Status Updates From Stray Birds

Big fan of the Bengali Renaissance at the moment

We shall know some day that death can never rob us of that which our soul has gained, for her gains are one with herself.

“I cannot keep your waves,” says the bank to the river. “Let me keep your footprints in my heart.”

“Let me think that there is one among those stars that guides my life through the dark unknown.”

ای شب تار
زیبایی تو را
همچون زیبایی معشوقی
که چراغ را خاموش کرده
احساس می‌کنم

“Once we dreamt that we were strangers. We wake up to find that we were dear to each other.”

It's so beautiful and thoughtful 🥰

"If you shut your door to all errors truth will be shut out."

Rereading due to an abundance of grief and loss.

"Rest belongs to the work as the eyelids to the eyes."

I think of other ages that floated upon the stream of life and
love and death and are forgotten, and I feel the freedom of
passing away.

This makes me sad. I don't want to be forgotten. The next few have gotten quite dark.
99
Death's stamp gives value to the coin of life; making it possible
to buy with life what is truly precious.

95
Be still, my heart, these great trees are prayers. - It makes me want to hold my breath. And at the same time, also just breathe.

Thơ thẩn chả vần điệu gì, khó đọc.

Thơ thẩn chả vần điệu gì, khó đọc.

Thơ thẩn chả vần điệu gì, khó đọc.

The mist is like the earth's desire. It hides the sun for whom
she cries.

It feels beautiful

87. This longing is for the one who is felt in the dark, but not seen
in the day.

It's beautiful. I don't know why, it just is.

Every child comes with the message that God is not yet
discouraged of man.

Well if that isn't hopeful I'm not sure what is.

64.
Thank the flame for its light, but do not forget the lampholder
standing in the shade with constancy of patience.

I am thankful for these types of people

58. The sparrow is sorry for the peacock at the burden of its tail.

So many references to things being better on the other side.

52. Man does not reveal himself in his history, he struggles up
through it.

I agree. Overcoming challenges reveals you better than where you have been.

After reading 37, I wonder why a friend sent this to me.

35. The bird wishes it were a cloud. The cloud wishes it were a
bird.

The grass is always greener on the other side.

34. The dry river-bed finds no thanks for its past.

This one makes me sad.

31. The trees come up to my window like the yearning voice of the
dumb earth.

The language of this one makes me smile.

"We, the rustling leaves, have a voice that answers the storms,
but who are you so silent?"

"I am a mere flower."

I almost disagree, a bright tulip in the middle of a field is not silent, it's yelling quite loudly.
However, a rain lily is just a whisper in a dry field.

22. That I exist is a perpetual surprise which is life.
I like it

5. So carefree

Number 4.
When I cry in the future I will think of this poem. Tears are necessary to stay in bloom

I cannot choose the best. The best chooses me.

"Bạn mỉm cười và trò chuyện với tôi về những điều không đâu nhưng tôi cảm thấy đó lại là điều tôi chờ đợi từ lâu."
