In this investiture of fleshly life A soul that is a spark of God survives . And sometimes it breaks through the sordid screen And kindles a fire that makes us half-divine. Savitri, Book 11, Canto V

Bougainvillea

"A hiddeen Bliss is at the root of things.
A mute Delight regards Time's countless works:
To house God's joy in things Space gave wide room,
To house God's joy in self our souls were born."

my room through the window? Love-some say -enters in secret steps!

the moon is also my neighbour

The Moon visits my personl sky above our house-or sometimes on a
corner behind some trees or leaves as is in this image.
She creates the whole sky for getting a place and smiles at me.

Good morning!

Yesterday I was in a little hurry while watering the plants. It's
because the sun already appeared with his sober hues. While moving to
the eastern corner I felt a whisper - as if someone was calling me. It
was silent -but I felt the call. Suddenly, I discovered it-the tiny
rose in the corner. I had overlooked her and was completely unaware of
her existence so far. As I looked on it I heard -"Good morning!"
It was smiling in the cool air.
A silent response instantaneously rose and I told -"I love you!"

the eye of the world

Everyday I go my roof garden in the wee hours to water the potted
plants. It's dark-as dark as night. I begin my day before the Sun
begins. So he wishes me a Good Morning everyday as he appears. I
reciprocate silently with my adoration.
I watch every step of his coming and it's the most beautiful hour of the day!
I live in a place which is not an ideal place for viewing sunrise. But
while watching him rising –as he almost leaps up in the first few
moments I forget that there may be more beautiful scene with the sun
elsewhere!
It is the time of aspiration-for light and a beginning.

So this is for sharing my time with my Flickr friends.
