Joys of Life
I love to share the simple joys of my life
I like to feed the birds
And enjoy looking at the variety that turns out
I enjoy the beautiful blue sky with perfect white clouds
After a cloudy rainy day
I enjoy capturing the beauty of Nature
In my little camera
I love to munch fresh walnuts in my cereal
Dancing to the tunes of many songs keeps me fit
Day dreaming about the pleasant things from the present and the past
A cup of avocado milk shake, to shake me up
I enjoy taking time to eat, though my friends pick on me
I love to watch a plant grow
To get some simple gifts like flowers, cards, and books to see the smile on people's face

Fall's Blessing
Wow, what a beautiful sight
I was glad to go for a ride
Slowly cruising by
I came to a halt at the red light!
For the leaves to depart with delight
It was a blessing to witness the sight
Of the yellow leaves showering Mother Earth
With gratitude and love
For glorifying their lives
Bringing in gleam and glitter
To the hearts that paid due respects
In recognizing the beauty of Mother Nature!

Freedom
When one has a mental block
There is no freedom in speech
When one's mind is preoccupied
There is no freedom in action
When one's emotions are suppressed
There is no freedom in thought
When one's dominated by hesitation
There is no freedom of expression.
But realization and awareness
The two virtues in life
Brings in true freedom!!!

Dancing amidst you, the

Challenge
Compare not thee, with your comrade
For thou art different from thy friend
Let thou not let thyself down
For thou not know about thyself!
People are different
And so are their Challenges
To one life itself is a challenge
And to the other living is a challenge!
Likes and dislikes are different
For each one of us
Consider your success just success
But more number of failures,
Are equal to more number of challenges
Disappointment should not be the result
Challenge yourself, to find out the reason
Of your birth, pursue with dedication
And accomplish the unaccomplished!!

Wedding Anniversary
When I looked at the
Wedding Anniversary wishes
I just remembered this...
We usually treat it as another day
With just wishes, gifts and special treats
But how many of us sincerely
Think about the beautiful day in our life
Here we go...
It just flashed in me
Traveling back in time
To the day the wedding bells chimed!
Thinking of the wonderful day
Surrounded by family and friends,
Filled with love and laughter
Glowing with innocence and happiness
Celebrating the joy and jubilance
With fun and frolic
Blossoming around!
Walking with
Our Better half
Hand in hand
To embrace
The rest of our life
Together, for each other
To share and care
And beautify our LIFE
With unity and integrity!
To scold and hold
To cry and smile
To fail and succeed
To hate and love
To experiences all the opposites
Together in Life
For we are husband and wife!
HAPPY ANNIVERSARY

Quotations from Savitri by Sri Aurobindo and my interpretations
1. Suffering was lost in her immortal smile.
Immensity was exceeded by a look,
(That's very true with your special person in life.)
2. Whoever is too great
Must lonely live.
(Great souls' embrace loneliness and live with it because their power and strength is gained in silence, quietness and loneliness.)
3. There is a purpose
In each stumble and fall.
(The more sufferings and challenges a person experiences, it helps the person to learn life's lessons. Especially when pondered deeply about the problems, and not giving importance to the superficial pain of the sufferings. It unfolds many facts and truth especially the fact of your birth.)
4. None can reach heaven
Who has not
Passed through hell.
( All the sufferings, pain,worries can be identified as hell, and when we comprehend deeply about them and achieve a peace of mind by solving the problem and negating the pain it brings happiness, which is heaven. Thereby everyone in some way undergoes : struggles (hell) and attain happiness (heaven). )
5. One man's perfection
Still can save the world.
(Wow, how great and powerful that person could be I wish i can be that person because I always love helping and saving humanity.Truly for the purpose and not the fame.)
6. A moment sees,
The ages toil to express.
(Very true, but too painful, and as we know no gain without pain.)
7. All things are real
That here are only dreams.
(The moment we realize that we attain mukthi.)
8. Love is a yearning
Of the One
For the One.
(Yes, I can very well relate to this, I yearned for Goddess Saraswathi's love and realized it.)
9.The soul that can
Live alone with itself
Meets God.
(My inner self is calling me everyday but I keep dodging away.)
10. My God is Love
And sweetly suffers all.
(Love is God and love is me, when you are love suffering also tags along and it's a package deal.)
11. Only the pure in soul
Can walk in light.
(I wish i can become that pure.)
12. For joy
And not for sorrow
Earth was made.
(I realized this for the first time in the fourth decade of my life.)

Dandelion
Happy to see nice little flowers
Blossoming in the lawn
Glad to gather them
For my prayers.
Little was I aware,
That they were weeds
And was also wondering
Why people didn't care about them?
Now I know the reason
And will never let one
Grow in my garden!!!

Alone
One is born alone
And while among others
One should learn to live alone
For one dies alone!
Loneliness is actually healthy
To body,mind and soul
For there is less
Chattering and clattering!
Above all the best time is
Available in one's hand, so
Avail it before it's being snatched
To see the happy outcome!
Alone,unknown,before one knows
One will be treading into
The world of Spirituality!

Bits and Pieces
Bits and pieces
Make a nice patch work
A beautiful quilt
A nice tiled wall
Gorgeous tainted glass window
Or a Kaleidoscope!
Voila what have I got here
By the Great seers and saints
Good doctors and authors
Poets and writers
People, parents and partners
Myself amalgamated into One
Bit or piece of the Supreme!

Anger
I gave love and got anger in return
I did good and got wrong for a gift
I was generous but taken for granted
I spoke the truth but got insulted!
Battled with anger
I conquered the wrath in me
And here I'm socializing in the world of conscience
To sublimate the negatives to positives!
What do I have now
Solitude by my side
Peace of mind as my partner
Happiness and health!

Nothingness
For a while I embraced the word nothingness
Since my world was filled with emptiness
I had nothing to share
Neither did I dare
To speak the words of wisdom
For little did people comprehend
About my intention
For everything lies in nothingness
Was my conclusion
Inexplicable,since I knew nothing more about it
But still embrace nothingness in my world
For I feel everything is in it!

What is Freedom?
The physical and psychological mind being free from any kind of bondage is called freedom! There are two types of freedom, the physical is the outer freedom and psychological is the inner freedom. When a person is controlled or dominated by the other, it falls under outer freedom which in turn affects and curtails the inner freedom. And hence :
The freedom of speech is curtailed when one has a mental block
The freedom of action is curtailed when one's mind is preoccupied
The freedom of thought is curtailed when one's emotions are suppressed
The freedom of expression is curtailed when one's dominated by hesitation!
Realization and awareness are two virtues which brings true freedom. This new born true freedom puts us on the right track towards spirituality by freeing our soul from worldly ties and makes us fly magnificently like the Albatross!

Rebirth
The word rebirth
Brings to my mind
A new meaning.
Days prior 40 years
Rebirth was neither my wish
Nor was to be born!
But today I think
To enjoy the nectar of happiness
By surrendering to the Supreme
To experience the sweetness of peace
Achieved through Spiritualism
One should be born again!
Nevertheless the world is full of worries and queries
I need a silent corner devoid of these petty things
To think and wonder more about the Supreme
A place in between this world and that would be fine for me!
