Photo *Heart* Fridays – Ambiguity

I always wanted a happy ending… Now I’ve learned, the hard way, that some poems don’t rhyme, and some stories don’t have a clear beginning, middle and end. Life is about not knowing, having to change, taking the moment and making the best of it without knowing what’s going to happen next. Delicious ambiguity.

Thriving large shrubs of ‘Lalang’ weeds hidden around the corner near K’s school – walking past this never fails to make me wonder. I always wondered how these weeds can thrive in a neighborhood where there are plenty of seniors with green fingers.

The mystery was solved this morning. when I caught a glimpse of a senior living 1 door away from these shrubs, watering his plants outside, as well as these weeds.

It’s alright to have weeds next to your plants, to nurture them and not to overlook the beauty in the most common of weeds.

Photo *Heart* Fridays – Superhero

I spend lots of time thinking about what I want to teach him.

I want to tell him that the older you get, you can’t play as much, it tends to get grey at times, and life ain’t easy. But life can also be beautiful, so don’t let life make you jaded or cynical. Continue to look to what makes you happy and brings you a peace of mind.

It’s ok if people are not happy with you, cos we can’t please everyone all the time. It’s also ok not to do what everyone else is doing and pursue your dreams. And if you do get married, find a partner who loves you for who you are and not who she hopes you become.

Be a friend to the boy / girl in school that everyone else is making fun of. And it’s ok to smile and be nice be people you don’t know, especially when you are an adult, just make sure they don’t know where you live.

And do trust in the biggest superhero that you can depend on, that’s God. He really has your best interests at heart and make sure you spend time with Him.

I worry and I worry too much. Sometimes I worry that I am not teaching him the ‘right’ thing.

All i need to do is to learn to trust my Superhero, the way I want to teach my son to.

 

Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God; and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.

– Philippians 4:6-7

Photo *Heart* Fridays – Embrace

Embrace

“Mom, I think your long hair is nicer.”

“I will tell the hairdresser that she is not allowed to cut your hair the next time…”

I can never understand the boy’s obsession with my long hair. Could it be that he can’t never keep his hair long? Or that he relates the length of my hair to femininity and something he is so familiar with his mom?

I told him, “My hair may be a little different but mummy’s still the same, regardless the length of my hair.”

“I know, but I still don’t like the short hair…” he answered and climbed into arms for that tight hug that we are both so familiar with.

I am embracing this moment in time that he is still willing to be generous with his hugs.
