And life doesn't remain same!

Looking at the vast azure sky

I thought the drops of affection

that fell from paradise

have lost.

Now, I confess,

it had rained again

just for me :)

Snippet of time...

There is an unending circle that surrounds us in our everyday life: one that encompasses our very being and touches our core, a spirit of gratitude that greets us with sunrise and tucks us into bed next to the stars. It also encapsulates the beauty in people, of moments and things unnoticed and untold - a book, warm cup of coffee,  warm smile from a passing-by stranger, small butterfly that fluttered by and the scent of summers, the swaying of cold winds that do not want to leave and the stillness of fog, the sound of religious chants in the temple across the street and the anticipation of the events ahead. 

These and many, many more others are things that are there and need to be accepted with an open and grateful heart - for without them, your day would be at a toss! Then and only then can we experience the true blessings of life.

Silent Conversations

Experiencing one of those difficult moments when I'd like to spread comfort, hugs, some silence, faith and lots of love around me. For there is absolutely nothing to say to people who have lost their dear ones - mother, father and just two-months old son.

I've seen their lonely eyes and sad smiles. I've also witnessed the superb strength of character with which they are moving on with life, and their doesn't silent demeanor doesn't even reveal a small something of the turbulence inside.

It becomes all the more difficult when all these people are acquaintances, not close, and I absolutely do not believe in formal condolences. I wish I could share few moments with each one of them - not to ask what happened and why or to say any words that I do not mean from heart, but to tell them they are loved and that I've learned some big lessons of life from them. I hope I get a chance for this later.

For now, silent tears and strong prayers should do some work. They better do!
