What seems to come in the way can enhance what is sought as the end outcome!

After much effort found an angle that held the building together. Only to find a thorny shrub come in the way.

Letting it be, added character. At least that’s what I think. What do you think?

That sure is the mode for life. What doesn’t destroy you makes you stronger. Your obstacles add character to the results you seek.

They come in all shapes and sizes. Boxes.

Some going far. Some just next door. They all sit shoulder to shoulder as the postmen gather and sort them at a train station. Perhaps with little idea of what’s in them.

The boxes themselves sit pretty. They have their own story to tell. A former Indian Prime Minister wrote a poem titles “Envelope” which went something like this

“The letter inside is yours
The address on the cover is his
Between the two of you
I get ripped open”

What’s inside us is far precious. When we keep ripping ourselves apart and let newer versions of us emerge, the address on the boxes keeps changing.

We see many new lands. We go places, as they say.

Rip yourself apart. Let the new you emerge from the boxes!
