However

December 2015
However
However?
However!
A concept that changes any direction:
I wanted to do this, however, I decided to do that
I listen to you while you are telling me about what happened
I try to identify the emotion from your facial expression
Your state of mind becomes my own as your story unfolds
Some things remain unsaid
However
The gaps between the verbalised and the non-verbalised
are bridged by my sincere understanding
In my mind I envision your pathway
charging towards some vague destination
without any halt
My brain is scanning and screening through all the information just entered
selecting the useful
deselecting and discarding the inappropriate and harmful
I look past you
and far down the pathway that brought you to the point where you find yourself at right now
my focus jumps back to your current location
Surprisingly you have reached a split in your road
It is obvious that you have to choose the way to go from here onwards
The outcome of your choice may either fix or change your destination
However
This is your road – not mine
The first step into the direction of your final destination
Will have to be taken by YOU
I had various concepts in mind which I wanted to share with you
Stories of my own which could also have served a meaningful purpose when shared with you
However
I got the sudden urge from nowhere and started scribbling on the first nearest paper I could lay my hands on:
A colouring book of my granddaughters beside my bed lamp

Mid December
Time for reprocessing
Maybe the time for putting a “however” in your own sentence
thereby changing your direction for the better
Whatever the circumstances may be…
If you cannot find the direction you so desperately need
Wait…
It will come to you
Sure Enough
