The journey to understand the
true nature of reality requires no paper map,
no metal compass, and no breadcrumb
left by others.
The true journey is one that is travelled
with an inner GPS fully activated,
and a mind as open as a parachute
… perfectly capable of landing exactly
where you’re meant to be.

And the day came when the risk
to remain tight in a bud was more
painful than the risk
it took to blossom.

The moment in between what you once were,
and who you are becoming
is where the
dance of life
really begins.

I don’t like formal gardens.
I like wild nature.
It’s just the wildness instinct in me,
I Guess.

gone is gone__say goodbye
to it & close the chapter.

As the Indian Legend goes;
Whisper a wish to a butterfly,
since a butterfly can make no sound,
the butterfly cannot reveal….
The wish to anyone but the great spirit.
In gratitude for giving the beautiful butterfly its freedom,
The great spirit always grants the wish…
So , according to legend, by making a wish & giving
The butterfly its freedom…
The wish will be taken to the heavens
and
Be Granted…..

As I walked on my way, I realized that it is not only the sun
which can make a day much brighter.
How is it that we deny ourselves an inner sun, shinning through the silent words of
Nature?
Even your inner colors change as the patterns of
your inner self dance to a new rhythm in life.
This must now be part of your daily movement: to recognize, greet, and
listen to all forms of nature, from the lowly moss to the greatest tree.
All share in he one life , all dance to tha same rhythm , all blend
their notes in the song of the universe.
We rejoice, our brother, for soon that song will blend into your pattern of color ,
and the doors of a new and deeper sharing will be thrown wide open…
You listen to the silent song of my
Voice….
( words : Michael J . Roads )

The pond stood still
No ripples
To grow lilies
We must leave it dirty
The water invites the frogs
Croaking singing now every night
To grow lilies in the still pond
We must create an entire world
Create a
universe…
is this how it all began ?
to grow lilies
( words : Divyam Surabhi )

You ask me ,
” can you tell us what is the purpose of creation ? ”
The world has never been created.
It has always been here ,
it is eternal.
There is no creator of the world :
God is not the creator of the world …
god is the
very creative energy of existence —
creativity rather than a creator.
He is not the poet but
the poetry…
Not the dancer
but the dance….
not the flower but
the fragrance…
~~~~~The Dhammapada
( the way of Buddha )
