Tiny arteries
the sun has yet to come out.. the sky looks overcast with half a blanket of grey unbroken cloud cover.. the birds seem to be calling out to the sun earnestly.. and here it comes.. a beautiful diffused orange.. piercing the grey.. muted.. complementing the mood of the sky.. waves of clouds reflecting in its hushed visage.. slowly it rises.. a poetry in motion.. a song in the sky.. a melody .. a painting.. a beautiful orb that calls out for a glimpse at its soul.. a core that speaks to us.. enjoys the happiness in our eyes.. eyes that are always shut in deference to its brilliance otherwise.. the wires stretch across the roofs of the buildings like tiny arteries connecting the life of the city.. there is so much i need to learn.. but for that i need to practice not rush across the hurdles of my mind.. everyday a new resolve.. everyday a new justification.. we are very good lawyers.. and have the power of conviction..so lets just fight our own case now..
Cloud veils
the sun has not yet risen.. the skies have been really clear for quite some time but today i could see myriad shapes in the sky.. wisps of clouds forming a palanquin here.. a crown there.. in lazy preparation of the regal greeting.. or maybe they enacted in their fluid movements of the great things to come.. flocks of birds streak past forming changing patterns in the sky.. mute art that stirs the heart.. and speaks to the soul.. the sun is coming out now.. as the clouds make way.. like grey curtains slowly parting to welcome the guest of honor.. a veiling and unveiling.. like a teasing love affair in the sky.. the sun peeps out.. and the clouds race to embrace protectively.. now i can see the orange globe shining brightly.. and the clouds race on the wind.. forming a seamless boundary wall.. such a lovely veil.. such an ethereal glow.. such a song in motion.. this orange unveiled orb.. its a beautiful sky.. the clouds gliding on a lazy breeze.. and the sun enjoying the antics of its family.. emanating a pink glow.. an orange diffused light.. hushed muted hues of love.. indulgent of the hands of the clouds holding each other in this little game.. a veiled sun blushing.. radiant.. relaxed.. behind the cloud veils..
The third eye
the sun is just coming out with its deep orange light.. looks like a bindi in the sky.. the third eye.. the pride.. the life of our universe.. the color deepens as i eulogize here.. tugging pulling at my heartstrings.. totally in awe of this miracle.. humbled at being a tiny part of this phenomenal vision.. and it rises further.. an inner light glowing pregnant with the need to burst forth.. and spill.. becoming one with everything and everyone.. the fire within burning bright compellingly.. these parrots play around like kids.. flirting with the universe.. seeking attention with their incessant screaming and squealing as they streak across the sky.. confident of their place in the universe.. love their antics.. as they race each other exultantly.. what a way to greet a new dawn.. with such ebullient spirits.. celebrating the freedom within.. but man sits in various preoccupations.. stranger to his legacy.. or his roots
Invisible touch
a beautiful morning.. with the sun rising majestically.. compelling bewitching my heart.. and myriad hearts that perceive this fresh miracle everyday.. mute witnesses that break out into a song that tunes into the language of the heart.. there is a hush.. maybe it is within me.. humbled by this divine experience.. this silent gift that we leave unopened.. shutting the doors and windows of our self.. we hanker after the need of the moment.. unaware of the music of love all around we crave a satiation that we can hold on to.. in the visibility of love hides its invisible touch.. if only we can feel it.. every moment holds the love we seek..the experience of love in a moment.. is more profound than a lifetime of holding on to it.. even the birds echo the hush within.. calling out in muted wonder.. waiting expectantly to hear the song in my heart.. can hear the distant bells ringing in a temple far away.. creating vibrations that beckon us to tune in to a prayer.. a worship.. a sanctity.. a touch..
Mother Earth
feels really special to see the dawn.. the sun rising bit by bit.. with changing hues of heartstopping brilliance.. an orange orb that compels you to live.. to embrace life.. and let go.. mother earth holds us cocooned in its lap.. providing food, shelter, magical wonders, musical visions all around.. only here to woo us.. uplift our spirits.. satiate our souls with love so profound.. that it does not need our attention.. the crows.. the eagles.. the parrots.. the sparrows.. are all vying with each other.. singing their own greeting.. a language that needs no interpretation.. that does not rankle.. only satiates.. their gliding wings helping our spirits to soar freely.. parrots scream for attention.. showing off their vibrant colors as they streak across the sky.. why does it rankle when people do the same.. do we react because we can.. this one parrot seems to be giving out a constant distress call.. as if scolding the crows defiantly.. or is it calling out to everyone to hurry and wish me.. its a beautiful gift to a special day.. my wish is blessings and healing for all the souls in this world.. and profound gratitude to mother earth..
