laali mere laal ki, jit dekhun tit lal; laali dekhan main gayi, khud hi ho gayi laal

love begins at home

as they say- charity begins at home, i feel love too begins at home first. it is indeed very very easy being 'nice', 'understanding of other's perspective'--- of complete strangers or people with whom we are not as related as with our family, home, folks.
it is easier to forgive those who do not matter to us in our lives and one can go about being this higher evolved self...but what about those folks at home- our own kith and kin? it is difficult to put higher ideals into practice with them.
i dont know why this happens or if it happens only with me alone. but i certainly do know that it is the basic rule....love and compassion begins at home with ones own family and then one proceed to follow the commandment- Love thy neighbour.

eternity

a moment snatched from the gentle flow of time

spiraling into a spin, dances a hypnotic swirl

but

it has to fall back, to find its setting space

time has flown past

leaving the revolting drop behind...

~*~

the gravity of truth
carries me in its firm
yet gentle caress
and i sink deep down within it
it is me the source
it is me the begining of an end
here i wait for you
my end
to come
come and liberate me forever

i dont know

why do i still remember all that?
what is it a curse- may be
