LOVE AND GOD MOTHER AND CHILD

LOVE AND GOD MOTHER AND CHILD

I CAN SEE LOVE MOTHER

Where can you see love my child ?

I see love in your eyes mother

I feel love in your big warm hugs

I hear love in your honey sweet voice

I smell love in your enchanting breath

Come here my child

Let us bathe in the glory of love

In all Gods creations love abides

Let us see ,feel ,hear and smell love ....

I see love in the blossoming wild rose

I feel love as the sun rays come close

I hear love in birds chirping with mirth

I smell love in the wet Mother Earth

I see love in the earth kissing the sky

I feel love touching the sea waves mingling by

I hear love in the sea's roaring beseech

I smell love in drifting sand on the beach

I see love in branches embracing on the tree top

I feel love touching the pearly white rain drops

I hear love whispers of swaying paddy crops

I smell love in the feathers that birds drop

I CAN SEE GOD MOTHER

Where can you see God my child ?

I see God in you mother

I feel God when you hold me tight

I hear God when you sing even out of sight

I smell God when you kiss me day and night .

Come here my child

Let us see God in all that is around

In all HiS creations God abides

Let us see ,feel ,hear and smell God abound

I see God In the sun smiling bright

I feel God soaking sun rays in my prayer

I hear God In the silence of the night

I smell God In the stillness of the air

I see God In the radiant colors of the rainbow

I feel God In the morning mist that blows

I hear God In the buzzing of the busy bees

i smell God In the sweet cold fresh breeze

I see God In the lofty mountains touching the sky

I feel God In the water that flows in rivers rolling by

I hear God In the pitter patter of the rainy showers

I smell God In the fragrance of the beautiful flowers

I see God In the kind old man bent on his knees

I feel God in the butterfly perching still on my nose

I hear God In the dogs barking at the door

I smell God in my cat snuggling close

SO DEAR MOTHER

Is Love and God here in you and me

Is Love and God everywhere we see

Yes my dear child

Can you see all that i see

I see love and God in you my child

You are my smiling sun

FUN LAUGHTER HEALTH AND HAPPINESS ARE CONNECTED

Are you waiting for a special occasion to enjoy life and have fun and laughter ? If you are then you are making a gross mistake and loosing out a lot in life .Having fun and laughter in your daily life in the present moment makes you more creative ,productive ,loving ,happy and accepting and all this contributes to increasing self awareness, internal peace and overall health .

Having fun means you do what you enjoy doing keeping in mind that it has the capability to enhance your physical ,mental and spiritual health .Fun which gives you inner happiness that is fun which your soul enjoys is what helps you to grow holistically .Only when we establish happiness within ourselves we can create a better self and a better world .

Don't take life too seriously you could harm your health. Being spiritual does not mean being serious .In fact when you enjoy what you are doing you get connected more to your true self ,you get more tuned to your inner being .....for your inner being your soul is basically a happy peace loving kind soul and by nurturing your soul you cultivate true inner happiness .

Some people think it's selfish and irresponsible to have fun with so much of misery around .But in fact having fun de stresses you ,relaxes you and keeps you mentally and physically healthy .It makes you capable of giving love ,compassion and happiness to others .

Mental health requires soul happiness .Only when you feel healthy,happy ,okay and good inside you can be of help to others and a useful member of the society .If you are stressed or depressed you can neither be of help to others nor can you make yourself or others happy.

As we grow old we forget to have fun ,we no longer do what we were enjoying earlier thinking it is beyond our age .Thats the commonest cause of depression while aging . We succumb to societal pressures with the belief that fun loving activities are only for the youngsters and most fear that their peer group and the youngsters may not look upon it kindly .

But in reality what I have experienced is different .Most would love to celebrate life as they did in their young days but feel hesitant to do so and thus loose out on creating fun loving happy moments of life .

The heart of the old beats with same rate and rhythm as the heart of the young. "We don't stop playing because we grow old;we grow old because we stop playing " George Bernard Shaw.

Sharing some of my musings of my happy fun loving soul who loves and enjoys nature

AM A HAPPY PEACEFUL KIND FUN LOVING SOUL

I am a happy peaceful kind fun loving soul

I wonder why I always love laugh and smile ,

I hear my friends hellos even from over a mile ,

I see wisdom confidence ,faith and strength coming my way ,

I want to be compassionate ,trustworthy and never go astray .

I am a happy peaceful kind fun loving soul

I wonder why I jump with joy and bliss everyday

I hear Gods sweet angels sing and pray

I see the innocent kids happily dancing away ,

I want to also join them to sing ,dance and play ,

I am a happy peaceful kind fun loving soul

I wonder why the sun shines daily so very bright ,

I hear the devoted priests chanting with all their might ,

I see the humble sun rays warming all creations

I want to also live with humility and warm loving sensation

I am a happy peaceful kind fun loving soul

I wonder who the beautiful moon is wooing ,

I hear the stars around vying and cooing ,

I see the clouds gliding gracefully with charm

I want to hug them all with my wide open arms.

I am a happy peaceful kind fun loving soul

I wonder from where the vast mysterious sea comes from,

I hear the myriad lofty sea waves roar and strum

I see far far away the sea kissing the sky ,

I want to fearlessly sail on waves riding high ,

I am a happy peaceful kind fun loving soul

I wonder how this majestic tree was formed from a tiny seed

I hear the birds chirping merrily together and flying in great speed

I see millions of ants marching in rows without stampede

I want to also live with love and kindness without ego and greed .

