I loved reading this. And if I could choose an ideal life, this would be a big part of it - a few moments of being 'seen' - where new, exciting possibilities await. Taste that wine, smell those smells, share that joy and feel that fulfilment of having completing something beautiful. And then when it's over, go back to the comfort and warmth of the 'ordinary, invisible' life so that more art is created, more life is lived, more dreams are born. How lovely would that be!

Can't tell you how much I related to this. Posting a poem I wrote on 1st Jan.
एक हवा चली
सब लेके उड़ी
कुछ हम भी उड़े
कुछ धूल उड़ी
कुछ हवा चली
कुछ काम हुआ
कुछ हवा बनी
कुछ नाम हुआ
कभी दूर तक उड़कर हम भी फिरे
कभी उड़ते उड़ते हम भी गिरे
कभी हवा टाइट
कभी नाक में दम
कभी हवा धुआं
ऑक्सीजन कम
कभी सीधी बही
कभी उल्टी बही
कभी गुब्बारा
कभी पंचर सही
ये हवा है इसको बहना है
पर हमें ज़मी पे रहना है 😁

May you have a flying start to a grounded year! 😊
