A song…
…I heard a song, a morning as I walked…
It came on as I passed…a song from far away, about a lost love. At least so I imagined,
I didn’t understand the words,
only the melody.
But in the low notes I could hear the loss one had suffered.. And in the
high notes understood too that it was a song about
something that could never be.
I had not wept in years.
But I did, there and then, on the side of a dusty street,
surrounded by strangers.
The melody stayed with me for years….

Merge…
Memories of our childhood
are like images painted on
a wet canvas, they merge
until they lose all shape,
often remaining only as
feelings.
~ ` ~ Brian Mynott
Eventually , all things
merge into one,
and a river runs through it
~ ` ~ Norman Maclean
In greatness,
life and death
merge.
~ ` ~ Dejan Stojanovic
Surrender is the
ultimate technique
to merge with
existence
~ ` ~ Paramahamsa Nithyananda
Thought that can merge
wholly into feeling,
feeling that can merge
wholly into thought-
these are the artist’s highest joy
~ ` ~ Thomas Mann
I merged so completely with
love
and was so fused
that I became
love
and love became
me
– ~ ` ~ Rumi

Learn to be in the present,
withdraw your energy from
