Being "The Extra" in Other's Life...

I feel its me there, standing alone, calling her out while she enjoys under the sun and shares her happiness with others. But I know she will call me out when she's blue, its autumn in her life. But there's love here too.

I never imagined that i would ever experience it. I have been fortunate enough to have a lot of friends at every stage of my life, and each friend so different from the other. There are the Hi-Bye ones, then the "Have a nice time" friends, the "Through the thick and thin" friends, the counselors, the flirtatious ones, the "Long distance" best buddies, the fake ones (the rarest and endangered species in my life. But they are there.) and the "There-not there" friends (again rare).

Our Caretaker

I generally commute to my office by my cycle. On my way there's a big tree. The one which protects us in all seasons. Shades us from the scorching sun, protects us from the downpour.

Is this not what we believe god does. But, for atheists, the tree to me resembles our conscience. The one that shades us. A shade under whose light we can clearly see the right from the wrong, distinguish just from unjust.

As James H. Aughey has quoted,

" Conscience is the voice of God in the soul. "
