[Reflections] Musings on the Wall 2011

December 31, 2011

Presenting a collection of some of my musings on Facebook in 2011. A metaphoric mural with the shades of my world within and without!

“

Eyes that see beauty, ears that hear peace, tongues that speak kindness, legs that stand up with courage and arms that reach out with love – A wish for all humanity to be truly able.

Is the pressure of your burdens becoming unbearable? Is the heat of your problems scorching your very core? Do you find time taking a snail-back journey? Do you find yourself crying, “This is way beyond my calling”? Behold! ‘Tis just a piece of carbon, getting a makeover; Know! ‘Tis just for the diamond in you, to discover!” – November 8 at 10:29pm

“

Most minds are trees that go skyward, sprouting branches, leaves and flowers and never looking back. Special is the one, like the banyan, going back again and again to where it came from – A symbol of daring to re-live the darkness of birth, honoring the past and always learning… to love and live.” – October 9 at 11:23pm

“

On a train by the window, there flashing past a young couple in conversation, here vanishing by an old man deep in thought, there an uncared dustbin, here a lush green tree – Hey life, how fleeting you are, leaving just the memory of the savored moment past. “

“

Purity of the snow flake, Passion of the candle flame, Poetry of the tear drop, Comfort of the prayer bead, Caress of the mountain breeze – Many languages of touch.”

As I placed Haiku’s baby feet on mine and walked him around the room, a drop of precious memory trickled through me… Of me, doing the exact same action on my father’s feet, as a little girl. Just realized then that no matter how zig-zag it seems, life comes around to a very neat circle in the end. Dot.

“

Does it seem like a tunnel, a prison, a well, a forest – Those dark and dangerous places of the mind? A ray of light, a pinch of freedom, the last step, the first human – Just a vision of these to get out of those mazes of the mind!” – August 31 at 12:54am

“

When the ape walked upright, there was a human; When the human walked ahead, there were new lands; When humanity walked together, there were revolutions; – A talk to take a walk, to dust one’s head and best oneself.” 
- August 23 at 11:43pm

“

Should the tongue feel sad that the eyes can speak a million words in a moment? Should the eyes feel low that the mind can see beyond those walls? Should the mind feel glum that the soul is not scared of death? ….. Should one be jealous of another?
” – August 13 at 12:38am

“

The breeze that hugs you tight when you’re low on a high place; The waves that keep coming back to you again and again; The earth that holds you up whether you rise or fall; The flame that shows how you look up to the skies with unfaltering eyes – An ode to both the elements of nature and the nature of people!” – August 9 at 12:40am

“Why revenge and hatred? Is it easier to rage and ravage? Why keep proving that we have descended from the impulsive animals? Why not the thinking race that has conquered space and sea? Why an eye for an eye? Why not a mind’s eye? Here’s to a world that sees and survives!
” – July 15 at 12:03am

“

People from high places; Families at airports; Moments of montage songs; Eyes of strangers; Lines from moving movies; Faces of faraway lands; – The splendid shades of humanity!
“- July 10 at 9:27am

“

Distant lands, exotic foods, strange faces, difficult accents, reordered routines, unfamiliar dwellings – Journeying to know just a bit more about me and the third rock from the sun.” – May 11 at 11:31pm

“Once swimming in a fluid world, now walking, running, climbing in a solid one; Once content with the rumbling gurgles, now wanting the latest tunes; Once a speck within me, now in a world of your own; – In awe of your journey, my son!
”– May 6 at 12:39am

“

Just a combination of rhythmic words, Just a permutation of musical notes – Where from, that power … to paint a smile, to wipe some tears, to raise sky high, to sow dreams and love? An ode to the waltz of lyrics and music!
”– April 26 at 12:27am

“

Some are like the patient pasture, some are like the gentle breeze, some are like the bubbling brook, some are like the sparkling flame – Textures vary, flavors vary but this half of the world holds the rope and hope of life in them!
” – March 9 at 11:25pm

“
When the fire of anger burns inside and hurting flames are waiting to scorch the person before, won’t a cool breeze flow from the corners of the brain, whispering images, painting words of a past kindness?

 was engrossed in watching a religious procession, today. Ladies decked in their best & men in silk dhotis as though welcoming their favorite son-in-law, an old man whose back was bent in a deep question mark, busy vendors, bustling priests and most of all, the god in question, in a florally decorated chariot, shining in his silence.” –
