Baffling – What Do You see # 339

Posted on

He claims to have bought a piece of land on the Moon.
He keeps gazing at it through his expensive telescope.
Many wealthy people have made such purchases.
What else would you do if you had more money than you needed?
I find it baffling.
You buy a piece of land here on Earth from your respective governments—
But from whom do you buy a piece of land on the Moon?
Who is the owner of the Moon, the Sun, the planets, and the stars?

As for me
I have no money
I believe in Gautam Buddha
He once said
‘ The end of desire is the end of sorrow.’
I have no desire to own anything.

Stairway to…What Do You See #337

“You should dance as if no one is watching you,
Love as if you will never be hurt,
Sing as if no one is listening to you,
And live as if this earth itself were heaven.”
― William W. Purkey

Your journey ends where the road ends
After that, your krama takes over
That can only carry you to heaven
If, at all, there is heaven or hell
On other than Earth
And even then,
Only if you have managed to transform
The very place where you currently reside
Into a paradise;
Otherwise, bound by habit,
You will turn even heaven itself into hell.

The three faces made of clay—
so serene,
as if immersed in meditation.
Only one can create this
who is, themselves,
calm and meditative.

“We are all butterflies…– Goodreads – Reena’s Xploration Challenge #422

PROMPT #422

We are all butterflies. The Earth is our Chrysalis “– Goodreads

The caterpillars have no choice but to become butterflies
But we human beings
given a chance
protest to leave past identities
hold them tightly
lest
They may lose whatever image they have
I, too, had fears, so
refused to let go of my ego
My limited beliefs about what I am
My social conditioning
to break the rules defined by others
My fears of resisting change
doubts about my capabilities
dependence on others’
likes and appreciation
to give a boost to my self-confidence
which in the long run
made me fragile
vulnerable
until
I understood that
to become a butterfly,
The caterpillar has to stop being a caterpillar
How much do you feel safe and secure in your cocoon
You have to break it, and
come out to become
a higher, “winged” being.
And so, I took my first step—hesitantly.
Then I thought to myself:
“Once you’ve put your head in the mortar, why fear the pestle?”
And then… I began to enjoy the journey.

The Daily Post- Longing for Gravity

Posted on

Longing for Gravity

You are on a mission to Mars. Because of the length of the journey, you will never be able to return to Earth. What about our blue planet will you miss the most?

It will only be possible if I’m kidnapped and forcefully send to Mars on any mission.

I love to keep myself grounded. Feet firmly on the ground. Not looking at things hanging in the air or upside down.

I’m going to miss everything about our lovable planet Earth.

Everything means everything. Right from trees, rivers, sea, flora, and fauna.

And what about my children, siblings, relatives, and friends? I will die without them.

So there is no question of me going on any mission to Mars that too when I’ll never be able to come back. What do they say ‘ over my dead body?’

ESE’ S WEEKLY SHOOT&QUOTE CHALLENGE – WHOLE

Even after all this time, 

The sun never says to the earth, 

” You owe me.”

Look what happens with a love like that.

It lights the whole sky.

– Hafiz of Persia

Making a person smile can change the world- may be not the whole world, but their world.

If we could see the miracle of a single flower, our whole life would change.

Wild Weekly Photo Challenge – Scent

“Nothing is more memorable than a smell. One scent can be unexpected, momentary and fleeting, yet conjure up a childhood summer beside a lake in the mountains…”

Diane Ackerman quotes

The smell of natural scents of dried leaves, forest, earth, and rice fields are etched in my mind.
