on life and memories!

Don't wait for the perfect moment to live life..

Moments are just not those that are created when you are happy or everything is just fine...

Instead go out and embrace life, create moments without waiting for it to happen - for today's moments lived are tomorrow's memories. You have ability and power to create beautiful ones and for that you don't have to be with the perfect person or wait for ideal conditions. 

Create for you are to live with this person just now and with no surety of being with him again...

create for you will not revisit this place of time again....

create for life is happening now....

and tomorrow you will have stories to share and relive your today...

On seeing!

We see or read what we want to see or read.

We don't see or read WHAT IS!

The basis of most of our problems, skepticism, irritation, anger, frustration, fear, hopelessness, pain is we read way more than what is!

Seeing things for what they are and people for who they are is very simple!

And yet, this simple act takes aeons of time and umpteen births to learn and apply!

Nothing - by Richard Seymour

Nothing

All creation was preceded by Nothing.
"Nothing", therefore, is the substance
From which all things come,
And to which they shall return.

That infinite Nothing gave rise to nature.
Nature's perfect symmetry is instinctive.
Whatever upsets that balance can be said to be wrong.

We are all part of nature.
As such, that instinct is part of us.
To contribute to the balance of all things,
Is to live in harmony with one's self.
To move against the effortless flow,
Is to cause disruption to our surroundings,
And so to us.

Snowflakes - by Richard Seymour

Snowflakes

Clouds do not drift in the wrong direction,
Nor do snowflakes fall in the wrong place.
A fish can thrash against the current
And make no progress;
Or it can do nothing, and float for miles.
When you let go of the handrail of life,
No wrongs can befall you.
If you open your mind to the Dao,
You can never die.

Dao is the 'Universal Energy' or 'Order of things in Nature'...

Our Children - A poem

Our Children

Fate has laid infinite paths,
Free will is our to choose on which to walk.
We do not need to arrive,
For a destination to exist.
Our children are already born,
Whether we conceive,
Or not.

On sorry and forgiveness!

On sorry and forgiveness!

When and why do we say sorry? To seek forgiveness or is it just a word to move on without addressing the issue?

Are we entitled to forgiveness by saying sorry? If not, then why?

If by just saying sorry, forgiveness is assumed or granted, then can we or can't we get away doing anything to anybody?  In such a scenario, what is the purpose of saying sorry? or rather what is the procedure to say sorry?

Is the hurt gone by just hearing 'sorry'? Is the sin condoned by stating that I am sorry? Does that act still accrue as my 'karma' that needs to be addressed or is it done with? If not, then when is karma redeemed? 

When do we expect the other to say sorry? And when and why can't we forgive?

When and how do you (as a person individually) say sorry to others and what is your expectation from them and that act of yours? Why at all do you say sorry in the first place? Is it more of a habit or a social norm that you routinely follow and is there more to it than just these?

When is the last time you said sorry to someone? Did it help you and how?

Please share your stand/experiences/views/ objections and understandings......

On Time!

On Time!

When we are living 'it', Time seems to be going very slow and sometimes as if it hasn't or isn't moving...but..
in retrospect, We always feel Time has flown very fast...

and yet we fear the present and feel it will stretch for ever...
the same present when it becomes past looks very funny and never as dreadful as we lived through it....

how odd is that!
