வாழ்க்கை

This is an incredible image. The sun looks like it is both in the sky and in the water forming two suns.

அந்தி வேளையில்
குருதியில் தோய்த்த
அகண்ட ஆகாயத்தில்
ஒய்வு தேடி நான்
மேற்கு நோக்கி
பலாயனம் செய்கிறேன்
வழியெங்கும் விண்மீன்கள்
கைகொட்டி சிரிக்கின்றன
என் மறைவில் மட்டுமே
அவை ஜொலித்து பழகிவிட்டன
விடிவானில்
வெள்ளிக்கீற்றுகள்
மவுனமாய் விழுந்து உடைவதை
அவை அறிவதில்லை
தாலி அறுந்த
விதவை நட்சத்திரங்களின்
ஒப்பாரி என்னை தினமும்
துயில் எழுப்புகிறது
கிழக்கில் மீண்டும்
உதித்து எழுகிறேன்
இன்னொரு
பயணத்துக்காக…
– விஜில் குமார்

“The pursuit of truth and beauty is a sphere of activity in which we are permitted to remain children all our lives.” ― Albert Einstein

I get to begin the day with a quote from my figurative dad, Einstein and the wise voice of Rabindranath Tagore. How close to the inner child can I remain? That is where imagination flourishes and the beauty of life is most easily revealed.

Let’s Dance

Elisa is a wonderful photography. It must take incredible patience to find a shot like this and then find the word words to further explain it. It brings to life the dance we call life. What words can describe my life?

I am I am I

This beautiful poem requires little explanation. Whatever I live through. I end up back at I.

I am IWe think these words were found in a Mennonite Church in Canada. This layout is by Janet Brewin – thanks to her “calligraphy” (my description) or her “neat handwriting” (her self-effacing description). They were words my mother treasured and which were used at her funeral.

How Amazing You Can Be

My day is reversed. I was working on dissertation things this morning, watched some basketball this afternoon, and Kathy and I went for lunch. A former student is down here for a basketball camp and I have watched him twice. It is always interesting to make connections with the students after a couple of years and see what has changed.
I loved the bear cartoon too much to pass up today. What we will do for friends?

Music gives a soul to the universe, wings to the mind, flight to the imagination and life to everything.

I get to listen to CKUA on the Internet and it allows me to feel like I am at home still with the eclectic music and shows. Sometimes, it does not have to be on and I am listening to my own music.

The happy lamppost!

This reminded me of a picture that Kathy took as she drove down through Glacier National Park. It has the same quality of being framed against the blue sky. Enjoy.

I can hear your heart beaming
Your light shinning through
The bluest of skies, crowned
By a Lei of yellow and green
Enhancing the azure above.

Craft

This is a beautiful way to describe the role of poetry in a person’s life, or any writing for that matter

Haiku: SWING

This is a follow up to yesterday’s re-blog and some reading of articles today. Play makes us better humans. Enjoy.

It don’t mean a thing

Although, LaDona writes about music this could apply to life generally. It is sort of like having some mojo or a spring in your step. The other thing is if we walk with a little swing people might wonder what music we are listening to in our heads.
