On Life Support

Have You Ever...
walked the streets of a loveless town
felt the warmth of those invisible tears
touched the hands of someone dying
thought what this world would be like without you in it
felt the need to run away and hide from all this fake
closed your eyes and felt peace in the dark
felt so lonely that you made friends with a bird
realised you're not needed all that much
wanted to end it all so you can just stop trudging along

reached out to someone that your life felt worthwhile
wondered what you're really looking for
known what it is to lose your soul
felt that life is just a passing destination

wanted to die before your time?

I have.

Aww. that's deep and with bit of a dark edge.
Chin up buddy :)

Shionge said...

I've been through all these when I loose my Dad Keshi.....:(

Unknown said...

All the time.

Anonymous said...

Well, I have too.
It's not that I've had any bad experience or anything. It's just that sometimes I have too much time, and I space out during my spare time. So i think about all these. It sure can be very saddening.
But I assure you, that however bad things are, they'll definitely get better. Each day is a suprise, even to tohse who can predict the future. So don't be saddened. Instead, live your life happily.
It doesn't really pay to think about such things, because it totally brings about a depressing mood to your day.

Oh, by the way, I'm just blog hopping, and I landed on your site, so pardon me if I seem to nosey.
*laughs*

Cheers, and smile always!

hate feeling that way. try not to.

Margie said...

Dearest Keshi
That was very sad...
but, I'm not going to say...just cheer up, and put a smile on your face!
When one is feeling sad and dowm..
one just has to go through it!
Feel the pain and sadness...
but, I promise you..it will get better....you have lots of courage,
grace and goodness inside of you!
And...you will prevail!

Just know I am here for you...
I am your friend...through thick and thin!
I wish I could be right there to give you a real hug...but I'm not, so this one will have to do.

HUGGGGGGGGGGZ Sweetie!

Margie
P.S And, I will be saying a nice prayer for you tonight.

Sweet Keshi,
I have been there countless times and I am just happy I survived and overcame to share the love of the joys of life with you.

Cheers and God bless.

Shiv said...

hey keshi dear!! Yea..even me have been thru all this..but after it is over, sometimes we laugh at all those times we felt gloomy!! Cheer up, girl!!

Anonymous said...

Wow....I did.. Almost all the time...?

I did just recently when things weren't going rite in my relationship... Kept wondering wat i did wrong & where went wrong...

Even at times when i am feeling really very down, sometimes i would feel as if my grandma (who dotes me the most, she passed away in 1 July 1994) has given me a pat on my back... It really made me felt better, as though 'she' is telling me 'she' is by my side all along...

When things aren't going your way, sometimes we just need a real hug from a loved one especially to make us feel better..

Awwww keshi.. *huggggggggs*.. Does this made you feel better???

Anonymous said...

Well Keshi, I hope you're not feeling all these things at once.

Anyway, cheer up!

Anonymous said...

Yes I have too...
Thinking all this will make us even sadder so its better we put all this behind and put on a fake smile and continue with enjoying our life. :)

Mumbai Guy said...

Wassup Keshi wid this philosophical lines ?!

Anonymous said...

yup! have been there before!

cheer up girl!

here's something for you to smile:

Three men who were lost in the forest were captured by cannibals. The cannibal king told the prisoners that they could live if they pass a trial. The first step of the trial was to go to the forest and get ten pieces of the same kind of fruit. So all three men went separate ways to gather fruits.

The first one came back and said to the king, "I brought ten apples." The king then explained the trial to him. "You have to shove the fruits up your butt without any expression on your face or you'll be eaten."

The first apple went in... but on the second one he winced out in pain, so he was killed.

The second one arrived and showed the king ten berries. When the king explained the trial to him he thought to himself that this should be easy. 1...2...3...4...5...6...7...8... and on the ninth berry he burst out in laughter and was killed.

The first guy and the second guy met in heaven. The first one asked, "Why did you laugh, you almost got away with it?" The second one replied, "I couldn't help it, I saw the third guy coming with pineapples."

** touched the hands of someone dying

this I have :(, knowing the person is not gonna last long, that person wanting to say something desperately but can't, you wanting to say, but that person can hear it ... those desperate attempts in the end to reach out for ... I'v had to take those with a smile for that person

** felt so lonely that you made friends with a bird

heyyy, I made friends with a lizzard =)) ha ha, will make a post on that soon and the nature of my friendship with him :D

** realised you're not needed all that much

thats an illusion ... the feel of being needed

** wanted to end it all so you can just stop trudging along

c'mon nutty that like giving up

** reached out to someone that your life felt worthwhile

ull never feel fine unless you feel worthwhile thyself :)

** wondered what you're really looking for

he he, I still am ... but I am thinking & pretending that I know it

** wanted to die before your time?

how dyu know your time for you to die before, maybe that "before" is your time :D

btw nice effects on the eyes ;) ... those r urs r8?

