Evolution

Some times, we walk into some places we were never before, and its habitat causes a change in our lives. The streets, the vendors, the neighbourhood, the customs and the culture... the voices you hear and the noises you avoid... the words you learn and the phrases you reject... the rituals you are mused about and the rites you are amazed about....

...all having its ripple effects in your lives.

Some other times, some people walk into a capsule of time in our lives...through a kind gesture or a caring word...through an uninteted touch in words or otherwise, or an intentional embrace in a heartening look or warm smile... eventually growing beyond the radius of the time capsule they first entered and conquering the reign of heart andmind with a feeling that is special to only those who belong to each other... that special feeling of wanting to be in the presence of each other... the divine presence of someone special...

...all causing its ripple effects in our lives.

Some lives are dissolved in the changes these effects causes on them...

Some other lives evolves to an even better shape and content...

Dissolution of one is destructive and painful.

Evolution too is painful with the change of fibre and substance and the suffocation it causes deep within.

Some dissolutions are essential and its pain inevitable.

And the pain of evolution is the tax levied on us for the joy and happiness the evolved state has to offer.

Pain..even in the absence of our own shadows..it is sure to accompany us... ...in different costumes...

Time has greeted me with a garland of evolution....
