I remember those wooden frames in my grandfather’s courtyard. We covered it with sheets, and made temporary shelters for ourselves on sultry afternoons, when the adults were all enjoying their air-cooled siesta inside. Those were moments of freedom, of creativity for us, when unbound by rules, we created our own worlds and played out imaginary … Continue reading Layers

If Man was God …by Aishwarya
If Man was God,
Imagine how he’d lord,
He’d drop pennies as a blessing through Gpay wallets,
He’d surprise us on our birthdays with Zomato cakes,
He’d entertain us through Co(s)mic nights,
He’d take us anywhere with Google Maps to cite,
He’d post our achievements on Twitter handles,
He’d personally reprimand us through his channels,
He’d build boundaries over the cosmos,
He’d elongate life span concocting potions farther most,
Satisfyingly mystified,
He would then proclaim with everything under his purview,
If I’m God, why do I need a bird’s eye view?

Words to guide me ….by VJ Knutson
Mother I feel you under my feet…
Mother I hear your heartbeat…
Mother I see you when the eagle flies…
Mother please take me higher…
Lens-artists Photo Challenge this week is a ‘you pick’. Reena’s Xploration challenge is a sentence to be used at the end of the post. I am indeed challenged by Reena’s words.
Joan Osborne’s words come to me:
What if God was one of us?
Just a slob like one of us
Just a stranger on the bus
Tryin’ to make his way home?
A spiritual teacher and mentor once counselled that to live a sacred life, I should look for God in all I meet. Using the prayer/ ritual above, I approach nature in this way. ‘Higher’ to me speaks not to a place above it all, but a loving, compassionate response to life.
If I’m God, why do I need a bird’s eye…

Nobody wanted to work in Parliament Street branch of the bank, but I was offered no choice. We had to comply with absurd telephonic requests, where identity of the caller could not be verified. Refusal to comply was considered suicidal. The Machiavellian pattern of acts became clear, only when news of the fraud broke out, … Continue reading Machiavellian
Day Job ….. by Emine Beasley
For Reena’s Xploration Challenge #179 I was given the last line…
If I’m God, why do I need a bird’s eye view?
“Dear God...”
I am asked for everything
As I sit above the city
Looking down on simple civilisation
A map illuminated on my table
I move resources
Apprehend criminals
Water plants and tidy streets
I try my best to do all I can for this city
Yet I still get so many prayers come in
Some simple for health and food
Some for nicer homes and hotter wives
But houses and wives don’t grow on trees
And no I can’t magic those trees into existence
If there were no poor there couldn’t be rich
If some didn’t die from disease then they would never find a cure
They worship me even though some question my existence
They call me God but I am not what they imagine
If…

The Creator wanted a connected universe, for reasons unknown to us. So, two prototypes were created, who completed each other in certain ways, and created more living beings, that were jointly owned by both. This created a basic unit of living beings called ‘family’, that owed their existence to each other, and were safer and happier in a connected state. The state of connectivity, then, spread across the world, in several expanded versions. Belonging and loyalty to one unit, created competition and conflict with others, and led to the negative emotion of hatred. The consequent myriad shades and levels of existence, form the world, as it is today.
And where are you, Woman ? At the center of the universe, but looking at yourself through the eyes of others ? Where are YOU ? Who are YOU ? Beyond the various roles that nature and society have imposed on you…
