A Tree Grows in Me

There are very few human beings who receive the truth, complete and staggering, by instant illumination. Most of them acquire it fragment by fragment, on a small scale, by successive developments, cellularly, like a laborious mosaic~ Anais Nin

As far as I'm concerned I certainly belong to latter. Tree of my life is growing up slowly or rather I would say too slowly, cell by cell, leaves by leaves. Most of the times each leaf costs too much efforts, practice or melodrama. Sometimes it's my mum and dad and whole bunch of "Others" giving me pearls of knowledge, which makes me feel like crap at times,  or sometimes it's just everyday insults and humiliations that completes the scene, or sometimes it's those small things that makes up a day  :P 

With each such hiccup and achievement I learn something. I guess my tree grow by an inch more or less. Though at that moment I don't feel like growing at all, but realization is a stage in life that often comes late :D  

With every page I turn

and every phrase I highlight

with every dialogue that impresses me

I grow inside..

With every book on my shelf

and every friend I make

with every fight that tires me

I grow inside..

With every twist on my way

and every turn that I take
with every crossroad I cross

I grow inside..

With every picture that I see

and every sound I hear

with all those colors and vibrations around

I grow inside..

With every flip of the page

I find something to smile or cry

with that every lil curve and tear out of my eyes

I grow inside..

How far I'll go ?
How far I can go ?

maybe, this time I don't wanna know

I wish if  someone can hide.

With every passing day

and every passing night

I just wanna grow inside :)

At the end just think, just give it a thought

"If there was only one tree like that in the world, you would think it was beautiful. But because there are so many, you just can't see how beautiful it really is.”
