fistful of stars

She poised briefly, to reflect on the year that is almost over. Then she realized there was nothing truly to reflect on. Truth is, that the year was over and another one was waiting to break dawn. It doesn’t surprise her that there is nothing to wish for anymore. She has everything that she will ever need. The familiar joys, the little heartbreaks, the momentary flush of happiness – she can hold them all in her soft palms and cherish the known sensations. No she doesn’t have anything at all to wish for. She has never been greedy and has always accepted life’s gifts with humility and hope. Most importantly, she knows she has herself and that is something she will never ever lose again.

She has nothing to wish for, and she has everything that she will ever need. Still she looks forward to life, the joys of the unknown, of the things to come, of the things she has to go through to get there, The joys familiar but still unique, The familiar unknowns, but specially specific.

Thanks Rambler! Yes, she doesn't stop enjoying the journey even if she knows where it is headed and even if she has been on this journey many times...To be able to find beauty in the familiar is something she learnt recently...