I am a happy peaceful kind fun loving soul

I wonder when I will unite to become one with the Divine

I hear a whispering soothing sound in my hearts mind

I see HIS gracious Hallo around glowing with a shine

I want to feel HIS Divine embrace and get entwined

So are you ready to have some fun and nurture your soul 😄😄😄.........

DO SOMETHING DIFFERENT ;which makes you happy ....do share what it could be

DOES FAMILIARITY BREED CONTEMPT ?

DOES FAMILIARITY BREED CONTEMPT ?

Most of us have heard this often " Familiarity breeds contempt " Is this belief true ?Is it really familiarity that breeds contempt or is it the consequences which arise after becoming more intimate ?

One would think that being more familiar may pave a way for better love and understanding rather then contempt hence I would rather believe that " familiarity should breed liking rather then contempt " For if more exposure has a hold on developing social relationships then, as we come to know more about others, we should come to like them more.

But unfortunately it is often seen that the more we come closer ,we tend to disregard each other start finding faults ,and ignore all their good traits which we had earlier appreciated .We become judgmental ,demanding and disappointed for not being given what we think is due to us as per our expectations .These thoughts spring from a feeling of possessiveness which creeps into the relationship .Such beliefs can prove to be harmful for married couples and even for best of friends .It’s better to tear down pride than allow pride to tear down relationships.

However sometimes familiarity does make you aware of true negative traits so that you decide to be at a safe distance from the negative energy

An Aesop's fable ends with the moral derived being : Familiarity breeds contempt

When first the Fox saw the Lion he was terribly frightened, and ran away and hid himself in the wood. Next time he came near the King of Beasts he stopped at a safe distance and watched him pass by. The third time they came near one another the Fox went straight up to the Lion and passed the time with him, asking him how his family were, and when he should have the pleasure of seeing him again; then turning his tail, he parted from the Lion without much ceremony. Moral : Familiarity breeds contempt

Amongst hindi proverbs which describe this saying to the nearest are ....

Door ke dhol suhavane lagte hain ...The drums sound better at a distance

Ghar kee murgi dal barabar ....Self possessions even when valuable are never valued

FAMILIARITY : CONTEMPT OR LOVE

Strangers in life's journey come together

Each unique and perfect in their own cadre

Looking forward to bonding with love

Not knowing how much familiarity is enough

First impressions are said to usually last

But alas ! when more is revealed these change fast

The nearer they come the more closely they see

What looked pretty from far may now look ugly

Is coming nearer the reason or something else ?

How does intimacy result in this unpleasant digress ?

Emotional closeness and love raises expectations

Expectations not fulfilled lead to frustrations

Over time happiness seems to wither away

Dishonor and negative energy comes into play

Differences are neither accepted nor agreed upon

Good vibrations and feelings appear to have gone

You don't value each other as much as you should

You take them for granted feeling they are not that good

Devaluing each other creates painful conflicts and contempt

Valuing relationships needs a constant conscious attempt

For familiarity to breed a lasting loving equation

Give emotional support and respect in all situations

Leave ego aside and accept the others position

Embrace differences as part of a beautiful relation

So what do you think ? Does familiarity breed contempt OR love ? Do some people treat strangers better then their family members ?

Please share your views .

HAPPILY EVER AFTER IS A CHOICE

HAPPILY EVER AFTER IS A CHOICE

Many years ago I once joked that if a renowned newspaper ever wanted me to write my views on happiness in marriage .I’ll always believe in a happily ever after. “Happily ever after is not a fairy tale. It’s a choice.” God gave me this beautiful grace for the time he had destined it for us and I feel truly blessed and grateful .

Looking to marriage to make you happy is a fundamental mistake.It is YOUR OWN HAPPINESS that you bring into your marriage that makes it so wonderful and beautiful .

Some one very rightly said " A happy marriage is the union of two good forgivers " When two imperfect people refuse to give up on each other ,argue less ,care and share more and love more it becomes a perfect marriage.

Given all the tough times and conflicts which come hidden in each happy package with some sigh- able melting moments of pain and love ,it is love at the end that wins Love crosses over all hurdles and makes you see commonsense .Love is always bestowed as a gift ,freely, willingly, and without expectation.We don't love to be loved ,we love to love.

Remember that happy couples are not couples that don’t fight. Rather they’re couples who fight fair and take responsibility for their words and actions, no matter how annoyed they may feel inside during those moments but their love spark remains alive and that is what beautifies the relationship further for love endures for ever .Those whom you love are those whom you feel you have the right to fight with and the urge to make up with . For " love doesn't just sit there, like a stone, it has to be made, like bread; remade all the time, made new.”

Remember those days when you were bickering and crying out your heart due to the happenings of the day but still couldn't stop thinking of love for each other all the way for love conquers all differences .Love makes us do thinks we never thought we were capable of doing....I am sure It has happened with most of us at some bend in life .

Remember all couples from time to time experience pulls in opposing directions, between what one wants or does and what the other would prefer. They often get upset with each other but those who are emotionally mature and skill full get over the differences fast .Conflicts often become evident when emotional tensions rise high Conflicts however, needn't lead to ugly fights . One needs to cool down and then do the win win over talking leaving ego aside to find a solution that leaves both feeling good and being loved .
