A leaf called autumn floated gently to my side and said,
"it is me that was on the tree, as i was a sapling in its first shoot. It was me that you had rejoiced to see. now i am big and mighty and yet i am just one of me. of all that you call the shade, it is but me. i float in the gentle breeze, and know that it is the tree from where i come. and yet, the tree is me".
A breeze called zephyr lifted the leaf, and whispered gently in my ears. It said,
"I am the breeze that gives you life and the breath that you breathe. though i also am the shepherd of the clouds, i also blow in every means. i your breath and i also come as the storms and the raging seas. i am your breath and your brother and you shall always find me by your side".
A light called sunray kissed my eyes and the moon came up to me. When I could see, it was the star and the great beyond and they beckoned me. They said,
"to you we speak and and you have known - how we seek and we care. of the life and of joy, we also are the searing heat. of you we are and you of us. come back,brother - the universe awaits your return".
And then there are those wonderous silences and my petty wishes on earth. So while I write to humour and flavour my stay on earth, they and i know that what they say is true...
That is me.

“In the story of the two quarelling cats and the monkey, no one asks the cake about its opinion. Then I would prefer to be the monkey and we would have an end-of-ideology and politics beginning right here.”
“Do people ever wonder about why it has been said that the mice shall play when the cat is away?”
“Modernity is not divorced from spiritualism, though it is from the charlatan. The ascetic (renunciate) owns nothing - not even his or her ego - in the spiritual realm. The charlatan seeks to own everything.”
“The best thing about being married and marriage is: when the two of you never feel that you are married or ever shall or ever were. You simply love one another.”
“Two wrongs never make a right. But that never means that you can continue with your wrongs.”
“If silence were your only friend, know that the universe understands you. If solitude is your only company, know that loneliness has left you. Should fame and wealth find you -know that it is much better than your finding them. For you shall still have silence as your best friend.”
