Gurbani- My Calling

-
And baby u can never know how you inspire me, how your dreams continue to penetrate me.... 

 never can you know the pain in my sweet embrace, behind my searching eyes, the long waits, 

No, the whiff of my essence can never get to you, never touch you, for you roam in the mundane, u are bound to the mud, to your afflictions. 

For you can't even dance in the beat of your own heart....but oh how your silence weaves in a new song in me, stirs a new thirst for  life and a reason for me to be..tears me down and lifts me up. 

Sometimes I wonder if it;s really you or is it something greater I see in you, something divine working through you~

      i like the fact that, while your pictures are in the shadows, your writings are vivid and clear. Contrasting things balancing each other. Spiritual too?

Lament

Today I dreamt once more of our indelible beginning... With dry nostalgia,  I found myself drawn to the dying embers of that distant memory  Had I not seen you   on that early spring morning  flushed with a golden mist, imbued with the fresh scent of tulips,  with light dancing through the treetops, and water dews like sparkling jewels adorning the thickets of grass. I could still feel  the sweet warmth of sunshine seeping through my skin... the dawn chorus of the birds echoing through the forest, the slow enchantment of the dream-filled blooms, where the gossamer-winged butterflies swarm like confetti, sprinkling its fairy dust through the wind. Following the sunlit trails,  I reached that fateful place. Underneath the majestic oak, there lay a sleeping beauty. the slow and silent breaths blending with the gentle breeze,  playing a melody that sweetly stirred my heart. A stranger so familiar as if I've been yearning for forever. As those sleepy-jeweled eyes fell on mine,  a smile

The Gift of Freedom

I n the end, all your left with are these moments, myriads of stars of various experiences, dangling in the dark, glimmering in the vastness, pushing the limits beyond the set boundaries fabricated through generations, fabricated by ourselves. Instilled in us are all these preconceptions and prejudices and slowly yet together we break from these restrictions, through our own little battles within, through these revolutions we bring inside ourselves, towards a better tomorrow, slowly but surely evolving.. separately yet together. All these different individuals, stories pulsating, coalescing into one. Each of these unaccounted, unseen struggles and sacrifices bubbling into these little gifts of freedom passed down through the ages- from the gallant, from the outcasts, from the rebels, silently building a stronger, wider foundation for us to stand on. Their eccentric visions paving a wider road for us to tread in, wider perspective to grasp on- one that accepts const

Warm Embrace of Nature

As I glanced at the sunbeams dancing through my window blinds and the rumbling of the winds softly fill in the silence, I felt a deep pleasure within. I sensed a warm healing presence enveloping me into a big bubble, permeating and expanding. I closed my eyes and took it all in one deep breath and it flooded over every inch of me. Such peace, such delight, such warmth, such bliss, we can hardly experience even with the things we most covet in our hearts. And yet how simple it is to attain.  Seems as though the simplest of men are the most content in life, the ones who find happiness. We, on the other hand, make our life complex, chasing after things that might make our unsatisfying life a bit better, may it be riches, romance, that perfect job, social status, places or something that might give meaning to our lives. We spend our whole lives pursuing it with the false hope of fulfilment. Although it might make our lives easier, alone these possessions can never quite the storm i

Love Comes Softly

""Sometimes love isn't fireworks, sometimes love just comes softly"                                                                                                   --Janette Oke          Back   in the days there I was, a young heart and a fire burning inside.  My love, fiery and full of passion. But then I met those eyes, there was an immediate recognition, an instant connection. The strangest thing, she had a familiar presence, like an early evening dream. Out of nowhere these feelings rushed in, and I knew it was different, she was the one. After 6 years of marriage, still I wonder what's going on in her head, what makes her heart flutter, as crazily as before I am still in love with her, she still is my muse. Not always so of course, but time and again. For, like the waves of ocean marriage has its hard times. ....
