I saw people crying at Birgunj Custom Office today. People are so assimilated and dependent on India's shopping that this is definitely a harsh move. The idea is to control leakage of revenue but common people are struggling.
You will find other family members helping and arranging each and every basic ingredients required for Kharna (today), Sandhya Arghya (tommorrow) and Bhore Arghya ( day after tommorrow).
Midnight at Aarya Ghat hits so different. People are so sure of deaths that the funeral logs for next day have been prepared for every funeral spots. I wish life was this certain.
i’m a confluence
where mind & matter meet
my essence is love
consciousness bears its imprint
rising higher bearing divine fire
whirling to the cosmic beat
i’m an embodiment of love
rekindling ashes of defeat
love always flows in its manifold forms
nectar of existence, sweet
nothing on television
that's nothing unusual
so I'm living vicariously
through my friends' posts on twitter
one minute I'm driven
by conspiracy theory
living in high drama
and it's all about me
or my cat
one minute I'm living the high life
before returning
to abject poverty
climbing a broken ladder
missing rungs midway
taking another step
knowing winter’s grasp
cannot choke the call of spring
a dawn like no other rising
samsara stirring to light
singing nembutsu
good news in the air
the pure land is here & now
whenever we call upon you
#FaithMap001
for those
who sought support
only to cut me down
I withhold complaint
exert restraint
on emotions turbulent
shed bitterness
like autumn leaves
for those
who seek shelter
I can grow again
to sprout a verdant crown
you can’t keep me down
I remain
in all seasons of life
Your Southern Nepal friends/colleagues haven't returned to work/colleges/schools situated in Non-Southern Nepal after Tihar vacation. It's preparation of Chhath going on.
