The little black book

I have a little black book

words of wisdom

gathered over the years

notes, eye-openers

realizations….

That the origin of good and evil

is deeply rooted in one’s own heart

there is a scheme to life

we can either embrace it or run from it

Being yourself is very difficult

in a society where anything out of the ordinary

are either labelled  or condemned

and one should never believe in anything

simply because it is written as the absolute truth

Hatred can turn one’s days and nights into

hellish turmoil

trust is earned

religion is not restricted

to temples and sacred writings

Death is a painful truth

tenderness and kindness

are not signs of weakness

once spoken,

words can never be reversed.

The little black book

now is with all the others

on my shelve

a constant reminder

that life is a process

a mystical journey

a true version of oneself
