Wordless Wednesday #89

With no rains, the grass is parched, dry and yellow. Felt as if driving through a desert!

Just as the water is necessary to quench our thirst and give color to our universe.

Thoughts play the same role in our mind. They can either make us jump with joy or quiver in terror for no rhyme or reason.

Mantra for today: Earth, one planet but educates us in so many ways!

When the Friends of the Pink Triangle met, they embraced their harsh past while rejoicing over the present.

The fact that their love has been legalized made them wear the pink triangle with pride! Thus, calling it a moment of man's progress since the 1930's.

Mantra for today: Embracing one and all leads to the development of man, which results in the growth of a nation.

The seeds in the bird feeder are being nibbled by the mighty squirrel while the birds choose to eat the few besprent on the ground.

Call it the pecking order by the size. But peace prevails, and they eat in harmony!

Such a power structure occurs in thy man thus leading to hierarchy. Sometimes, it is considered good since work can be executed promptly but mostly it is looked down upon!


Mantra for today: Usually Ego and Hierarchy walk hand in hand thus, making it look evil most times. 



P.S. Wordless Wednesday will be back on 24th June

Wordless Wednesday #85

Our body is a reflection of our thoughts
Our thoughts in turn nurture our soul.
Our soul is the window of how we tackle our present and future.

Fortunately, this flower blooming in my backyard says all the above!
Time to reflect on us!

Mantra for today: One Life, One Body, One Mind. They all so distinct, yet connected!

Spring is in the Air.

Plants are blooming without any inhibitions of color, creed or dogma.

This wall is symmetrical and well proportioned.

Just as Man aspires to be in his "real" life. But, can we take upon this challenge?

Ponder over it: A perfect in harmony 9-5pm job with no red flags. No personal issues that need a fire extinguisher. Positive vibes everywhere!

Man is an intelligent being and loves challenges thus, we would find the above life BORING since no secretion of adrenaline as no excitement prevails!

Mantra for today: Hormones are the oxygen to our existence if used in proportion. Take upon the daily challenges, and let thy rule!

Wordless Wednesday #82

With Spring around the corner. Flowers are blooming, and this picture signifies the beauty of nature and the many boundaries this flower possesses via the petals to protect the core.

Gives us a take home lesson while relating the boundaries to the many phases of our lives. Each step is related to Time.

Mantra for today: Life has many phases. We have to be patient in each one of them since; it is not constant.

Wordless Wednesday #81

Fostering, Nurturing, Breeding!

All such common nouns, but very difficult to do with a being that is powerful and mighty.

Needs courage to even face such an animate thing and then think of taming it!

Mantra for today: Courage allows us to take risks, and tickle the braveness within each of us.

------

Wordless Wednesday #80

Abandoned!
Companionless!

Yet, projecting peace and neutrality to the viewer.

Can we showcase such nouns when left behind?

Wordless Wednesday #78

A mere pin can keep a patio umbrella open while supporting its ribs, and outer shell thus, providing shade to anyone sitting under it.

That affix is the life support of this umbrella.

Ever wonder what keeps our skeleton and mind together on a daily basis? Is it our determination, our tenacity or the willpower to take that extra step towards nirvana!


Mantra for today:  One body, one mind, but numerous thoughts to make us drift away from our goal.

Wordless Wednesday #77

When beckoned, how many of us would walk/sit in darkness?

There are some who are scared of the dark thus, won't bother.

There are a few who would argue that nothing would be visible so why go through the inconvenience!

But, actually being seated in the dark allows an individual to peep into his/her consciousness? When nothing is visible, we tend to become aware of our thoughts, surroundings, and own existence.

Bliss!


Mantra for today: A dark room usually helps unfold some wrinkles within.

Wordless Wednesday #76

What is the significance of an abandoned home? 

None!

The above is a relinquished bee hive that the bees vacated. Thus, of no importance anymore.

The same could be applied to our body that is our home, but once our soul decides to vacate it. 

It's of no use, thus either buried or burnt.

Mantra for today: When the Body is a Temporary Home, why obsess over it. Just keep it nourished with Good Food and Good Mantras.

Mantra for today: Gratitude for the air we breathe, and the liberty to choose what the heart desires!

Wordless Wednesday #71

The above picture reminds me of, "Fifty Shades of Grey."

Nah, not that movie!

The different dimensions of life that we encounter on a daily basis.

We could define it as challenges, disputes, dares that lead to a forced ultimatum during the day. But, we survive the day and go on to see the sunrise next morning.
Phew!

The various shades of clouds in the above picture reminded me of those dares, and how we overcome it by dusk.

Speaks volumes about us!

Mantra for today: Man is strong, man is firm to be able to see the sunrise and sunset!

Wordless Wednesday #70

This appetizing plate made my bile juices secrete in abundance. However, when I went to bite into it, all the layers came falling down.

Obviously! The human mouth can open only up to two inches. How could I possibly ingest it without pulling it apart?

This multi-layer burger allowed me to ponder over life and the many comforts it gives. But, ultimately, man just needs the necessities that could be translated as a mere burger patty, a slice of cheese; tomato; and onion. That could be deciphered as food, shelter, water, clothing.

Mantra for today: Abundance is enchanting, but ultimately the man can still survive with the necessities.

Wordless Wednesday #69

The above picture is a gutter being surrounded by pebbles so that the soil does not erode off.

This same analogy can be applied to our mind....We need to have it protected 24*7 by being aware of what we think so that our negative thoughts do not ruin our action.

Mantra for today: Safeguard your mind since that is the key to your karma bank.
