“Stillness” – the paths we crossed!
"Were it not for the excess of your talking and the turmoil in your hearts, you
would see what I see and hear what I hear."
---- Ibn al- Arabi
The human mind is seldom quiet! How many days have we rushed
through paths and missed the little things made with great love
and wondered later how did we miss that?
"Nature does not hurry, yet
everything is accomplished."
--- Lao Tzu
A still lake reflects the images clearly. Can we practice and cultivate
stillness even when there is chaos around us? When we feel calm
we resonate and harmonize with the environment. Don’t we?
from time to time
to the moon-beholders.
- Matsuo Bashō
Today let’s slow down a little, and look around as we walk through
our everyday paths. Come back and share your beautiful poems!
I'll be right here.

हम चाहें या ना चाहें
हमराही बना लेती है
हमको जीवन की राहें
hether I wish or not life pushes me along
yellowing leaves
I hum a song
of yester year
Just beautiful, Kavitha. '
an unknown cricket
near the yellow maples
missing her song
