The Call Of The Sublime
The Lighted Dark By Radhika Mukherjee
The gulf between the sublime and me,
Wavers some days,
Then dances away,
Delighting in just the prospect!
That long leap—
Hangs in the shadows,
Darker than dark,
Lighter than light!
Just the inward smile,
Just the breath-spirit wide,
Just a little crinkle in the heart,
Is all I have to show—
That the heart of the world had called to me one day…

Ambition’s Dilemma
Moon Rise By Radhika Mukherjee
Come now, it isn’t so bad!
Didn’t we just decide to emerge?
Didn’t we just say, we would reach — high?
Don’t hide now, don’t fade.
It’s our time to shine.
It’s terrifying, yes; what if you get seen?
But darling, how will you see yourself unless you open up?
None of it matters, none of the hurt.
Just call out to the dawn moon,
Dance in starlight,
Trail a little of the ocean on your palm…
All our ashes will whirlwind in rainbows,
And we will be, what we were meant to be:
Ascendant!

Annoucing the ‘Real Beauty’ Video Series
I’m starting a new video series, on YouTube, called Real Beauty, to share the raw, real, visceral moments of beauty that I encounter on a daily basis.
Writing a book about the Beauty Spell (Rackety And The Beauty Spell) tends to open your eyes to the beauty energy all around! And I wanted to share those moments with you![image error]
Here’s the first video of the series, a sunset video taken around a year ago when I was visiting my Ma in Bengal.
A Beautiful Bengal Sunset (Real Beauty Series, Video 1)
If you liked the video and want to see more, please do subscribe to the channel!
P.S.: I’m getting ready to send out my monthly newsletter, where I send my readers fresh life and writing updates and delicious exclusive content!

Mystery, Electricity, Connection
Today you are my way back. Today you save me in the blind sea of words. Today, I feel a little corner of the heart of the world, slipping past the guarded walls. Today I feel, earth. Today, I feel the embrace of love. Which strangely enough, turns out to be indispensable!
These three days of wilderness. Sitting still and just losing myself.
How do a few conversations fix that? What is this power, this electricity, that connection generates? How do dreams seep back, just like that? Brighter than before? More tactile than before?
How, after vacating myself to the howling wind, did I flow back into myself, into my right self?
It’s that mystery, that power, that keeps us entwined to us.
This is why, we came here, to this plane.
To love.

The World That Words Betray
Mindscape-Cloudscape (By Radhika Mukherjee)
Words tell you that here, this is the thing,
That circumscribed within me is a something…
When you go and look,
You see a too-muchness that cannot possibly be described…
So you ask them,
Are you sure you have said the thing?
Oh yes, they exclaim,
We are right, we are what is!
You stare into your ever-shifting mindscape,
Into the indescribable deep…
And know, that words cannot follow you here!
You indulge them though—
You tell then,
Yes, you said it true!
You are right, you are what is,
Without you, the world could not be seen.
Without you,
What is?
