Today.. I decided to take a conscious decision.. to just 'be'
Nothing like being deliciously lazy.. and not feeling guilty about it. I felt it was well earned and satisfying.
I'd decided to call over friends and do dress trials in the evening, open a bottle of wine to celebrate.. well, just being!
Strangely, today was also a day where I heard about the birth of a friends baby boy.. simultaneously, came to know a friends mother passed away.
The entire concept of birth and death in one day.. got me thinking.
Birth symbolises creation.. does death necessarily mean the end, or is it just a comma that takes one to another dimension?
In the evening, I went to art exhibition, the theme being the 'Female Hero'.
The female.. a hero..coz she is a nurturer, a creator.
I feel a woman should retain her feminine traits.. not give them up.. or compete with a man. I notice women around hardening, hardening as they feel the need to live in a mans world.
Its slightly sad, as perhaps, a woman feels that she has to be strong, not show her vulnerability.
A woman's vulnerability can be her strength too. Sometimes being emotional is considered weak..being emotionally sensitive according to me is a strength. It take courage to express ones true feelings.. to emote. Be it man or woman.
We live this life once.. and I feel we should atleast try and live it as honestly as we can. set our own ideals. be honest to ourselves.
