Convocations

 Convocations

Lessons and teachings remain the same,
what we absorb and how, makes all the difference. Starting from the scratch, all that is learnt is rewarded. Musical symphony blends with the heartbeat. Colourful springs create the vibes.

Meditations
Thoughts appear in crisscrossed patterns. Looking up, the temple gate is half closed.
Taking the steps never taken before,
realisation dawns, the steps that bring you where you are, also takes you where you want to go. Inhaling, exhaling, on a journey, standing there, with pauses in between, an observer observes one's own life.

Lamentations
Lamenting over the losses, feeling all the pain, anxiety rules. Heart beats faster, hitting the rock bottom in the deepest core, oil in the lamp keeps burning, flame flickers many a times. Amidst fear of unknown , butterflies in the stomach, it seems all dark, a familiar voice becomes the guide.

Revelations
A hand invisible to hold, it's always there.
You know there is nothing to fear.
When the feeling of being lost overpowers,
words of wisdom you hear.
By God's grace, the truth of being, reveals itself, in its own space and time.

Celebrations
It's time to celebrate. Why not? Understanding the value of life, and value of each breath, we keep moving.
Springing back to life, let's celebrate. Being alive in itself is enough reason for celebration.

Incantations
Offering gratitude, praying for the world, temple bells ring, we come back to our senses, walking with acceptance, being on the path, mapping our journey back home, with trust and love.