Anonymous said...

A lot of emotions ..Hope you chin up..

Anonymous said...

except for "touched hands of someone dying"- done all...ans still living:) funnily am scared of dark, but sometimes even dark seems comforting...i don't know wat to say to you, except that...maybe life will get better.

am here only...just dont get that much time to sit online these days:( but i've been readin ur blog regularly:) u take care...will keep dropping in here from time to time...hugs:)

Anonymous said...

been there.. done that.. still feels surreal..(not all of it, but most of it) and keeps coming back once in a while...
we have selective memories.. that lets us forget and move... or at least forgive...so that we can at least be rid of all those feelings that eat us from inside..
just ride it out... what else can one do?

Cheer up buddy :)

Hi, Keshi.

This is a beautiful piece. I don't know enough of your background to say much else, but I have touched the hands of someone dying before. It is either sad, beautiful, or both. It is always powerful.

Priyanka Mahanta Pandiyan said...

I have definitely experienced all of these feelings Keshi and very often. But only u cud put them in words so beautifully.... Great post!

Dark Shadows.
Life is generally what you make of it and that's why You need a plan of some kind, it can be very focussed or loosy goosy, and as they say if you do this, this, this, and this,
then this will happen.

On my grey to noir days I try to remind myself that if most people in the world had my problems(mainly the silly self inflicted non life threatening variety)

they'd burn theirs!

Anonymous said...

more times than one can imagine hney, all of it.. i've felt all of it.. in fact these come back in phases.. maybe not altogether coz then i'd just depress n die.. but they come at me one at a time.. and u know wht makes all of this worth it ?
is that at the end of that walk down the street of a loveless town, when you close ur eyes and feel one with the dark and wonder wht ur looking for, when ur thinking ur losing ur soul.. and realise that ur not needed as much.. and want to end it all, u see flashes of faces.. of people you love and who love you and then you open ur eyes and realise that you need to feel all of this once in a while to gauge the enormity of the love your surrounded with.. with what you have.. like i read somewhere yday .. its not abt loving what you like.. its about likng what you have and loving every bit of it.. i dont know im making sense here .. but kesh, trust me.. i've been there... :) i hope to god , ur not feeling all these things right now, else i'll have to start writing a whiny post.. tht will make u laugh!! :)
how can i cheer u up sweetie? :)

also, whts ur zodiac? im leonine.. :-D

gP said...

ahhh...that feeling of summer so sweet and divine, the yellow leaves on infinite motion floating down like memories from heaven. You are in luvv....

Ok that was not that...this is indeed hopes and dreams. I'd say any true person in touch with his/her dreams and soul will have felt this. Very litte those ppl are, very big this universe is. Live forever Keshi, thats the key to everything luv.

Keshi,

Cheer up, sweets! Enjoy and treasure those moments which give better meaning to life. Appreciate and celebrate good people and friends. They are part and parcel too of life’s many treasures.

I think almost all of us have felt like that at one time or another. Those that are like that all the time, however, need serious help.

Anonymous said...

I have.. but only some of them:

*touched the hands of someone dying :( - It is not the best experience I've had, but it is certainly meaningful.

*thought what this world would be like without you in it - Many times, but I try not to do it, I'm here now and nothing is going to change that.

*felt the need to run away and hide from all this fake - Sometimes, I feel I need to be alone because some people make me sad.

*closed your eyes and felt peace in the dark - When I can't solve problems...

*wondered what you're really looking for - I'm doing it right now.

And the last one, that happened to me yesterday:

*realised you're not needed all that much - And it hurts so much :'(

Samy hey yeah they r my eyes :)

U really held hands of someone who's dying? It's really heart-breaking isnt it. My dad died sleeping next to me. His body was so warm few mins after he died. His energy was still leaving his body and it made me feel life is only an illusion...then n there. Cos once that energy leaves, there's nothing.

Those are some soul_stirring words, Keshi!

"Walked, felt, touched, thought, closed, realised, wanted, reached out, wondered, known ..."

I think i have used these words many a times never given so much thought to it....

This post reminded me of something i read long time ago,

"My skin and bone
are turned to gold.
I am the reservoir of love

Yep u r not alone, we all think abt those things many times and like i said it all happens to me as well except a couple of things...

thought what this world would be like without you in it***I was talking abt this with someone a couple of days back only. This particular thing i dont give much of an importance coz i know there r only 5 ppl who wud be really affected by that(my mom, kavita, my sisters and sunita), for rest of the ppl i might haunt their memories for a fortnight max. Having said that, i had lot of ppl claiming lot of big things about being integral part of our lives and bla bla bla...but they r vanished, all gone...lolz

wanted to die before your time?***I hv had so many close encounters in my life that this thing just doesnt applies in my case, some day anyway i m gonna perish just like that.

Anyway, now come out of all those thoughts and cheer up...
I gotta leave for work now, shall catch u tomorrow...Good day...:)

Keshi said...

