You have danced a countless steps to the tunes of life,
You have chosen to see beyond the strife.
Dare a new morning dear one …
Move on, as the past is over and done.
Watch the sky as a sign from above
How relentlessly and hopefully it brings forth the now.
How it regales us with a myriad hues,
What a divine brush painting those magical views.
Take cues from it as it carries on …
Constantly changing in every moment.
Across the horizon rests a whole new world.
Awaiting your arrival with joy to behold.
It seeks nothing from you, neither your past glories
Nor bothers about your many untold stories.
It asks you to simply move on from any past torment
As you step into this new moment.
Sail on dear one, with a heart filled with wonder
A new shore awaits, just across the yonder !
This is one of my photo inspired poem, the picture above denotes the let go as you move on, for to cling to the past scenarios simply delays the visibility of the the new views in the offing … Trust all that you are and sail on! ‘
A mind-boggling perspective on Advocacy came my way !! 🙂
College Student Group asked a lawyer
*So what does ‘advocacy’ mean?”*
Lawyer said:
*I will present an example for this!*
*Suppose two people come to me, one is very clean and the other is very dirty. I advise both of them to get clean and take bath.*
*Now you guys tell me, who among them will take a shower ?? “*
One student said: *”The one who is dirty will take a shower.”*
The lawyer said:
*No, but the clean person will do it, because he has the habit of bathing, while the dirty does not know the importance of cleaning*
*Lawyer :: Now tell who will take a shower ?? “*
The second student said: *Clean person*
The lawyer said:
*No, but the dirty person will take a bath because he is the one who needs cleaning.*
*Now tell who will take a shower ?? “*
Two students said: *”The one who is dirty will take a shower.”*
The lawyer said:
*”No, but both will take a bath because the clean person has a habit of bathing, while the dirty one needs a bath.*
*Now tell who will take a shower ?? “*
Now three students speak together: *”Both of them will take a shower.”*
The lawyer said:
*”Wrong, no one will take a bath, because dirty is not used to bathing, whereas clean one does not need to bathe*
*Now tell who will take a shower ?? “*
A student politely said:
*”You give a different answer every time and every answer seems to be correct. How do we know the correct answer ???”*
Lawyer said:
*This is just ‘advocacy’! It is not important what the reality is*
*The important thing is, how many possible arguments can you offer to prove your point.* “😂
Sharing the poignant yet profound wisdom of these words…
*Autumn Leaf*
I asked the leaf if it was frightened because it was autumn and the other leaves were falling.
The leaf answered, “No. During the whole spring and summer I was completely alive. I worked hard to help nourish the tree, and now much of me is in the tree.
I am not limited by this form. I am also the whole tree, and when I go back to the soil, I will continue to nourish the tree. So I don’t worry at all.
As I leave this branch and float to the ground, I will wave to the tree and tell her, ‘I will see you again very soon’.”
That day a wind came blowing, and a while later, I saw the leaf leave the branch and float down to the soil, dancing joyfully, because as it floated it saw itself already there in the tree.
It was so happy. I bowed my head, knowing that I have a lot to learn from the leaf.

Autumn at The Old Plantation
Sharnagati
Why do some lives go through
Soul stirring moments of awakenings
And some soul numbing pain?
Why do some lives, dominate the weak
And some are broken and shattered in despair beyond repair.
Why do some lives live to experience
luxurious lifestyles.
And some are born to slavery or traded
Why do some lives matter more?
Why lives lived are discriminated for its diversity of nature and differently treated?
Why day and night stops making sense for some.
We truly have no answers
But what we do now is the truth of this moment changes in the next!
That is solace enough to weather the storms.
For life is transitory and everything changes
For nothing stays the same.
This too shall pass.
