Sitting here at 1 AM and instead of going to sleep (need to get up early) am musing about time; time as defined by us humans – linear, forward flowing, unmalleable. While I may not agree with this concept of time on philosophical grounds, it is what our lives are bound by on day to day basis. […]
She Walks in Beauty
She walks in beauty, like the night Of cloudless climes and starry skies; And all that’s best of dark and bright Meet in her aspect and her eyes; Thus mellowed to that tender light Which heaven to gaudy day denies. One shade the more, one ray the less, Had half impaired the nameless grace Which […]
For ever and a day
I love building in the sand. I do not remember when I started doing that. I think it was some time ago. I started on my own and then had friends join me. The very first thing I ever built was a square box right by the water. As I was looking at it, a […]
Looking for your face
From the beginning of my life I have been looking for your face but today I have seen it Today I have seen the charm, the beauty, and the unfathomable grace of the face that I have been looking for Today I have found you and those who laughed and scorned me yesterday are sorry […]
Do You Love Me?
A lover asked his beloved, Do you love yourself more than you love me? The beloved replied, I have died to myself and I live for you. I’ve disappeared from myself and my attributes. I am present only for you. I have forgotten all my learning, but from knowing you I have become a scholar. […]
Nothing Lasts Forever

Sonnet XVII
I do not love you as if you were salt-rose, or topaz, or the arrow of carnations the fire shoots off. I love you as certain dark things are to be loved, in secret, between the shadow and the soul. I love you as the plant that never blooms but carries in itself the light […]

On What’s So
Got this article from – http://www.coachruben.com/on-whats-so/ What’s so is always just what’s so. What’s so doesn’t care what you think, feel, intend or wish; it will not bend. You can be freaked out or driven over what’s so, and it won’t change what’s so. If you’re late for an appointment, getting freaked out about it […]
Things left unsaid…
The pain exists in the things unsaid, in those pregnant moments when you desire so hard to say something to someone that is “uncomfortable”, yet do not, because… We go through our lives waiting, hoping, desiring to express ourselves, to scream outloud what we feel, to show who we really are to those who matter […]
The Man In The Arena
Excerpt from the speech “Citizenship In A Republic” delivered at the Sorbonne, in Paris, France on 23 April, 1910 It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who […]
