Endless thoughts

Sometimes I with I, lived alone
and no one came by
It would be nice to breathe alone
All thoughts in solitude
and then it seems
being alone
Is like being in a crowd

T.R.A.N.Q.U.I.L.I.T.Y

Stillness of the dawn
The glide of a swan

Thin mist on a lake
Lone drifting snow flake

Wagging tail
Slow Moving snail

Snow-white milk
Rich flowing silk

Orchids in bloom
Stillness of the tomb

The clear blue sky
A gently closed eye

Peace in Mother Teresa’s face
Solace from faith in Almighty’s grace

Snow covered peak
Sleep, restful and deep

Frozen candle flame
Mona Lisa in the frame

Cooing of the doves
Cumulus clouds

Freedom from stress
White wedding dress

Blooming red rose
Monotonous prose

A slow flowing brook
The forgiving look

Absolute calm
Natures soothing balm

Moonbeam dancing on a forest floor
Promise of paradise ever more

Paradoxx!

In order to contract a thing, one should surely expand it first.
In order to weaken, one will surely strengthen first.
In order to overthrow, one will surely exalt first.
"In order to take, one will surely give first."
This is called subtle wisdom.

Be bent, and you will remain straight.
Be vacant, and you will remain full.
Be worn, and you will remain new.

My Arrow

I am afraid ;
my tears will give me away.
and my untold secret will be known all over the world.
They say the stone turns to Ruby with patience
It sure does,
But not before my heart bleeds.
To become one with that ultimate beloved,
many heads turn into dust...

I have send my arrows of prayer from every possible corner.
May one of them reach the target of LOVE

Kodai trip

I have been avoiding a trip to Kodai for so many reasons, eventhough its part of me. Ganesh Souroush landed in India four day pit-stop to Thailand with a unique goal to meet the "Gypys lord"- Billy , reasons...not revealed.

All I can remember is rain..walked through overflowing roads to catch an auto, running through endless buslines in the dirty bustand water...NO buses to Kodai....courtesy: Festival & school holidays. After running aroun like a big wet rat..finally found a bus to Hosur at 1.00, then Hosur to Salm, Salem to Vettlakund, Vettalakund to Kodai, Kodai to Vettai... 1 auto, 4 local buses, 1 taxi ...1way.
Got drenched the next day on the way to Billys house, Entered the silent world of Billy with amazement, 26 years in India , we played with fire, sent C, wrote ideas, simplified life..brought his sign in metal & also got wet.

That night with fire & two brothers ...pure magic.

Birth of a new resolve!!!

On the way back the sky was like the december christmas sky ..clear & baby blue, As two souls landed in Kodai another two left to Coimbatore..
Kodai -Palani..
Palani...-Coimbatore
Coimbatore-Isha
Isha-Mysore
Mysore to Namma Bengalouru

AS time passes, brother bids farewell to the Land of Karma -Bangkok
And I am stuck up with four presentations & an doorway to future possibilites....
Also waiting for Musafir Ali

Twilight musing

As the day turns into night....as creatures sleep & wake up, for some the day is over , for some it just began, for some the life is over.

The humbling thought hits me again...One day I will have to leave & I want to leave in complete choice, consciousness & awareness. For that I need to prepare.....

Peace, love or call it a feeling of ease enters my being, I am aware of the antics of the mind & at the same time I have started to hear the cry of the being...to be free in a way that a thinking mind can never imagine.....

To be free of attributes, to be free of form , to be free of all accumulation.................JUST TO BE.

Time is now

Too many bugs in the system. The software needs to be written again. It needs to be done with care and details. To correct the patterns & peptides. The time is now & here. The day begins with the sunrise Ends with the sunset. In beetween to do the things that need to be done With and without a purpose.
