No matter if you are a grandparent, so long as our parents are alive, we enjoy the moments of being a child. A life will exist, concerned with our personal affairs, until they are no more.
Even when death is a relief from old age, we can't help but mourn the loss. With hearts raised in gratitude for the treasure house of memories, we say our goodbyes to that life, without whose presence we wouldn't have stepped into this world. Thank you.
In replaying painful thoughts, I am no different from the cow chewing the cud. Over and over, it churns the agony in the dark cavern. In validating the torment inflicted, engage in surging self-pity. Unable to wrest control from my unremitting mind, I self-sabotage.
Do desist, my heart. Spit out the bother, for it is not your burden to carry.
Words can inspire, rouse, incense, lead, hurt, incise, heal, kill, revive or hail.
The way we employ them sets the course of our destiny. Fireballs shot will singe our palms before thrown, while fragrant words linger to revitalize withered lives. The choice is ours.
Not a mean feat to build a core with the fierce majesty of the peer, peerless Himalayas.
Holding up to the harshness, even as the environment eats into my senses, I feel the cut deep within. Yet each leaves a facet, polished to shine bright.
Complaints can breach embankments, whereas the refusal to give in with dogged perseverance builds resilience. Rising with such buoyancy will find me one day as the peer, peerless Himalayas.
The fingers of frost caress the fallen leaves. When did you fall, my love, so green? Year after year, I rush in eager to embrace your abundance, yet unheeded, you gently depart.
Knowing my breath can bruise your tender buds; you wisely let go. Away and away, you sway until you return to Earth. Though withered, I breathe your fragrance and fall as a snowflake beside you.
Parachuting into the mind come thoughts unbidden, unwelcome, compounding on challenges knee-deep. We find ourselves hapless with no idea of patterning the design that leads us to a merry dance.
No one but we can save ourselves from the challenges that swamp our lives. Stand up and be counted.
The call rises from within, a thirst to prove that we hold our destiny to ransom.
Honouring ties that bind us eternally, you unhesitatingly stepped out to plant sprigs of hope far and wide. With pure-hearted spirit, the joy you lit will create ripples seamlessly brightening lives.
In travelling beyond borders, you’ve sparked an awakening call to arise and march ahead! With all our gratitude and love,
When her life was at a crossroads, she conceived. The new life helped heal fragmenting bonds, yet time inevitably fraught changes in the mother-to-be.
Now the joyous birth of her child is clouded with the uncertainty of illness. As she struggles to cope with the devastating pain, it is the thought of her son who anchors in her the will to live.
The little one, though days old, holds in his fist prayers from across the world. Our wishes are for the baby to grow into manhood with his lioness of a Mom beside him.
Who would have imagined that we each have a hidden veil? The causes of the past bundled up as karma has the power to hamper our perception. With such a shaky foundation we tend to make shoddy judgements.
Yet, in breaking through such impediments, we see the sun of wisdom shining.
