Oblivious to oblivion

We humans are getting more and more engrossed in things that don't matter and replacing it with things that do matter.

We keep track of every new I phone model but we have lost track of the losing greenbelt and nature.

We are killing everything that is keeping us alive. But we are happy to live now selling our tomorrow's.

It's a sad state of affairs. We are looking externally for things which are within us. And things which are external and unnecessary we are taking it internally - like peer pressure and loud lifestyles.

Where is the sense? Where is the moral compass that controls our actions?

Wake up humanity...before we are erased from this planet. We need the planet the planet doesn't need us. Let's not forget that, ever.

Nature calling!

There is a tiny little compass within us, our conscience, the keeps giving us signals. There are times when it keeps warning us of the dangers of the city life we are living. It gives us hint of being at home when we are in the middle of nature. We are all like tiny parts of the nature we are so foolishly moving away from. And that's why we feel so much at home when we go to these places. We are parts of them - the air, the water, the soil, the fire that makes us us. Not the iphones and fancy toys we are so attached to these days. Let's make it a point to live closer to nature. To breathe pure air. To drink water unadulterated by modernism. To think thoughts that are pure and in tandem with the cosmos. There is a monk within us. Why do we hide him? Why do we not listen to him? We must. Before it's too late!

Love is all around me!

I remember this peppy song from my childhood with these lyrics love is all around me, everywhere I go...I have forgotten the singer, the lyrics and everything about this song. But these few lines have stayed with me all these years. Truly, if we look around, there is so much to love and be grateful for....from the view of the rising sun from my balcony, to the books I read, to the food I eat and the energy I feel within. It's beautiful. The whole universe is within us and there is so much to be happy about....only if we truly open our eyes and see. Life is so tiny. Today we are alive but tomorrow we may not be. So why not inhale all the beauty around so that when we close our eyes in the night, we feel the divine bliss within and cherish it, without a regret in the world. It's a beautiful life, I feel pity for thr people who waste it hating ! May God bless their souls and may they too learn to see the beauty all around, so that this earth can truly become a beautiful place to ...

Broken

I feel like the kite that was flying high in the sky And suddenly the thread broke somewhere somehow And the drifting and dancing with the cool breeze started And then slowly the gravity took over dragging down and down and down The children of the area were too busy to run after me Probably attending some class for their future The onlookers didn't give me a second look Now I'm stuck on a branch of tree High up from the battles but not high enough for the breeze to push me again and again I am tied to the tree It talks to me about being grounded About the greatness in being rooted I don't understand it Because I have only flown all my life Never been tied to a tree I have only longed for the blue sky all my life Have only heard cheering when I flew high Now the rain gets me wet and soggy And the sun makes me brittle I wish the tree knew the joy of flying Wish I could convince it the beauty seen from high up in the sky The feeling of racing the birds hi...
