Birthday Poem :)

 THE SKY, a day before my birthday - 7.10.2019 :) Today is almost a Yesterday The dusk has crept in  Another day has come to an end  Another year just went by  The sun, the sky, the light, the trees Almost a history now  A leaf may fall off tomorrow  A bird may put up a nest on the branch The sun may hide itself behind the clouds The sky mayn’t be as bright either Thank you God for a wonderful wonderful year Impermanent every moment was Yet, there was magic in all Some days were good  Some days weren’t as good Yet, I lived, I laughed, I loved,  I learnt, I forgave, I grew and I survived  So grateful for yet another amazing year A year, so beautiful for all beings May there be peace, love and happiness May humans remain human  Filled with Compassion, Love and Empathy  May there be humanity  For all kinds May there always be sunshine; and May we always have the str...

Fall - Part III (when everything feels just right)

Sunset View at Tachog Lhakhang, Paro Bhutan Hello October:  It Feels Just so Right  The sun doesn’t burn the skin anymore;  The cold hasn’t started freezing us as yet; People almost appreciate this perfect combo;  Yet we decide not to; Looking for something that's not there; Looking for a little more & a little less; Unknowingly we invite the cold dry winter again!

Fall - Part II (when its time for change)

Nami Island  When the colors change;  And the leaves fall; You know its time to let go of negative energy and things that doesn't serve you anymore;  It's time to reflect and revive; It's time for change; A change for a better You, Me and All :)

Fall - Part 1 (a season to let go)

Nami Island, one fall Fall:  A season to renew and revive yourself with positivity;  A season to let go of your fear, anger and greed;  A season to forgive yourself and others;  A season to celebrate, wine and dine; A season you lose to gain a lot;  A season that smell freshness, wetness, fallen leaves and nature; A season more than just a season;  A season to start over new
