I choose LOVE - Versespace

💓💖💕💗💘💛💚💙💜💞💝

 

Have you ever truly loved?
Have you ever looked deeply within and felt your heart expanding to infinity?
Have you ever witnessed your heart walking outside?
Have you ever hugged a feeling?

How is it that no one chooses love?
How is it that people shame love and embrace hate?
How is it wrong to love but Ok to hate?
How is it that this world has not drunk on love enough?

What will make us happy to be in love no matter what the outcome?

When will we choose love over anything else and be convinced that this is the bestest way?

Why do we wait for someone to give us permission to share and show our love?

Why are we afraid to trust this amazing love which will surely guide our way?

Why do people hide their love and show their hate without any remorse?

Why do we believe love weakens while actually it is hate that brings us to our knees?

WHERE do we go to LOVE and not hate?

 

Let me tell you this:

Go to Love for Love empowers

Go to Love for Love enables

Go to Love for Love creates safe spaces

This LOVE , It is here, It is now, It is within.
I choose it every time. Again and Again.

 

PS: This poem is dedicated to my friend Neelam (Sapphire of this Earth)

Dear Narrative Practices - a love letter

  Dear Narrative Practices and Ideas, How are you? Have you found all the people you need to find? My hopes and dreams for you is that you reach every storyteller-soul and re-author their thinking and ways of being! The song “Rekhe iddara sake” from kannada movie Chinnari mutha has the following words: Listen to the song here  Are mere wings enough? Birds need the sky to fly high. Are mere legs enough? Deer need speed to jump high. Are mere flowers enough? It needs the wind to spread the scent. Mere water is not enough A river needs the valley to make a river. Mere clouds are not enough Isn't Earth required for rain to pour upon? Are mere eyes enough? Do we not need objects to see? Is mere voice enough? Do we not need a song to sing together?!   This song reminds me that a person does not exist in isolation or in small confined relationships. We are more than that one relationship; we are all that we seek in our landscape. We are agents of value

The Land tells me .... ( a poem) - Versespace 16

Image
  The land offers me a memory, intangible as it can be, A memory of royal, benevolent Rajas. I wonder who his Rani was and then I slip into the memory again. Land is granted, temples built, and priests brought in from faraway lands. I wonder if the Raja and his escorts come back today to witness what they bestowed, Will they know it or even recognise it?   Lord Ganesha is the guardian of this temple, He is still worshiped in his own little shrine, placed at the entrance. Yet the main deity lies forgotten somewhere in the nether regions of the temple, While their replacement is feted in the sanctum-sanctorum.   Human memory is so fragile and ephemeral. Old is lost and abandoned, While New is painted and polished. We forget stories of the old and wish to reinvent every wheel again.   It is time to Remember the past and acknowledge it. And let go our greed for new and nearer things. It is time to Reclaim all that we already have. And to sit with

Perspective - The Rose Bush and the Snail (HCAnderson)

Image
The Rose Bush & the Snail - by Hans Christian Anderson A hedge of hazel-nut bushes encircled the garden;  but in the centre of the garden stood a rose-tree, and under it sat a snail--she had much within her, she had herself. "Wait, until my time comes," said she, "I shall accomplish something more than putting forth roses, bearing nuts, or giving milk, like the cows and sheep!" "I expect something fearfully grand," said the rose-tree, "may I ask when it will take place?" "I shall take my time," said the snail, "you are in too great a hurry, and when that is the case, how can one's expectations be fulfilled?" The next year the snail lay in about the same spot under the rose-tree, which put forth buds and developed roses, ever fresh, ever new. The snail half crept forth, stretched out its feelers and drew itself in again. "Everything looks as it did a year ago! No progress has been made; the r
