When I most needed them…

“You can never get a cup of tea large enough or a book long enough to suit me.”
– C. S. Lewis

And like I say,  “You must stay drunk on writing reading, so reality cannot destroy you.”
– Ray Bradbury Madame Zenista.

Books became my best Friends, when I most needed them. I would be so lost without them, literally!

That blue above and flowers below…

A particularly dull day that was. And within a few minutes the sky opened up and the blue kept getting bluer, and the day brighter. The flowers in my garden were in full bloom. The flowers speak how delighted I was. Life was good in that moment.

Saved and tucked away in memory for the rainy day…
(WordPress Weekly Photo Challenge)

Pink flowers, blue sky, sun, spring, summer.
The earth greets the sunny sky…

This moment…
(In response to the Weekly Photo Challenge by WordPress: moment, and works for transient  as well)
Happy Summer Solstice my dear visitors 🙂

Heritage: from a mother to her daughter

Krishna under the tree with peacocks, playing his enchanting flute, flanked by two peacock lamps. Adorned with some fragrant white flowers from our garden, as an offering of love.

Usually, as a family tradition, a mother gifts her daughter standard few things at her wedding. This is a brass idol of Krishna given by my mother as I started my new life. She loves Krishna and his stories. I myself find great wisdom in the Bhagavad Gita, a unique scripture (could very well be called secular) with answers to possibly all questions that have and will plague the human mind.

Krishna’s message : let your life be a celebration.
I inherited this idol from my mother, and also the blessing to be able to make my life into a celebration.
