The Daffodil Alerts – Laugh like you mean it & only when you mean it.

You can see but you cannot touch is my most favourite among the 17 commandments (No guilt here). She has a mesmerizing, a loud, totally uninhibited, engaging and drawing smile. So sipping my cocoa i was sitting there for more than an hour just to get a good look at her face. I have already been seeing bits and pieces of it and that melodious smile has been ringing in my ear since i heard it the first time.

So it boils down to picking these alerts up. Moments that could form  the cornerstones in defining you life. I am sure everyone has their own honed mechanism to know when their daffodil alerts are coming through. If you don’t you are going to be missing a lot of it before you ever realise it. I am sitting there wondering how will i leave this place if the daffodil grew weary of smiling and finished conversing with its currently unknown yet crucial piece of the experience. The opponent here has to be given sufficient credit for in their absence I would have been able to sit and wonder as i did about the daffodil. I focus on a point in front of me, brushed aside all the thoughts and with ever so slight arrogant illusive notion of grandeur thought if i concentrated long enough i will able to hear the daffodil’s whisper. Despite the obvious fact that it was never going to possible for me to hear the whisper simply for physical reasons, I was willing to try it. You could say its because I didn’t have anything worthwhile to do. I would simply have to say its simply a unexamined answer from scared or preconditioned mind. I was pleased with the moment, simply because a seemingly innocuous incident has tripped me a bit.

I used to tell myself “I am ok, As along as i can smile to myself, I am ok”. lately there have been too many things that have been drowning me inside. This was a kiss on my cheek. I am going to be thanking “HER” for the daffodil and move on.

“Your are way out of your depth here boy/man/friend/buddy”, would be the common consensus from most people if i had cared to ask for an opinion and in their “infinite” wisdom and or the so perceived image that they project. This was soon proved right of course and surprisingly enough didn’t seem to bother me one tiny bit. I was pleased that i caught that alert and gave it its due notice.

The other parts of my life that were in throes of extinction didn’t change this feeling at all. That gave me strength, of what kind i do not know but it sure didn’t and I realized it. Looking to my next daffodil..
