the mortality

Whatever lies on the other side. . .life on Earth is a precious little chance to delve in its beauty and mystery ...Super Moon of November, also called Frosty Moon, as seen on November 14, .2016.

Marvel at everything as if it is new. It is.

all the voices

all the world’s wilderness 

we hold in our hearts, 

all the voices we defend

in words and in silence. . .

~ Rumi ~

All day and night, music

a quiet, bright

reedsong. If it

fades, we fade.

                  ~ Rumi 

Keep the fire burning

In the hearth of the heart 

Keep the fire burning. . .

autumn clouds

this dark sky of being...

River smiles

'we are all the children 

of one mother,' his words echo 

from somewhere in memory~ 

in its silent depths, 

river smiles

meandering

meandering through 

the sunset shades, reminding 

us of the places 

we've been and yet not ~

Ah, to write your words on a pastel sky. . . .the grandeur of an August evening. . .

Evanescence

one of those days. . .

what do I know

The exotic wild life our little vegetable garden brings forth. . . .and then the old Beatles' song that sings itself. . . . .

as if endless. . .

A poet. . .

"A poet is someone who stands outside in the rain hoping to be struck by lightning." 
- James Dickey

To live!

“To live! like a tree alone and free,

To live! like a forest in brotherhood/sisterhood...” 

~ Nâzım Hikmet

Every flower -

Every flower blooms in its own time, at its own pace.

first jasmines!

search for patterns

picture perfect

lend me

lend me thy words

but not your thoughts

so I may fend mine, 

and give form 

to my own

in the quiet of this place

thoughts flow. . .

unhindered

tacitly

summer recedes

afternoon walk

the peace

TS Eliot's Peace that Passeth Understanding

If life were predictable it would cease to be life, and be without flavor. ~ Eleanor Roosevelt

Magic of the Universe

                                                       In the thick of this concrete jungle, 
                                                             they visit - the ladybirds, 
                                                 from a place faraway in time and space ~
                                                     'miraculous ' becomes a small word. . .

Happy Holi and a Happy, Holy Easter!

splash of colours 

in this season of rebirth 

and renewal ~

Wishing all a Happy Holi and a Happy, Holy Easter!

songs of spring

Dragon cloud

Look, a cloud...a dragon cloud is swallowing the sun.
Look again...keep looking. . . see the truth behind things.

first rose

first rose
of spring ~
how far away
is the season's
first rain?
