My Aching Back

In what feels like a long long lifespan of 2 decades , i've come to realize i've a pretty magnetic personality ..seems like every knife in the vicinity is attracted to my back..
At every corner that i've turned i have found people seemingly honest, jovial, likable but quintessentially  two faced and self-serving.....for all their tall tales and promises of everafter, i have repeatedly found myself stranded in the middle of nowhere clutching at severed heartstring, shaking my head at the ignominy of being duped yet again into trusting the untrustworthy..
but trust i must again and again, have my heart broken again and again ...for i cannot bear the thought of traversing the miles with just my mirages for company...i'd rather they have a more solid form even though both have just as shaky foundation

I am not being high and mighty, i probably have more than my enough share of faults.... and apparently i am the dead weight that should be cut lost at first signs of trouble.
I have come to understand the ways of the world, but that doesn't mean it hurts any less...
Me and My aching back have each other for company now and forever...held together by skin and sinew....until that is the gaping holes tear us apart............

A Child's Way

I have a 2yr old for company these days, its fascinating to watch him go zooming by on those puny lil legs, always on overdrive, always curious, always passionate and of course always cocky and sure about the ideas he's got in his minuscule cute head covered with floppy hair..
I could probably say tht he's always on a sugar drive, pilfering 'chocolats' from my secret stash and get away with it, but there's more to him than that...

Faith

Since the dawn of time  humans have been surrounded by inexplicable things- fire, flood, thunder perplexed the early man .... he believed it to be the wrath of an unseen force. I do not know which magic man came up with the concept of all mighty God but he did and so began the tradition of blind faith.
Then along came Science threatening to vanquish the simple beliefs with calm cool logic.. upsetting the simplicity of unflinching faith with its sharp poignant questions - the what, the why , the how of things had never been so much trouble before.
Superstition and science have been in battle of beliefs ever since then... sparking an everlasting debate, and making Dan Brown rich.
