Into The Big Blue Sky

The last time I travelled I was on an eastbound flight. We flew really close to the Himalayas. Words are too small, too meaningless even to describe its beauty. It was a majestic sight even from that distance. I wonder what it would be like to stand at the foot of the mountains and just gaze at it. Nepal is definitely going down on my next vacation plan. I've had but a glimpse of the Himalayas and now I really want to see it up-close and personal.

Time to get back in the air again. 

My days are numbered.

Flowers of Evil

I've been reading Charles Baudelaire's 'Les Fleurs du mal' every morning for the past couple of weeks. Call me profane, call me blasphemous. I enjoy reading 'banned' poetry. 

'Turn down to me your eyes, so blue and so full of stars!

For just one charming glance, divinely healing balm,

I'll raise the veil for you of pleasure's secret depths,

And lull you fast asleep within and endless dream!'

— Charles Baudelaire

(Flowers of Evil, Condemmed Women: Delphine and Hippolyta)

Worlds Colliding

"All of us have a place in history. Mine is clouds." 

— Richard Brautigan

Sleep, Dreams and Reveries II

She came knocking at my door
Seraphic in the 7 O'clock morning light.
Caught me at my time of weakness, I let her in.
And then there was silence.
