water!

Ice blocks,
Ice cubes,
Ice in all shapes and colours
floated on the water
water spread wide and deep
The block mocked at the mall cube
The big cube the small one
Each thought its superior,better and powerful
Twater gently kept flowing,
It seemed to say
will u b with out me!

mahanubhava!

Anuja opened her eyes for a new day.Her mind was relishing a phrase that she had heard the previous day," acceptance reduces distance" She loved it.As she started her day she enjoyed the day break.What glory did she enjoy! she had no words to describe,She knew the day promised something good.Thats her habit.She would always gauage the day with her morning.She was proved right.Her daughter came in to leave her babe before leaving for her work.Her thought pleased her.She said," He came late and he is sleeping so I brought him.Yes,way to think.what are we if we donot put other's interest in the fore.She prayed that she continue this thoughtfulness. The routine continued.It was time to feed the babe.
She took the babe on her lap and started feeding ,the babe seemed to know the new taste and the look spoke he liked it. As she was feeding she was watching a programme on the TV.A scholar was speaking on a weighty subject of knowing the ways of fruitful living. If she got engrossed watching the babe would look at her with aunique look of showing the way.The expression was indescribable but was sure carried the meaning.She was reminded of Krishna showing the universe to Yashoda in his mouth!

She was pensive,musing over her work with appreciation,the babe turned to her with a broad,unique smile that made the light move with in.
She understood,the babe's sleep is his choice and none need to force and take credit for it.The smile added new energy and joy.Everything appeared drenched in joy.

A thin glow was softly touching every inch of earth and sky changing the divine truth into mundane light of the day.Meena's mind went to the times of her grandson's bath time.She would sit on the woodenplank her husband would bring him for the bath.the babe would show such joy as though he is brought to the paradise.when she stretches her hand to receive him he would give the smile that one cannot find on this earth.The smile matched the glow that heralded the sun by drenching the earth.Her heart filled and joy spilled.
