the sun
furling and unfurling
a new day
a new beginning
a new arrival
a new departure
the new
as in old
the new
as in old

The words,
A new departure

holds the key.
The day furls even as it unfurls, the hours of light pass
into the depths of darkness. The same familiar cycle forever and yet often the
heart craves and the mind yearns for lasting light, for arrivals divorced from
departure, for life free of death... as if such were even possible.
But if conscious life must live, it can only do so by
denying all consciousness of reality.
And the image brings to mind an old song by Jaan Nisar
Akhtar, Javed Akhtar's father, :
Katra katra pighalta raha aasmaan
Rooh ki waadiyon mein na jaaney kahaan
Ik nadi dil ruba geet gaati raahi
