Hi guys! a new post by my one and only amma =) check it out =) hope you havent fainted by the time you're done!!
Suddenly, I feel almost Divine
Why is it that I feel so fine
All of a sudden I feel almost Divine.
Ever wondered like me why,
what makes me long to go back to my childhood days?
Is it the simple and joyous ways?
What was it then.
Being in the moment,
today being taught as tool in yoga classes, hey?
Now that I’ve come almost midway,
I have come to realize,
that I’ve somehow lost my way.
I need to stop.
Feeling threatened each day,
Something’s gone missing I have to say.
Where did I go astray,
that I find myself in this wreck today?
Taking a deep breath,
I dive into my life gone by.
To unearth the treasure,
Unnoticed, I left behind.
I try to recall every small incident,
Which brought me pure joy and fun.
I need to reconstruct the life that was,
Memories, grateful I can pull them out from.
Let me recount from morning to night,
Things that cost not a Pie.
That made life worthy of living,
and Oh! what a delight.
Early mornings under the open sky,
gazing at the sky so wide.
Dreams to be dream t, nothing seemed impossible.
Experiences waiting to be explored,
And boundaries, did they even exist?
Hours spent watching ants and other beings
go about their task
as if nothing could stop them
from doing their part.
(Today this would be termed "idling away your time")
Walking through the woods,
to school each day.
Feeling so secure in Nature,
like in no other way.
I do not recollect being under the microscope,
for each one was busy doing their own.
Life has a way,
of helping us learn.
So beautifully and lovingly.
But are we willing to wait at all that long?
What is it I ask again,
That made me so happy and so fine?
Ah,the smell of freshly cooked food.
Had us salivating.
Smell I recollect even today,
Every detail, as if i ate it devour'ingly today!!
Time seemed infinite,
No one seemed in a hurry,
People and Objects floating around,
Creating this feeling of being in a water-bed.
Relaxed and content,
soaked in the moment like a cherry.
Actions well thought out before being done
Not to talk about discussions that followed thereafter on!!
Surrounded by family and friends,
Shepherding you in invisible ways.
Always sharing and loving,
everything was done in caring ways.
Life was simple.
Yes, no fancy house, no fancy clothes or shoes.
Have I not yet learnt,
The role, they DO NOT really play?
Today I have retraced my steps.
To create this little world,
I so much desire for myself
and my loved ones', yes.
Cause I feel almost suffocated,
in this artificial world.
Where everything is but a lie,
waiting to blow on our very face,
before it is really too late to find out why.

while most of the blogging has been done by one member of the family mainly, time has come for her to be blogged about. Every dog has its day?? The first is the effect of serial watching (on mother-in law's part) which is influencing the youngest daughter-in law!! The dishoom dishoom seen in the serials came to life physically when Lalith senior tried to replace some money in Lalitha Juniors bag. She was caught red-handed and she would have nearly become red handed because of the way her hand was twisted? pinched? the picture of the injured hand will follow soon and will be the testimony of such action.
Now the youngest d-i-l has 2 front chipped teeth. No no don't get me wrong there was no dishoom dishoom serial style. This is her version ofcourse something about tripping on her blanket and falling on her face and chipping her teeth. a plausible story? sleep walking? don quixote style fighting some windmills? anybody's guess!!
