"Have you not noticed that love is silence?
It may be while holding the hand of another, or looking lovingly at a child, or taking in the beauty of an evening. Love has no past or future, and so it is with this extraordinary state of silence."
- Jiddu Krishnamurti

The beach at sunset

We sat down together on the sea wall, you and I.
Birds flew, boats sailed, homeward, purposefully,
as an orange-red blush emblazoned all the sky,
and the sun’s gold disk slipped into the sea.
We sat down, separate, as a me and you,
and watched beach revellers packing up their day,
dogs walking their people, joggers pounding through,
together, watching, with nothing much to say.

Yet as the glorious sunset blush took hold,
and the sky and sea were tinted in turquoise,
the sense of I, you, them and that dissolved,
replaced by one, in perfect equipoise.

Then I and you returned, and all that’s left is this
memory, yearning and an aftertaste of bliss.

"Only God can worship God."
- Hareesh

While I credit Hareesh with saying this because I heard it first from him, it is a teaching of Non-dual Shaiva Ta**ra.

FRIDAY FUNDAY

"What are you throwing away?"
"Oh just some old ideas and beliefs that were taking up too much space."

Things going into the bin are "ugly", "too short", "failure", "Over-emotional."
