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…
( kovalam beach, Chennai, India)
(words from Harukami , Tuhin roy, Avinash , quotes…)

Maybe the journey isn’t so much about becoming anything. Maybe it’s
about un-becoming everything that isn’tÂ
really you, so you can be who you were
meant to be in the
first place.

Too often in life we pass by Important things.
Let’s pause, change perspective &
See things more clearly.

Find yourself always…
In rhythm…
Even if you go out
Of step…
Come back again
…remember to fall in line again…
Remain with nature…
Move on…

One of the more difficult paradoxes to accept
is that this abundance of gifts is always quietlyÂ
present and it is we who drift inÂ

Since we are the youngest children of creation, our accumulated wisdom is young, too, and so I search outside of the tiny and fragile box of humankind’s insight and understanding for the older wisdom, the more ancient and enduring
        …I have documented the rich insights and mercies

To look for a form or searchÂ
for aÂ
sound
is to stumble down the
wrong path .
The wisdom that cannot be thought,
alone reveals that which
is enduring and
real…

Breathe in with the deep awareness that you are aÂ
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 otherÂ
elements.
Man helps make the other elements possible.
( Words : Thich Nhat Hanh )

The way of these gentle giants..
&
how they heal us are
mysterious…
They are some of the mostÂ
accomplished
&
accessible
healers we may
ever
meet…
there is power that resides
in the heart of
aÂ
species…
that..isÂ
exponentially
higher than ..the power of anyÂ
individual…
The desire to know your
soul
will end allÂ
other desires.
          ~ ` ~ Rumi
My soul is my
guide.
           ~ ` ~ Rumi
( words adapted from; “Animals as healers “.. pictures taken at Kaziranga national park,India )