Southy I cant believe u didnt include me in that list...

**my mom, kavita, my sisters and sunita

Jim said...

,u and i came into dis world alone
and we will go alone
,

-Gita, i tink

if u need a hand to hold
if u need friends and lovers
if u cant let go


then my friend
u r lacking

if being by yourself u feel lonely
then u r bad company

if u dont love your self first
u r incapable of loving another

not my original tots
i am a voracious leader

and i forget the source

Keshi said...

I know Saby but sometimes it's too lonely to be lonely all the time...

U can have a million friends and still feel lonely..

Keshi.

Jim said...

I am your friend...through thick and thin!
I wish I could be right there to give you a real hug...but I'm not, so this one will have to do.

Margie or me?

Keshi said...

The Gospel of Thomas is very different from the gospels that have become part of the New Testament. It contains no narrative material, nor is there any story of the birth, the life, or the death of Jesus. It consists only of sayings, 114 in all, each preceded by the phrase, "And Jesus said." The collected sayings of the Gospel of Thomas are designated by its author as "the secret sayings which the living Jesus spoke."

Some of the sayings from the Gospel of Thomas are very much like those found in the gospels of Matthew and Luke, for example:"Jesus said, 'Come to me, for my yoke is easy and my mastery is gentle, and you will find repose.'" (#90) But others are puzzling: "Jesus said, 'Become passers by.'" (#42).

According to this author, salvation is achieved in the recognition of one's origin (the light) and one's destiny (the repose). And in order to return to his or her origin, the disciplemust separate from the world by "stripping off" the garment of flesh and "passing by" corruptible human existence.

For New Testament scholars, one of the most interesting things about this gospel is that its author (who calls himself Didymos Judas Thomas) appears to have used sayings from the same collection used by Matthew and Luke. But for this author and his community, the meaning of these sayings was clearly very different. The Gospel of Thomas, therefore, provided exciting new evidence for the existence of an earlier collection of sayings used by a variety of Christian communities.

In 1989, a team of researchers led by James M. Robinson of the Institute for Antiquity and Christianity in Claremont, CA, began a most unlikely task: the "reconstruction" of the Gospel of Q. Robinson and his team are accomplishing this by a highly detailed literary analysis of Matthew, Luke, and Thomas. Their painstaking work goes "verse by verse, word by word, case ending by case ending." After nearly ten years of work, the results of their efforts are soon to be published as the Critical Edition of Q.

The "recovery" of the Q gospel has stimulated a debate about the nature early Christian communities, and by extension, the origins of Christianity itself. One scholar, Burton Mack, has advanced a radical thesis: that at least some Christian communities did not see Jesus as a Messiah; they saw him as a teacher of wisdom, a man who tried to teach others how to live. For them, Jesus was not divine, but fully human. These first followers of Jesus differed from other Christians whose ritual and practice was centered on the death and the resurrection of Jesus. Their did not emerge as the "winners" of history; perhaps because the maintaining the faith required the existence of a story that included not only the life of Jesus but also his Passion.

Every single one sweets..

but there are beauty in some of these. despite the little ache at times. it was the ache that those people are hurting much.

Walked the streets of a loveless town.

Many times...and my heart ache for some

Touched the hands of someone dying

Would be the one that probably awaken tears within my eyes most when i read that. remind me of how i last held my grandma hands and let go to say bye..She went away that night..:)Adn the way i last touch her fingers. It was fingers tips losing its touch. I can't forget that. And she was a big influence in my life.:)

reached out to someone that your life felt worthwhile

:) I've done that many times..:) and somehow i must be crazy to say it now. but somehow thats something i desire to do all my life. I really hope to make them full time sometimes. i wonder if my path would allow..Someday somehow..*HUGS

These mentioned here are some of them that i feel are worth a little peek inside..

The rest still do apply.

Lurve this post!

one of a kind!

*HUGS*

Keshi said...

Amy HUGGGGGGGGGZ!

**but there are beauty in some of these. despite the little ache at times.

thats so true...cos even tho it hurts, thats what that made us who we r today.


Im so sorry to hear of ur granma...HUGGGGGGGGGZ! yes, that energy leaving the body is an AMAZING and enlightening experience.


I know some day u will fully achieve that desire to reach out to someone...but I think right now ur already doing it thru ur amazing blog...trust me when I say that. U R AMAZING and u have taught me many great things abt life. U have reached out to me and to alot of others out there.

-----------------------------------

ty Sudeep for complimenting my eyes and tnxxx Im OK now :)

-----------------------------------

Pri ty!

Losing my soul...what I meant was that soul is the only thing that is real and permanent abt us...even if the body dies, the soul doesn't. And sometimes I feel my soul is lost too...and that's really hard then. Cos when the soul is lost, there's nothing real left in me.

Huggggggggggggz Pri!
