@sarayu--

I love your eyes ma. I always kiss your eyes and ask you a question, 'Why did I kiss your eyes now?' And you'd think deeply, stare at me in a way that says, stop repeating the question, and reply, because you like kissing my eyes. Then I'd say, no give me the right answer. You'll put some thought into it and then say, 'because you're my eyes' (yen na nee dhan en kannu). Then I'd give an audible sigh and ask you to revise your answer. You'll again put some thought into it and then say, 'because I'm your eye' (yen na naan dhan un kannu). (In tamil calling someone Kannu (eye) is a term of endearment) Ik I'm being a pester yet I continue being one out of the immeasurable love I have for you and I know you know that because you put up with me, gently. Pure and simple, I love you. Nothing is as easy and beautiful as loving you.

@adam-

🍻"Sometimes you will never know the value of a moment until it becomes a memory." It's easy to look back through the lens of today and think we would have been either clever or lazy enough to hold on to 5 BTC back then, but the more likely reality is that you would have either spent it, had it on an old hard drive you either lost access to or chucked. If not that, then you likely got rugged by mt Gox.

Eventually it will all work out and you might mistake it to think that it was all you. It wasn't. Reality actually humbles you. It's all the small pieces, the small joys, the connections, the miracles, the Blessings, the energy rise and fall, the balance of the earth elements and the biggest invisible guidance to the path that your life really deserves - when it shows up. It's all together. It takes time. It takes the loneliest of times to reach where you are meant to be. The pain you feel is necessary because the lessons are not meant to harden you but in fact, soften you. It will make sense one day when you read this and it actually went the exact way it was meant for you and every single bit was necessary. You will learn to be so grateful for every single breath, your existence will feel magical, each moment of joy will feel like you earned it and still you will only consider it to be rained upon you because you deserved it in the right time.

When our children were small, my husband told me, β€œYour opinions are perfectly reasonable. But that leaves the children with nothing to argue back.” So when my children were young, I was very careful about how I phrased things when communicating with them. Now that they're older, when I tell them something, I lay down the law. The reason is that I try to offer objective opinions rather than just parental ones. I believe they'll need that when they enter the workforce.

It takes a lot more energy to suppress an idea vs executing on one
