GOOD MORNING MESSAGE #122

Regularity can’t be dreary if you have imagination.

From the first of June, 2018, I started writing Good Morning messages in the form of poems (Please read: ‘Good Morning Message #1‘).

The last such message was: Good Morning Message #121‘.

Good morning Friends,

The regularity with which these messages come,
Doesn’t by itself make these passé;
If numbers or repetitions would add to humdrum,
No one would ever admire a bouquet.

It is actually true of all those motley things,
That come to you routinely everyday;
Each one some freshness or newness brings,
No one’s significance you can downplay.

Each day has a sunrise, each day has a sunset,
The hours and minutes are the same;
In every respect, there is regularity and yet,
Each has a different flavour and name.

In God’s world, there is regularity everywhere,
And yet He has given means to discover newness;
Even if something is a repetitive affair,
Each has its uniqueness, its own trueness.

Greeting one another should never be trite,
Each friend is special and actually unique;
The regularity can fill you with great delight,
If you look afresh at its individual mystique.

To you, regular things won’t really look banal,
Because you have curiosity and imagination;
That each new day would freshly enthrall,
And result in renewed and unique exultation.

Freshness and newness come from within.

I have done a long stint in the Indian Navy that lasted for nearly thirty seven years; I rose as far as my somewhat rebellious and irreverent nature allowed me to. On retirement, in Feb 2010, the first thing that occurred to me, and those around me, was that I Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest (you will find an article with this title in this blog) and hadn't lost all my noodles and hence thought of a blog titled 'This 'n That'. I later realised that every third blog is called 'This 'n That' and changed the name to 'Sunbyanyname'. I detest treading the beaten track. This blog offers me to air 'another way' of looking at things. The idea is not just to entertain but also to bring about a change. Should you feel differently, you are free to leave your comments. You can leave comments even when you agree and want to share your own experience about the topic of the blog post. Impudent or otherwise, I have never been insousciant and I am always concerned about the betterment of community, nation and the world. I hope the visitors of this blog would be able to discern it.
