Living in the heart of a great big city, noises, all around you. Open your window and you hear the sounds of sirens, people, the incessant chatter of the world running towards something, for something, the rat race neverending, constant... Someone is running to catch a bus, another is running away from home, yet another is running to get home from the rain and another is braving the storm to get to work. Movement, arising and subsiding….how this world thrives on constant motion…
My window faces a busy street, a glimpse onto the mechanism of a great metropolis. Motion, fluid and irrepressible, day and night, not everybody’s cup of tea I imagine, but there is a reason and a season for everything is there not?
But wait a moment….pray what is this?
Silvery light coming into my little home….
Ahh if you were here beside me dear reader, you would see what I see, feel what I feel when I say that this radiance dazzles my eyes in the subtlest manner possible, imbuing my senses with a tranquillity unknown before. Suddenly everything is getting quieter and quieter….shhhhh don’t make a move, my friend.. it is getting quiet...be still…..
The magic of the full moon pierces veil after veil, through the darkest of nights and brings a sense of calm into the busiest of these London streets…
And here I am sitting before my little altar, bathed in pure light, millions of magical moonbeams shining onto me, through me, into the very fabric of the deepest recesses of my soul..bringing the joy of the heavens themselves…I do not know if there is a heaven and if so if there is one or many, but I do know one thing dear reader, if there is more than one heaven, one of them is here..me in the image of my Lord, bathed in the Lord’s light!.

The Canvas of my Heart! - A Tribute
I would like to thank the creator of my existence for the close friends who walk with me through the canvas of my life, companions who have held hands with me in the truest sense.
These soulmates who come into your life to support you, guide you, comfort you and accept you as you are...such folk are indeed priceless and rare. They dont just understand you, they know you, often in moments when you do not seem to know yourself. And how blessed you are to know them too. More often than not, you do not find yourself surprised as you get to know them, it is almost like you already know them from a time, a place before.
Sometimes we have to embark on journeys by ourselves, go through periods or phases of time on our own, face situations where we seemingly feel all alone, yet it seems that God sends us the right people at the right time, to give that helping hand be it in the form of a hug or a pat on the back, a listening ear or a word of heartfelt advice when we need it.
These are people who have cried with you, laughed with you ( or laughed at you..heheh), watched you lose the loves of your life and pushed you above them, before them to grasp stars seemingly beyond your reach.Some of them grew up with you, through all those vulnerable and weak moments we all go through.. yet never losing respect for you, but only loving you even more, for being the person you are, warts and all. Others come across you along the way. They acquire a healthy curiosity about you, about what makes you tick and whether you seem different or not; they find common ground with you and blend into your world and you into theirs.
Truly such folk can only belong to the same branch of the tree as you do, for how else could they know you and love you unlike everybody else?
Sometimes you want to keep them with you, around you always, a comforting, a familar clique always around and by your side, an insurance policy against the vagaries and vissitudes of life. But life takes them on their own paths to different places and situations. You have to let them go, to do their own thing, grow in their own ways. The bonds however remain and no matter where they are and no matter how far, the ties of the heart never fade. Some move on and away from the stream of your life to meet challenges and make discoveries of their own without you and hard as it may be, you have to let them go even if it means seemingly forever. But then you ask yourself, what is forever exactly? Do physical boundaries really separate us from each other? But you love them all the same, you send them your prayers, your love, your energy of goodwill, your Grace to live their lives to the highest and the fullest...and there are always moments when you chuckle to yourself of times gone by. Thank you for the memories you always will be on this canvas..
With your nearest and dearest, you find yourself wanting to give of yourself, you want to express your appreciation of their presence, their essence, you want to communicate to them how much they mean to you. Their happiness is your happiness, ahh how it warms your heart to do something for them, to give, even the slightest nonsensical thing, it means ever so much.
You guys know who you are, you can be counted on the fingers of my hands but oh how priceless and dear you are in everyway, not for having done anything, but just for being you. All those who have touched the canvas of my life and disappeared into the fading hue of another colour, another experience, thank you for having come into my life albeit for a few glorious moments, you are loved just as much, wherever you are, my prayers and my love are with you.
Thank you for being there, oh friend, oh lover, oh brethren, oh companion in soul... I am and will be around for you too in one form or another..always!

Journey on
Its good to be back into the world of words again. I have been away lately, involved in a number of things requiring a great deal of my time and attention and so a visit to this space had to be postponed, until now.
I have much to share and much to learn with you, this journey goes on...
Journey on oh companion
for the road ahead promises more
if you feel lost in need of reunion
look ahead for you are set to soar.
If the world about you
bewitches with all its beauty and drama
fear not the shade, colour and hue
for your world reflects your beauty oh descendent of Ra.
If what you seek leads you back,
to the warm sands of your birth, your home,
accept the choices which set you on this track
for peace with your past , your choices,
will open your arms to the impossible, the dreams of a fool.
Fear not oh seeker, the best is yet to come..
the road merely takes a turn,
be the fool of the pack, be free,
for a song in your heart, a smile on your lips,
beautifies this adventure,
but do take that falling feather
from the Angelic realm
another in your hat, ahh the melody,,ahh the calm!
