When I run after what I think I want
My days are like a hot furnace
Of acute stress and anxiety
For days I am at my wits end
Have no power to think sensibly
But start to decay in my own edginess
If I sit in my own place of patience
Being one with myself in silence
Letting each breath cleanse my inner chaos
And knowing that life still colours
My gorgeous world with her vivacity
What I need flows beautifully in me
And without an inch of pain
I feel that spaciousness inside
From this I can well understand
That what I want also wants me
Is looking for me and attracting me
To come and be with Him
There is a great secret here
For anyone who can grasp it
Simply sway with the movement
There is magic in the unknown
this is beautiful 🙂

All going on Tanvir and at times this Virus has taken so many people by storm we have to keep positive and keep on engaging ourselves in some kind of activity. My grandson will be 2 years in two months time and he is a pleasure to have around when my daughter gets him though he is not talking yet and I too retired from HPCL last year. So now busy doing housework at home with no one to help but do everything on your own. Keep myself busy at least for sometime on WordPress. Nice to be reading posts that are so inspiring and then post say in five days. Much love and light to you dear. Love and hugs.
