A selfless dream

A dream created in our beautiful minds for others shall be the best of all dreams.

A purpose that relentlessly, single-mindedly drives us to fulfil such a dream by motivating us against all imminent, visible and unforeseen odds is one of the most extraordinary purposes of living, if not the greatest and ultimate purpose of living.

The one who shall embrace such a goal and live to reach such a summit shall surely be the happiest of all humans.

hic et nunc

Where is the fire when we are always heading to a pyre?

Why wait?

Why postpone?

Why neglect?

Why procrastinate?

Why not do it today?

Why not now?

Start the engine now before it’s too late! 

Here and now, always.

In equanimity

In anger, we flush our brains
In tears, we wash our face
In dreams, we live our days
In denial, we lose our ways

In arguments, we lose our fights
In trust, we discover betrayals
In smiles, we seek revival
In love, we pledge our survival

In time we learn the rhythms of life
In its ebbs and flows, we glide
In the vast unknown, we stride
In blind hope, we leap and thrive

In truth, we know nothing of what awaits
In courage to explore a new path is laid
In serenity, we calmly march ahead
In equanimity, let’s shine and fade

Different us

Only when we wake up, do we know who we are.
Some days we are irritable.
Some days we are forgiving.
Some days we are angry.
On some, we are jovial.
We are who we are but with a different shade in the morning sun.

Flawed mind

To be born a human is to carry a mind prone to be flawed!
The art of humanness is in controlling the vibrant and vulnerable sanctum in our skulls.
Those with a firm grip on the reigns steer through the vagaries of emotions safe and unscathed.
The rest of us…. well, the rest of us let loose the hounds to prey upon our emotional oscillations, hurting others and us.

Smile at fate

Fate smirked, ‘Poor man! Look at the pain in store for you.’

I replied, ‘See me have adversity for breakfast, crush misery while I walk, digest uncertainty during lunch, devour chaos at dinner and smile at death while I settle for the long night.’

Rage

Eyes express the unquenchable rage
The key to dissipating it is in our eyelids
Close them for a moment
Pause. Breathe. Give yourself time.

Everything settles, silencing the pounding heart,
Relaxing the twitching muscles,
Retracting the bulging eyes,
Calming the nerves that are firing incessantly.

Just close the eyelids for a moment
Let the world before you disappear
Let the wound inside you heal

The wayfarer

Let me be an innocent wayfarer traversing the roads of life without preconceived notions

Without an ounce of anger toward the men I meet along the way

Without judging them for who they are

Embracing everyone as equals 

Lending a helping hand to needy 

Cherishing whatever little love bestowed upon me 

Carrying with me only the fragrance of the best moments

Let me walk unhindered by emotions

My joy shall come from the walk itself rather than from the expectations in my mind.

My joy shall soar from every step taken. 

Let me be the humble wanderer in nature’s abode.

Loving all; living every moment 

I shall not differentiate pleasure and pain, for they are brothers entwined.

I shall not worry whilst I am teary eyed

I shall not hurry whilst I am fury eyed

Patience and silence – The two essentials of eternal wisdom

I shall master them or die trying while I walk the promenade of life!

Move forward…

To risk nothing, Is to lose nothing.

To lose nothing, Is to learn nothing.

Everyone wants a reset button in their lives.

To reach the safest, preferably the innocent moment.

I too wish to go back in time,

To start on a day I played with my friends,

With a cleaner heart, that’s easy to maintain.

Life moves forward in reality.

Don’t be stuck in the past that exists only in our mind.

Let’s walk forward without creating another regrettable day

That’s the simplest goal we can set for ourselves.
