When I was blogwalking to my new friend’s page couple of days ago, she was talking about kites, apparantly it’s the kites season now in her place.
Hmm.. It’s been a while since the last time I see them in the sky.
The problem of living in a big city is children nowadays seem to spend more time with their electronic gadgets other than playing freely under the sun.
Anywayy..
This kites thing brought back memories of my childhood.
Well.. I couldn’t fly them back then and I don’t think I can now, ahahaha :p
But my brother could so usually he was the one who flew the kites up high in the sky and then I asked him whether I could play it or not.
Isn’t it amazing to see those flying kites?
They are soo high up in the sky, but with the string we hold in our hands, we can still control their directions.
These kites got me thinking.
You know there are times when you need to let loose the strings and let your kite just flies away freely following the wind anywhere it blows.
But..
There are also times when we need to pull back the strings when you see that it goes away to the wrong directions.
Isn’t this kite reminds you of life itself?
There are time in our lifes when we need to just go with the flow, when we need to let go of things.
But some other times, we need to pull ourselves together and lead them to the destination we want to get by.
What we need to learn is..
When it’s time to let go and when it’s time to stand strong with what we believe in cause oftentimes we mixed up those two and made things even more complicated then what it should be, ahahahaha :p

Hello Indah,
It’s good to be here.
I enjoyed reading your post, it ties well with how people see the world.
I think the one thing that stands out most of all, is the actual being of the kite. The teaching and the learning to do one or the other, feels more like a tie down literally to the ground.
We are here to experience everything within all angles, like the kite flying in the sky and landing on a tree and getting stuck, or the kite holder just letting it go. It’s all part of the wider experience, and by accepting them into our lifes, we are creating a greater understanding of ourselfs. I don’t think life is in any way about conditioning ourselfs to be anything certain in any experience, it’s rather about ‘living’ it.

I like this one ^o^
Yess.. although at times I wish to have smooth roads but sometimes bumpy roads are inevitable

I don’t know about this one. I like wondering, about anything and everything.
And sometimes by positioning myself into a certain thing, like for example seeing myself as a kite, it helps me to understand things about myself and my current situation a lot better
