Speaking rocks…

 

 

 

The  R O C K S …..They are visible ..but invisible…

This  happens   .only when you put your whole energy   into it…

You start looking into the inside of things….then a rock is not ..just a rock

When  I saw this rock,  the first thing that stuck me was they  that they were friends…brothers ?…probably

                                                                                                                                     S O U L M A T E S …


May be it was one rock …which became three… over the years…

 

 

 

 

You can feel they are Breathing.…& that it is

                                          looking at you…

 

 

 

I touched it and I could feel it was

                                            Breathing…

 

 

 

I touched it  and could feel  its

                                                          warmth…

 

 

 

I touched it …could feel it was

                                                 responding…

 

 

 

 

There is a great deal …it does not

                                                              speak …

 

 

 

 

There is life here …ready to be

   released…

 

 

 

 

The words comes from the very heart of it…

It comes from its very

                                                 Being…

 

 

 

 

The moment you start listening to

  wordless….

 

 

 

 

You will hear what is being said  more importantly

                                                                           unsaid…

 

 

 

 

There  are no use of words….but

                                                   Gaps in between…

 

 

 

 

When you have become fully alert & there is no

                                                            Mind anymore….

 

 

 

 

‘ Hearing is possible for everybody ; listening is possible

only for those who are silent…”
