Prayer in motion

 

Anything that 'moves' you.. has to be a

'prayer' in motion.. and what special children of God are the people who are able to do that. each time I hear a beautiful voice. my heart fills with such love and blessings. or a good dancer. or a painter.. a poet. any artist

at all. and I think this is the emotion most

everyone feels. and if divinity plays such a beautiful hand in placing them there. despite all the setbacks. sometimes even giving them almost providential talent, touching myriad hearts involuntarily blessing them in turn.. then there definitely have to be some divine

'forces' at work.. extending all the 'help.. as if to say.. I hear you, you are very special to me, don't worry I am there!'

Handful of stones

 

I would rather be a stranger to you for touched by the heart bared in anonymity hurts as each step closer wraps it in veils..

So much noise.. and just a hug..

That says..

you might feel lonely.. Sometimes.. But..

you can never be alone..

you want to cry. My eyes seem to

be burning too.. Hold me just for a moment.. Till thạt

anguish and all your fears.. Seep into me.. and I touch your

heart.. and know. you will be ok as hurting I become your mirror passing a handful of stones your way..

Blame and regret

 

discard blame and regret from your life.. for this moment of realization is all we need.. to fulfil all the rest we have..

Frozen mould

 

These words.. they become a barrier sometimes.. for we let them personify the whole person, instead of something said at a given moment. in an environment

where change is the essence of evolution..

a person spins through a gamut of experiential wringers... holding on to a

handful of momentary impressions that stamp another into a

frozen mold..

Music of the cosmos

 

if only

words could cease for a moment..

if only

we could hear the silence breathe..

if only

we could let the music of the cosmos

uplift. if only

we could sift the noise for the

symphony within..

Unlearn

 

seep yourself in a moment, that's all there is.. resist the need to hurry.. making every touch' superficial in an urgency to move towards

'essential' issues that would hold even more essential matters within it's fist. till flitting over all the instants we look back to ponder life.. and it's emptiness.. question self-worth.. and it's vacuity.. searching for meanings 'over' the horizon not within the folds of time.. overleaping 'eating'.. 'sleeping'. 'working'. even 'breathing'.. yes, we need to relearn the simple things of life.. yes, we need to relearn the rapt attention in a child's eyes. yes, we need to 'unlearn' enough to condense survival into fluid images that move. feel alive..

Opposing forces

 

Opposing forces

become a necessary 

part of any wisdom. we swing out again and again, perceiving nature only as a resource for physical gain. unable to see the pervasive teacher and the lesson.. what every other life form

knows instinctively.•

man through his

"choice' needs to experience first-hand.. and this is the beauty of lifetimes.. an adventure.. a mission.. a journey. a quest.. a celebration of wanting to 'touch' life to the fullest.....

Losing ourselves

 

and the desperation is there.. to hold back. for who knew we have to lose something first to be able to find it. and because we are so terrified of losing ourselves, we are never really able to quench the

Fulfilment we need

Surrender

 

In splintering confusion.. igniting all the fears of a self laid bare.. extinguishing every ray of separation.. i realize.. as reeling under this raw vision that shreds all the veils of control.. I am unable to look up.. and find those shields anymore..

Masks we don

 

	but why the fear..
	the barriers..
	somehow we
	compulsively
	delude ourselves..
	unable ever.. to
	gauge the depth of
	our feelings..
	unprepared by any
	precedent.. any
	yardstick,, for in all
	the masks we don..
	nothing prepares
	us.. to face
	ourselves.. and the
	primitive raw
	emotions within..

Symphony in my heart

 

Its really early.. The breeze unimaginably cool the sky painting vibrant hues of colours in a mad dance with the clouds pirouetting all over its canvas brushing crazed hues and patterns.. to the cacophony of birds racing each other. Faster louder reaching a crescendo.. Creating a symphony.. In my heart

Surreal tapestry

 

people enter our lives as friends, via a surreal tapestry of stitches in time.. and we feel that

'magical' hush. in our souls.. like a blessing..

deep within the folds of the laughter' bubbling forth as joy. in the

presence of someone

who truly cares..

Label ourselves

 

we always tend to label ourselves and others.. whether it is character, nature, trait or quality. we were all born with nothing.. and as we grew.. our 'stickers' like quicksilver changed as per individual perceptions.. still each an alias' to the person.. who has to be more.. evolving. each moment.. impossible to 'freeze frame' into recognizable slots.. reflections maybe of the pictures held so long..

unidentifiable.. untrue.. only a part.. put there.. like the writing on the wall.. written at will.. erased the same way..

I wonder

 

I wonder..
when after death our bodies turn to dust, why organ donation is an exception not a norm.

I wonder..
when love means to care unconditionally, why do we make people toe the line.

I wonder..
when God resides in each one of us, whom do we abuse, hurt, or kill.

I wonder..
when we are so rushed in life, what images our children see.

I wonder..
when education system espouses subjects, does it enlighten or enslave.

I wonder..
when there are so many religions and faces of God, how did we forget to delineate our souls.

I wonder..
when we curse our fate what do we lack, money, health, education, love, family, children, a part, or all.

I wonder..
when power becomes an addiction for a handful of leaders, what makes us blindly furnish that fix.

I wonder..
when we express our love for any animal, place or thing so spontaneously, what makes us hesitate with another human being.

Appearances

 

we die a million deaths worrying over not looking good in front of others.. never realizing others are worrying about the same things too..
