Stories Washed Ashore…
Sometimes when I
think of life,
I feel like a
piece of driftwood…
washed up
on a shore…
only to
float away…
across an
ocean…
like a driftwood…
No address, nothing…
just no more
human…
A sea of possibilities…
Beckon…
beyond twilight zones…

(words from Harukami , Tuhin roy, Avinash , quotes…)
The songs of trees…
We are all
Trees…
.
The Green
smoke…
Listen to
it’s songs
…your own soul…
All our wisdom
is stored
in the Trees…
~`~ Santosh Kalwar
..Universe in
ecstatic
motion…

Our most intimate
contact with
Nature…

Natya…(dance)
There will be no wisdom, no learning,
no art, nor craft, no device,
nor action that is not found within
natya.
~ ` ~ Sage Bharatha, Natya Shastra
Breathe in…
Breathe in with the deep awareness that you are a
human being.
Then breathe out and touch the earth,
a non-man element, as your mother.
Visualize the streams of water beneath the Earth’s
surface.
See the minerals .See our Mother Earth, the Mother of
us all.
Then bring your arms up and breathe in again, touching the
trees, flowers, fruits, birds, squirrels, air and sky– the
non-elements.
When your head is touching the air, the sun, the moon,
the galaxies, the cosmos–non-man elements that have
come together in order to make man possible–you see
that all of the elements are coming into you to make your
being possible.
Breathing in again, stretch your arms and be aware that you also penetrate other
elements.
Man helps make the other elements possible.
( Words : Thich Nhat Hanh )
To heal…

Anything covered up
won’t get
healed…
It has been said “time heals “all wounds.
I do not agree.The wounds remain.
In time , the mind , protecting the sanity , covers
them with scar tissue & the pain lessens.
but it is never gone.

As soon as healing takes place.
go out & heal somebody else.

Mourning is love with
no place to go…
We do not heal the past by dwelling
there; we heal the past by living fully
in the present.
~ ` ~ Marianne Williamson
some days the memories still
knock the wind out of
me…
Not all scars show
not all wounds heal
sometimes you can’t
always see the pain’
someone else feels…
Your own healing is a powerful
contribution to the healing of
everyone…
When you can tell your story &
it doesn’t make you cry, you
know you have healed…
They say time heals all wounds , but
that presumes the source of the
grief is finite.
~ ` ~ Cassandra Clare
Sometimes your heart needs

Mother…
A mother’s love for her child is like
nothing else in the world.
It knows no law, no pity
it dares all things & crushes
down remorselessly
all that stands in
its path.

Being a full time mother

But a person to make
leaning unnecessary.
