“ONE STEP CLOSE”- Nayana Nair

Crumpled-sheets-of-paper-trying-to-write

I think a lot,

But seldom write.

I feel incapable of writing.

My thoughts get crystallized

In my mind and refuses

To flow through my pen.

Frozen out of fear.

Knowing that with each word I pen,

I am one step closer to realizing,

That I am ORDINARY.

  1. I thought you might enjoy this:

    Make the Ordinary Come Alive
    Do not ask your children,
    To strive for extraordinary lives.
    Such striving may seem admirable,
    but it is a way of foolishness.
    Help them instead to find the wonder
    and the marvel of an ordinary life.
    Show them the joy of tasting
    tomatoes, apples and pears.
    Show them how to cry
    when pets and people die.
    Show them the infinite pleasure
    in the touch of a hand.
    And make the ordinary come alive for them.
    The extraordinary will take care of itself.

      Its lovely 🙂 Ordinary is not something to lament upon I guess :). Thanks 🙂

  2. May you see how beautiful being ordinary is – maybe that will free your pen…:)
