battling

Posted on by

to preseve the last strands of his sanity in a world which seems equally, if not more insane,

the dharmabum takes solace by drowning himself in his work,

but remembers to thank all of you kind folks for your kind comments and enquiries.

missing u. love u all.

in the meanwhile, here something beautiful and profound for you all to ponder over –

But let there be spaces in your togetherness and let the winds of the heavens dance between you. Love one another but make not a bond of love: let it rather be a moving sea between the
shores of your souls.

– Kahlil Gibran

  1. Hi dharma,I am going through a low phase myself emotionally and so was not not in a mood to write a word, which includes not commenting in ur previous posts too (though i make it a point to read it diligently).My greatest solace during such times is going through the 100-odd quotes in my father’s diary and reading good books.One such example of an unforgettable book is Andrew Harvey’s “One last mirror”, have you read it? if not, please do, otherwise you are missing something profound and vital.It is a tale that explores the strange and hauntingly deep relationship between a 70 yr old woman (living a life wrought with guilt and regrets) and a 25 yr old man bound in Buddist philosophy. The young man comes along and gives this woman the courage to confront her deepest fears and once again look into her life’s mirror, probably for the last time. Do read it to to know more and to bask in its strange comfort and wisdom.Take care.

  7. The world is insane, but lovable all the same. High expectations, but indulgence of those who fall short (for we ourselves do too), help us to get through it. Drowning yourself in work worries me, though, are you all right, dear? A lovely quotation, thank you for it.

  20. Pity no one said to Alvira, “And talk to us of Loneliness, of the desert that lives in hearts, and is known by all, yet undiscovered” U take care, and come back soon. PS: this is irrelevant, but someone sent me a marraige invite this morning, and i sent back a reco. to read this poem before getting married. Its a world full of coincidences.

  26. ASH,back na!ANONYMOUS,its obvious u have chosen to be anonymous and so i wil refrain from bringin that up. ur comment though is curious – like they say, each one for his own or some such thing.my problem is the concept of a ‘select few’ – it limits us, and somewhere, there is the quest for the limitless.happy suffocation to u :)HWDK,yes, ful of coincidences. but it isn’t strange – thoughts are powerful, and i do believe they can travel a thousand miles. thanks!hITCHHIKER,oh so nice of u. thank you, my dear friend!SANKECHITA,hey thanks for sharing. wil look forward to reading it soon :)TRINNIE,nothing? how about the weather then? or chowpatti? 🙂
