To the divine




Oh God, please forgive us...
Are we so bad that we are being punished like this?
That you prevented us from entering your divine abodes on earth...
That whatever we were proud about are now in total shambles...
Do we deserve this relentless misery?...
We already feel like discards..
Hateful infectious beings in this beautiful planet...

Yes, our mistakes were huge, 
We did hurt mother Earth and fellow beings...
In big way... The damages are enormous...
Oh God, please give us a chance to repent and repair..
Yes, there are nasty people among us..
But, so are there a lot of beautiful souls...
Most of our hearts are filled with love...
Love for nature, fellow human and other beings...
You know that, Oh God!!!
As we believe, that is where you reside...
In hearts filled with love..

It breaks our hearts to see dead bodies piling up in heaps...
We don't even get to say farewell to the departed souls in a proper way...
In the ways we believe their souls will reach and rest with you in peace...
Oh the most merciful Lord!!!
We beg your pardon...
Have mercy on us..
After all we too are your creations...

Ageing

Ageing   Age is just a number, they say... But no no no , it is not just that... Age is the changes upon you around you and inside you.. Age is more silver locks, wringles on the forehead,  crow's feet at the edges  of the mouth and the eyes.. Age is the sagging skin,  loose muscles and aching limbs .. Age is missing connections in networks, neural as well as social ... Age is frequent visits to the doc and more tests and scans.. Age is more pills and supplements  to negotiate turbulent hornones.. But beyond everything, age is when the little bird  that had so far nestled within, who with her chirpy songs made your eyes sparkle  and made you dream... Who with her subtle flutters often made you blush and took your breath away.. Age is when she flies away taking  exuberance of youth along, leaving a few feathers behind, for you to reminisce  the glory of the past, to remind you that there are unfinished projects  and dreams to ...

New Zealand Spring

Spring in Newzealand  New Zealand Spring They say one would be sniffed by the sniffer dogs  for myriad prohibited stuff, on arrival at New Zealand.. Measures to protect and preserve  the pure and fragile ecosystem of the southern island nation.. But late into the the night  there were only cordial smiles of hearty welcome!! And out in the open  abundant fresh air  wraps you all around. .. The whole of earth is  carpeted green, albeit uneven.. Spread all over the lush greenery  sheep, cows and horses  feast and have their fill.. Wild flowers, mostly yellow, are thrown lavishly all over... Roses and peonies  as big as lotuses red, pink and white  sway in the wind... Coming out of the brooks, pebbles shine in the sun... Mountains stand tall,  still donning the snow cap... Loose feathers from those caps  scatter to form white clouds  floating in the sky... The blue sky, like a narcissist,  stand admiring...

Introspection

Introspection, mindfulness in psychological jargon, is important for mental health.. That is to look into oneself, being aware of one's own thoughts,  When you analyse your thoughts you may encounter a stranger. But, owning up is the key. Own up the stranger, the flawed  and crumbled being that you are. But do forgive.. Ability to forgive is one of the fundamental virtues one should possess. Sometimes it's hard to get a grip on oneself, with all the turbulence inside.. With myriad concoctions of emotions  that are produced in every passing moment, one is bound to spill some here and there, even being aware of the consequences.. That's why forgiving oneself is an essential skill to master the art of worthy living. Preetha Raj
