31st July 2016
The sound and sight of rain, sitting in the balcony with pots of red and white gorgeous flowers, garden full of different shades of green, a strong tea in a white ceramic mug, a book full of romance- what else could I ask for?
Dressed in a white gown with delicate blue and red print on it, a little too revealing for my taste though. Pristine white stockings to match, fitting a little too perfectly. Almost irritating my knee joints by their stubbornness to fit so well. Just next to me is a charming little chapel which apart from listening to silent prayers, also keeps me informed about the hour of the day.
While I walk through the corridors here, I see works of art that were completed back in 1911. I hear the fountain through my window from 8 a.m. till the late evening- the soothing sound of water. Occasionally I hear a baby cry, but isn't a sad cry. It is the cry of joy, the cry of life.
I hear so much and yet I hear so little. Sometimes, the silence here is so deep that the occasional sounds of beeps, sound almost critical.
The nights are usually calm. I sleep blissfully with an awareness that there would be an angel watching over me. She would visit me several times during the night just to make sure that I am Ok.
During the day I am always surrounded by people who love me. They keep me entertained and distracted.
Some days pass in a blink, I don't even realise how many hours have passed. Some days are slow, each second seems like a lifetime. On such days the angels tell me that tomorrow will be a better day. It gets better with each passing day. I trust them.
I trust them completely. I trusted them enough for letting them violate my body. I gave them written permission for it.
