b r e a t h e the air around you and fill your lungs with a dose of reality feel relative to life and celebrate the forever that is .ex p a n d i ng. i m a g i n e the world around you and what can be done to that what surrounds you maybe one change could mean more than anything else that has been ever done i n v i t e the brightness of light with arms wide open and though at times the back appears to be against the wall what’s in front is a step to be taken take that chance l i s t e n to sounds that whispers make to the echoes of wind and feel them slipping in and out of the tunnels that you have created and take notice of how they wrap themselves around the bridges that have been built o b s e r v e the child in you who wants to dance and sing hop and skip, run and climb jump and scream, laugh and cry and feel proud of what you can do as the child inside-- playful, unembarrassed (and don’t forget to) e x i s t [This message has been edited by Sudhir Iyer (11-16-2002 10:33 AM).] |

Excellent, again! You've explored many facets here and done it well. The last line makes me think, "BE!" Whether on the shoal or on the shore, |

Outstanding write, Sudhir. The part the struck me most: ************** i m a g i n e the world around you and what can be done to that what surrounds you maybe one change could mean more than anything else that has been ever done *********************** May that one change be a step towards believing we are all equal world citizens. |

Sudhir, Sir, this is absolutely beautiful... "breathe... imagine... invite.... listen.... observe... exist....." All are such important words, and you wrote so well about each of them. Hope you don't mind that I'm putting this in my library. Thanks for sharing your thoughts and feelings with us. [This message has been edited by garysgirl (11-16-2002 11:34 AM).] |

pointing out the little things are not as obvious as we like to think. i like the way you play with the formatting in between stanzas that are a bit thick. its nice to see another desi on this site. -majnu |

Thank you all for making me feel welcome even after playing truant time and again... Lady, thank you so much for your gentle words of kind appreciation... Seymour, thanks a lot my friend... Mark, thanks you for your words... Virginia, yes.. BE ... thanks a lot midnitesun, thanks for pointing the part out... and yes... maybe... garysgirl, thanks a lot for your appreciation... and please feel free to put this into your library.. I am honoured... Janet, my heart jumps up by a few beats when I see your name, because of the wonderful way you respond, because of you being just you... thanks a lot... O Serene One, huge hugs to you too... and you are the beautiful one to see beauty in this one... Lyra, thanks a lot for coming by, reading and leaving behind a round of hugs... glad you enjoyed... majnu, from one desi to another, thanks a lot... thanks again my dear friends, regards to all, sudhir |
