses its images in the time lines of my palm.

Time Lines change
And with these changes we look into our eyes to witness it – not happy always. Smiling through with tears
Modifying all that we know of human nature after Darwin.

Defying options of natural selection
A blameless puppet trying to transform the end of ethics
Is this possible? The journey through relationships – either onward or upward!

Life is not about relationships, and neither is it about emotions… it is moments spanning through ones time lines –
Moments ingrained in the palm of our hand
Moments that embed themselves and struggle out through the pores as sweat…

I have lived these past days watching death crawl slowly at bedsides, old age watching senility creep in, youth missing out on a new life, … its changed my palm… without waiting for me to change…

And through these watchful moments, have fretted over the changed time lines on both my palms. The right one of relationships and the left one of relations… neither emerging victorious….

Life is not about relations, and neither is it about emotions…. it is moments sparring through various time lines…. Each moment sparring for attention.

The world has never changed so much … asking for more when less is there!

I am looking for time to change in me… there is nothing in me to change…nothing that is less that I would want more of.
