There is this squirrel who’s all chitty-chatty today. She’s talking to me continuously without any pause. It feels like either she got her voice back after years of struggle or she found a good listener in me. She doesn’t want to stop. She wants to let it all out in a go. She’s talking about her 5.35 a.m. mornings, wandering upon the roofs, she’s talking about hopping the hopes and she’s talking about her morning tea with her beloved friends next door where they usually do their “what to eat” & “what to cook” conversations, just like our mothers. She also talks about her naps that she takes when the sun goes down. She loves to lay down and watch the sky changing its colours to yellow, orange, red and tints of pink which goes darker and darker ( to blue to black) at night. Although, I’m sure her life is more than this, but to share sorrows you take time. And just like that she left, as I told you before, it’s her tea time now, her friends joined her. I’m an introvert, so I take time to get along with people, but I think I’ll get along with them easily. Then we’ll talk about her struggles someday.
