Today was an exceptionally dull Saturday. It was super hot and my spirits were longing for some greens and refreshments. After doing everything possible to entertain my dull mind, right from listening to peppy music and writing to friends, I gave up and slept for two hours instead. And, how good do I feel now! A nap was all it took to put back some vigor into a drab day like this.
Ah! These summer days.
I am now poised to get back to work. A writing assignment that seems to loom overhead as I keep postponing it. A casual stroll through Facebook brought me to a friend's witty shenanigans there and I was transported back to a time of visiting him last summer. How happy do I feel to remember those moments, reliving them again and again as if on a loop. Everything stands still except me and the memories. Thankfully, I am able to reconstruct most memories the way they are in my head. I also wrote to a faraway friend over email and the simple gesture of exchanging pleasantries gave me a much-needed calm.
It has been a slow and silent week. My many books lie carefully arranged on the shelves. Lately, I have taken to watercolor painting. While it is therapeutic, I often find myself reminiscing about places I have been to and the zeal to capture them on the canvas. There's a lot more that watercolor painting also teaches me about patience and keeping a cool head. I feel an easy sway of emotions as I see the transparent colors merging and reaching out to each other. Shall keep making art and mending broken hearts.
