LODGED IN LIFE

Sometimes it is the falling dusk and sometimes the rising dawn, change is what I see in them. I sometimes sit in the balcony looking intently at the passing day and feel how it hugs me and whisper in my ears. Even though change is inevitable but still the Day's consistency is maintained, though it is unique. There is an essence of  worth here. I feel this is how I get inspired by nature each day. This consistency and consonance in a being can bring sound peace, tranquility, love and thus harmony in life . 

Values and having clarity of those values add depth to ones character. The values that you are forming today for yourself will become "values" when you suffer from them and not merely by affirming them. Whenever one is caught in a rut; one should slow down inside when it is high outside and start to see imperfection perfectly.

It is always imperative to have a driving force in life; like a piece of Art without a muse  does not reach perfection. It need not necessarily be a life long goal but rather a drive which we derive from little things in life. A celebration of ones life everyday is the best way to thank the creator. Celebration and contentment gains a deeper meaning when we have wonderful people in life to share with. I am always pulled by positivity in people as I believe that without it one can never find an answer to anything in life because then one will have a meek mind with shallow questions. No quest will be triggered in the soul of an individual and again the purpose will be lost. 

During my secret visits to my school library's Literature section, I used to read poems in peace and all by myself. There is a phrase I am reminded of by Walt Whitman- 

I celebrate myself;
And what I assume you shall assume;
For every atom belonging to me, as good belongs to you.

These lines had a very deep impact on me then and they do the same to me every time I read them. Like I always keep saying  Bliss lies in loving; greater joy in giving.

Signing off for today, I would like to say: Tackle life with all your skills, overcome each and every hill. If you persist with all your will, you will enjoy life and all its thrills...!
