Acceptance of truth
“Criticising others will make you unwanted everywhere”, said my dying wife. “I always knew you hated me. But you did nothing to mend your ways.” I couldn’t control my outburst even in that critical situation. “You do not own anybody’s life, action or thoughts. Let them live in their own way, and face their Karma.” … Continue reading Acceptance of truth
My fervent prayers
My fervent prayers …. at kittysverses
The favours that,
The generations long gone by,
And generation prior to ours,
Bestowed upon us,
Is magnanimous,
Is unimaginable,
It’s purely due to their sacrifice,
We are able to thrive,
They, who endured pain,
So that we lead a life of comfort,
Our parents, grandparents, and the generations long gone and forgotten,
I hope,
We would this for our kids and the generations to come,
And they remember us with pride,
And gratitude in their heart,
Oops,
I’m straying from my revered forefathers’s teaching,
That to work selflessly and expect nothing in return,
And here I am,
Excepting gratitude in return,
While my forefathers sacrificed effortlessly,
With a smile on their face, and happiness in their heart,
The path they laid,
How much ever I try to pay back,
Is unbridgeable,
I can only hope I could do a quarter of what they did,
To the generations that succeed…

other transgressions

Reena’s Exploration Challenge #107 – Unbridgeable.
Explore the chasm between a father and son, at two levels of being …. by Michael
He was the most independent man I knew and to see him slipping away was heartbreaking.
His mind had been as sharp as a tack and today when I visited him, he struggled to string a coherent sentence together.
I’d given up on him remembering who I was, I was content to visit to sit with him and when he allowed, to hold his hand.
It was in those moments when he gripped my hand that I came to understand how, despite the disease he was able to show the fear he had to confront.
There had been an unbridgeable gulf between us over time. I know he didn’t wish for it any more than I did. In the rare moments of awareness, I could see in his eyes the fear and puzzlement of why this was happening to him as he was powerless to stop its inexorable taking over…

V.J.’s Challenge #66: savour
VJs Weekly Challenge …. Join the conversation
Our youngest granddaughter loves food so much that when she takes a bite, she’ll close her eyes, hold the food in her mouth, savouring the flavour, and moan with appreciation. She is three. This is surely a God-given gift. Her sister and cousin eat so fast, I’m sure a famine must be chasing them.
I confess, I am neither savourer nor stuffer – food having lost much of its appeal for me. But I can relish the beauty of nature, or the magic of a particularly inspiring piece of music, or art, and a good book is absolutely delicious.
This week, let’s consider what we savour.

Reena’s Exploration Challenge #107- Unbridgeable
A very interesting take by Theresaly ….
Hello all, Reena’s prompt resonated with me in a more literal way today. A few days ago, I watched a film: Dream Big: Engineering Our World. Geared towards children, it was inspirational and emotional, rather than technical. I would recommend to watch something else like National Geographic: Engineering the Impossible to learn more conceptual details about various engineering projects, but the movie nevertheless gave me warm fuzzy feelings and gripped my heart with a wonderful soundtrack.
In one scene, an engineer and her team decided to take on a challenge in Haiti where the children had to cross a river with strong current often to get to their school. Every year, there are several drownings. Due to extreme poverty, the river was considered unbridgeable for a long time. I was cheering at the screen and excited to see this bridge constructed with a fairly simple design!
Sometimes…

Reena’s Exploration Challenge #107- The unbridgeable gap
The unbridgeable gap ….. by Sadje
is the host of Reena’s Exploration Challenge.
Most of us are crossing over from one season to another, in different parts of the world. Some may travel to other parts of the globe to escape the harshness in one. It is nice and predictable. It keeps us busy preparing for the next course of action, and yet another.
What happens when we see nothing at the other end?
That is today’s one-word prompt to challenge your thinking, folks…

~*~*~
According to some the gap between the haves and have nots is unbridgeable. They usually are those people who have created this gap. Right now the divide between the rich and the poor is widening into a chasm and the middle class, which is the most important part of the society, is shrinking rapidly.
The statistics say that the top 5% of…

Reena’s Exploration Challenge #107 — Unbridgeable?
Unbridgeable … by Jade Li/Lisa
There is a web of life that connects all-that-is, living and dead, past, present, future. There is no way to disconnect from it. At the same time not all of the connections are wholesome or positive, yet we have no choice but to connect with them as well.
I was passing ideas back and forth the other day with Kerfe and made a connection between the micro-filaments of fungi that live underground and intertwine with the roots of the tree that enable trees to communicate with each other and how our minds store memories through the neural networks.
I see where things shift and morph through time. For example when a drought comes, the tree is informed and shifts its energy to functions that can keep it alive in a drought. A human memory example would be how certain traumatic memories get barricaded off and can only be…
