Poem on Gratitude

Thought #simply #stated on owing to the #unheard , #unsung , #unsaid 

=============

My blanket started somewhere on the back of a sheep 

My pencil in the Wood 

What riches would they claim from me 

If only they knew how , or could ! ?

My meals started with a seed on a farm

My water in a lake 

The nourishment that I gain from them 

They can never ask or of partake

Do I give back to all these things ?

Which my life a comfort make 

No I just take them for granted 

Continuing to take ! 

Connections abound in the Universe 

The tenuous strands to be found 

All people , places and things connected 

What goes out must come round !

On celebrating Birthdays and Anniversaries

On celebrating Birthdays and Anniversaries 

Life ! 

This progression of moments  strung together like a necklace of beads - connected - it starts from a clasp and having gone full circle returns to it 

Years are measured on every pass of the clasp till , due to a break somewhere , we don't return .

Every time we pass that point of connection we celebrate  and review the path trodden and the way ahead .   It's the date of commencement of yet another leg of the journey for which we are given a cheering start by well wishers and friends and the race recommences. 

It's the New Year ! 

Yes it is a special day  for rejoicing and offering Thanksgiving for renewed opportunity . 

It should always be made memorable !

Life is a jig saw puzzle

Just a thought - could imperfections be the spaces left in each one so that the pieces of the world's jig- saw puzzle can fit together to make the complete picture ?

The way for the gears of the Universe to mesh ?

When a desired goal is not obtained we start looking for errors and faults , mostly in " something or someone "  (including ourselves )

 forgetting the strong possibility that its no ones fault 

" it was MEANT to be so ! "

And in future will prove to be 

" the Best thing " . 

Change the way you look at things and the things you look at change

Some lessons from Pets

Dogs are the only pets I know of, who ,on meeting again , even after a parting of half an hour ,  behave as if it's been YEARS since they last  saw you !

Silly emotional people with no control on their feelings and the display of it .

In all these centuries this is something they should have learned - or is it supposed to be the reverse - an example for humans to follow !!

Summer Solistice Musings

#Summer #Solstice musings 

Its that date again when days will start getting shorter and nights longer bringing a sense of urgency to finish tasks to be completed in daylight hours . 

See - Saw ! 

The horizontal position of the board is achieved by equal weights on either side - like the past and future ! 

Resolved to make every hour count even more than before 🤓

Trying to #understand the How , What and Where of Life

Sometimes these messages try to make life so simple , don't they ? 

Points to ponder before judging ! 

How can one just wave goodbye without asking 

1. Have you any attraction or quality that would make them want to call you or meet you ? Are you able to provide anything worthwhile ? 

2. What were their limitations , compulsions , feelings , circumstances that prevented them from doing this 

3. You built the expectation  that they would call / meet /connect  so how can you blame them for the disappointment ?

Aging is a matter of choice

Growing older annually is inevitable 

Aging is a matter of choice

#The #catalyst ! 

With increasing age , pace of ones activity should increase, not slow down,  as time starts running out .

Time to accomplish and do all those things you want to do and those that, you did not so far ,in the mistaken belief that the luxury of time was yours . 

So much yet to be said and communicated , so much yet to be created . It's sometimes overwhelming .

There are so many dreams yet  to be lived and so many people yet  to be served before the Trumpets sound - a moment towards which I am fast hurtling 

So friends if you sometimes wonder why I am so much in haste to say and do so much and you find this oppressive or irritating  please understand that somewhere I believe I am running out of time ! 😊