Majestic rise
can hear the birds chirping all around.. the sun donning a beautiful orange robe that deepens with each step.. its so bright orange now.. an ethereal pregnant orb that compels an overwhelmingly magical response.. of hope.. of possibilities.. of joy.. of being invincible.. and of humility.. dont think anyone can remain untouched with this majestic rise.. and we want to pray.. to thank.. to rejoice.. the birds too seem to race across in glee.. showing off their seamless flight.. as they greet each other.. calling out to the world chidingly.. to wake up and be a part of a new dawn.. a new day.. the breeze coolingly touches every part of my skin.. seeking attention.. stamping its unseen presence as an integral part of every moment.. the heartstopping orange has changed to a spreading yellow that defies us to look straight in its splendrous eye.. and i feel blessed and healed.. and humbled and elated.. to be a part of this vision nature paints and serenades afresh everyday..
Mysteries and magic
got up at 4.45 only.. i have so many resolutions in my mind.. still searching for that strength to rise above the mundane.. to respond instead of reacting.. to listen more than talk.. to have compassion for everything and everyone.. to comprehend none of this is real.. to know we are all one.. to accept our legacy.. to start walking home.. to have happiness in my heart.. how have i let myself be so weak as to be buffeted with the winds of every moment.. not even trying to hold on or help myself.. cursing, blaming everything around for not helping.. i have all the solutions.. and all the right answers.. just need to pick up a pen and start writing.. it is sheer laziness preventing me from checking myself.. for that frown.. for that rare laugh.. for the love and peace of my family.. myself.. and i continue to walk in this way.. contemptuous of myself yet.. not trying hard enough to find the peaceful joyous loving sanctity in my heart.. its 6.45am and i cant help but write again.. saw the image of a rose in the sky.. an angel bowing in greeting or worship.. and a lying buddha with his whole body glowing with ethereal light.. saw the clouds far to the west, way before i could see the sun come up.. some volcanic.. fiery.. blushing.. diffused.. its like god dancing across the sky holding a brush in his hand.. the clouds in the east slowly lit up.. blushing at the seams.. and now i see the sun just a deep strawberry line.. then two.. then three.. as the clouds ineffectually try to contain it within their folds.. the sun almost taking on the shape of a ship sailing in the sky.. and now a majestic whale.. and now a globe with the political outline of the world.. and now a physical one.. a bowl that glows with mysteries and magic.. mere specks of light.. defying imagination into just three dots.. invisible to the eye.. spreading a pearly sheen all across the sky.. it slowly rises again in the shape of a sea horse.. and now the full glowing burning orb of light.. your eyes shut in deference..
Story world
today is a beautiful sunrise.. the cloud cover made the sun smile.. and now it is dazzlingly up in the sky.. not too many clouds up there today.. have been transported to another world during my walk.. a world of writing letters to my children.. on how to live their life.. i think i should write these open when letters for them to read once i am no more with them.. then i jumped to marriage.. planning venue to designing cards.. laughing at the thought of not including the guys side in my consideration.. for nothing can be done without their inclusiveness.. we have strange stories spinning around in our heads.. and we get lost into those story worlds.. but some we bring back into this one.. and make them real.. there is a golden path glittering in the sea just to welcome the sun.. is it possible to be like the sea.. a mirror to all.. a home to all.. essentially unique..
Hammock of thoughts
could not walk or do yoga yday as had a real bad attack of migraine.. the sun is a resplendent orange orb.. the boats the barges all seem to have frozen in place in silent witness to this royal ascent.. the sea blushingly touched by wayward hands of sunshine.. there are dark clouds in the sky.. taking on myriad shapes in their quiet game of dumb charades.. and sometimes random hearts join in trying in exultant discovery of their senses.. spied a huge tortoise in the sky today.. as if trying to say its okay.. slow and steady will win the race.. really need to work on responding instead of reacting to things.. slow down inside.. and bring out the inner glow.. stop trying to put life out there.. to impress others.. be happy in who i am at a given moment.. and if not then try to work on improving myself.. making my conscience the yardstick of my actions.. being strong within.. strong enough to control my thoughts.. to dismiss my thoughts.. to scold my thoughts.. to discipline my thoughts.. to have fun with my thoughts.. to enjoy my thoughts.. to make a world in my mind where i can sit and enjoy the sunshine.. hear the birdsong.. swing on the hammock of thoughts or lie in the lap of nature.. secure.. relaxed.. contented.. loved.. blissful.. peaceful.. at home..
