Circular Lessons of Life The circular path of life lessons, Comes in a variety of shades.  Some alone, others in combination A doorway to heaven or to the kingdom of Hades One keeps running into similar episodes Till the learning is absorbed within The lesson comes to us in multiple modes There seems to be no escaping it In case one has had the audacity to forget  Life will come up with a revision of sort A new and longer lasting lesson is all set For one to repeat and on retest, not come up short All that life asks us to do is to learn well When a similar situation turns up later on Find a new way to be and break the spell Of past mistakes & choose a different path to move on The heaven and hell is experienced here and now One feels both as they go about their life on earth Trying to learn what we must, and overcome  somehow Our discrepancies theses lessons attempt to unearth

Celebrate Life Each Moment     Picture Courtesy: Siddhartha Chaturvedi When intense black and brilliant white collide… …Colors are born When stern silence is broken by sweet sound… …Music is born When a sliver of sunshine peeps out from murky clouds...  ...Light is born When bountiful rain hits the parched earth… …Life is born.  When brilliant light dispels the dismal darkness… …Hope is born When empowering hope clears out the debilitating doubt… …Courage is born When electrifying energy hits at restful rest… …Motion is born When magical motion activates the somber stillness… …Life is born When the crying of a baby brings out the tears in the parents’ eyes... ...Joy is born When stubborn effort overcomes obstinate obstacles… …Achievement is born When simplicity presents itself in a new form… …Amazement is born When pure positivity turns down the power of nefarious negativity… …Life is born

If there was no darkness, what use would be for light? What good would a day do if there was no night? How would one know happiness when no one gets sad?  What value does good hold if there is no bad? How would hope cheer up a soul when it hasn't felt any despair? Can one really feel alive if there was no death to fear? How can one taste success when she never took a bite of failure?  Will the freedom be as dear to us if there was no censure?  If there was no boredom then what use would there be for fun?  Would the chance be as sweet if no one ever had to wait for their turn?  The negatives are nothing but an outline to our positives.  Together they balance each other out to enrich our lives! 

The thoughts keep roaming in and around the labyrinth, The ideas fighting with each other for their birth. Squirming, wriggling, slipping over each other With only one winning their top spot over another But the boundaries are firmly set by the walls of labyrinth Expansion of these alone shall give a strong plinth To all the thoughts within to develop further Expand these through learning about experiences of others Reading, listening and observing are those ways That shall enrich our labyrinth for the rest of the days As we roam the world through the others' eyes We gain terrific insights and become very wise
