Friends

The family we choose

Family we choose

Receptive ears defuse

Irrational news

Effortless refuge

Nurtured breakthroughs

Dancing away the blues

Strumming along to life’s hues

Friends are the family we choose

Words caught in a moment of grateful reflection.

These past few weeks have made me build my appreciation of relationships.

Family, friends, partners, children, colleagues, strangers — everyone and anyone. In the physical and virtual world.

No matter how long it is between drinks, stories, hugs, laughs or tears, presence and support always felt when life flips us around — even when time and circumstances prevent you from being in the same room together.

Gold — pure gold.

Thanks, Suntonu Bhadra, once again for gifting the space to put pen to paper.

It is challenging for me not to “type”. A worthy challenge as it releases an entirely different feeling. I honestly don’t know where my pen is going to take me.

Thanks for reading

Thanks for being you
