There is enough matter that matters the most

Yes, indeed it's been 2 years since I wrote something. Time enough to count as some experience...and so the theme of my note today.
Every moment in life throws something. The way it leaves you, determines it's worth in creating an impact. The world is full of such dynamic transformations, yet we feel it could be faster, better and more every time. There is only so much that matters the most and there is only that much required to hold that matter. It could be the grey brain cells that hold you hostage with the day that was, with the dreams of the day that would be and of course with the thoughts of the day it could have been... Of all these what matters the most is the day that was, contrary to many believers of the past not being the predictor of the future. If it was not so, there wouldn't be one person who could see oneself better. The reason, where is the reference? There wouldn't be the zeal to out perform the could haves of yesterday, that spilt over to the today, to only leave a to do for tomorrow. In all this, where is the qualitative differentiation of what mattered and what didn't? Set out to find answers to this, you would find that if one focused on what to count and what to discount, it would matter to leave some space for fresh thoughts that bring novel solutions, not for oneself for the day or two, but for times to come and for community at large. There would be enough to ponder, if there wasn't a gate keeper to the grey matter garden, and the gate keeper being the judgment that came from yesterday for the day making each day smarter and leaner in what matters.

Way things are, They are.

I wonder at the Title...Look at it time and again and think to myself, is this what I want to express? Probably yes, atleast for this time. Why do we question the way things are? Why would we want them to be different than what they are? Is it that they are not ideal? How about this for an answer - They are not the way we think they should be...Convincing? Let me think, not yet. Look at this picture, a downhill slope...I can rush down, slip and fall...I can hike casually, enjoying the greenery, yet watch for my steps and go ahead...But the downhill is a downhill? Can I make it any flatter...Not in this incarnation. One can sit where they are and look at this as an amazing view and capture this moment for a lifetime.Why look for something outside,while I can look at the way I see it....for I should know what to do when the slope is downwards and I should know when I climb uphill...Its all there,where it should be, It is not always a process of challenging and judging that wins, sometimes what wins is patience and the art of understanding the given...and changing the way I see it...