Thought-notes
Random letters
the sky was so pink in the morning around 6am.. with shapeshifter clouds playing dress up with each other donning dark and light shrouds.. the birds seem really quiet today.. this lady is listening to shri sai namo namah jai jai sai namo namah.. and there is this beautiful fragrance in the air of some incense.. the sun is really high up now.. what has really been troubling me lately is my diet.. it seems to have really increased.. dont know what vacuum its trying to fill.. but i really need to work this out.. am happy in myself.. happy with myself.. singing aloud and dancing in the kitchen.. music sparkles my insides.. undulating the joy into rhythmic carefree moves letting go of the self so tightly held within.. we compulsively don worry like a skin that gives us a sense of being alive.. trying to gauge whatever meaning we can in random letters that spell distress..
Sunkissed poetry
a really amazing breeze is teasing every part of my skin.. cooling it.. touching it.. wooing it.. a sensory pleasure its hard to ever describe.. you just want to be lulled in its embrace.. not let go.. hug it to yourself.. making its presence felt in such a loving way.. always there no matter what.. shivering across every pore as darts of exquisite pleasure.. assailing my senses into wonder and ecstasy.. the sun is high up in the sky.. bold.. bright.. powerful.. touching every bit of visible earth and all in it.. with renewed shades of life.. the breeze writes poetry on my sunkissed skin.. breaking into song sometimes.. dancing merry steps all over and around.. the birds call out softly in reverence to the suns phenomenal presence.. the sky cloudless deep blue.. mornings are amazingly beautiful.. today the sky was a unique shade of orange and red.. we get so irritable about such little things in life.. making ourselves the center of this universe.. and everything about ourselves..
Expression of God's love
have started coming 15mins early to be able to enjoy the sunrise.. which is yet to happen.. it is broad daylight.. but the sun has yet to come out.. the sky is really clear with diffusing shades of red pink and orange from where the sun will rise.. can hear strange bird sounds all around.. saw a crow skiing in the breeze almost.. with both its claws held tightly together and wings widely spread out.. it just let itself go.. enjoying its abandoned flight.. the sun has just come out.. a beautiful orange orb.. compelling.. attracting.. wooing my senses.. to hold on.. to hug.. to let go of myself.. wish i could silence my thoughts.. quiet my words.. and be a child in the lap of nature.. today my thoughts have been really chaotic.. despite the early hours.. i feel we are just too conditioned to think of worse case scenarios all the time.. in order to be better prepared to deal with life.. and that is really messing up the whole environment around us.. unable to think happy thoughts.. we gallop on the back of random thoughts helter skelter.. falling.. hurting.. instead of taming them and enjoying the exhilaration of a great ride.. the sun is really high now.. and i can feel its rays warming every pore holding hands with the cooling touch of the breeze.. laughing.. playful.. exuberant.. nature loves us so deeply.. it just cannot be contained or described in words.. these are the silent relatives.. friends.. playmates.. toys.. vibrations.. that each one of us gets freely.. never alone.. always loved.. nature is the expression of gods love.. the way we show things to our children.. to play.. cajole.. console.. god paints the sky.. plays music over the sea.. dances on the breeze.. creates incessantly vibrant life all around afresh..
Strange code
the sky is a diffused orange where the sun is about to come out.. just love this hush.. this music in the air.. the sky vast enough to let so many fly free.. the earth vast enough for every tread.. the sea vast enough to hold a world within its depths.. the breeze talks to us in strange code.. writing a unique song all over our skin.. the sun is coming up now.. i am so in love with this sight.. this presence around me.. unbelievably beautiful.. soothing.. peaceful.. inspiring a dawn within.. of hope.. of love.. of humility.. of wonder and joy.. just hold on to these strains of notes.. stringing music within.. that needs to be felt.. throughout the day.. what a magical sight this round orange pregnant palpable orb is.. seeping into my heart.. in refreshing.. cleansing waves.. a crow calls out incessantly for attention.. light traffic sounds in the background.. and the strains of om sai namo namah walking with the lady on the terrace.. its been a good and tiring day yday.. even though it was a sunday.. everyday we discover new shades of love.. why let them be swamped under the mundane.. the pain.. the hurt.. the trivia.. and it has to be trivia because we forget about what can make us cry buckets today.. every moment bringing a fresh breath.. a breath that learns new words.. a new movement.. sometimes deep.. sometimes shallow.. writing the story of our well-being.. untamed.. imperative.. carelessly ignored.. craving for attention to its miraculous rise and fall.. one crow is screaming and burping at the same time..
