Looking Through Another's Eyes quote: I would find Nirvanah for although I have not one sheep, I do have one green pasture and in that pasture I would seek Nirvanah I would find heaven's door in that green pasture where a child lays in slumber though not guarding one sheep, in Nirvanah Where is your Nirvanah? Indeed, is it in writing the last line to your poem? And did you sweat and toil and trouble yourself so? Or is it only a rambling of words that will not give meaning nor pleasure, and shame may come of it, in Nirvanah? When my time comes, and I would dwell in the place of Nirvanah, if I may but grace Him and share with Him my toil of words, I will then be in Nirvanah. ~*~ ©Karilea Rilling Jungel 22 July 2000 |

And Nirvanah will be in you Kari, thoughtful poem. You did the words of the prophet proud. Kethry Here in the midst of my lonely abyss, a single joy I find...your presence in my mind. Unknown |

Very nicely done, One comment, You might add the in to the last line of the first stanza in Nirvanah just because it fits well and is the way the other last lines go. Very minor point to a excellent poem Gloom |

The poem seems to excel its source of inspiration that is the quotation. As I read it, I felt a sense of clarity and steadiness in it. Thanks. I've just found out that a Nirvanin is one has been "emancipated from the anxiety of re-birth." Interesting...
