We are now entering into another full lock down from tomorrow. All around us we are seeing the passing away of loved ones. During the First Wave most of us lost some acquaintances and maybe some friends. This Second Wave has made all of us see the passing away of several friends and Family members. With suffering, confusion and frustration around us we have hit a very low point in our lives. It is precisely now that we need to stand up and see everything in its entirety. Do what you have to do with strength and understanding. Have the courage to help those who need your help and who require your love even if you meet severe obstacles.

Several friends have departed and I lost my Aunt a few days back. I had the privilege of setting up a garden for her which she thoroughly enjoyed and we spoke last week to have another section in the rear of her home landscaped. She has now moved on. That garden will be now done by her Daughter (my Cousin) in memory of her Late Mother. As with birth come death. Both are wonders in their own right. She has now moved onto her next body as is the way of the Cosmos. She had her time in this form and so do I in my current form. Although I miss her physical presence I know that she has not gone away. There is no actual separation here. I am never apart from her and neither is she apart from me. To appreciate the temporary nature of our form is a key to gaining insight to our existence. Introspection gives clarity and clarity as they say will not only give you the answers to your questions, they will dissolve the question itself.

Be strong by seeking the strength from within, be your own refuge and be the shoulder that others seek. Root out your fear and anxiety. Trust in your Self!

Why seek magic and miracles afar when you have them right in front of you? Is it because we are conditioned to do so? Yet every aspect of this cosmic play is magical. 

Why do we tend to be so blind most of the time? Why do we tend to demystify that which does not deserve so?

Beauty before us yet we focus on the ugliness elsewhere. Why not sit in balance and see both and allow them to merge into one?

Wonders galore! Ah what splendid days and nights. The bloom of the blazing  Sarakondrai makes my heart leap into the Sun to be bathed in rapturous light from within and without! 

To recognize this every day nay every moment gives us delight of a deeper sort. May my heart do so by the grace of the cool waters that nourishes me and keeps my tempers tempered.

I wish you all Peace, Love, Strength, Courage, Understanding, Poise and Tranquility.

May the Hummer in us hover at all times!
