It is a hot merciless summer noon, glowing sun expel heat and bright
Dusty country roads with no signs, crossing and making a junction
Grand old Fichus tree, giving shade for the lives Chirping birds, searching shelter under the leaves
Chipmunks, climbing up, looking for vacant -nest holes
An old lady, waddle to the shadow of the Fichus tree.
Sweating and mumbling harshly, she felt a place to sit
She lied down, on the wooden deck, built around the tree
A sage was sitting, leaning to the tree, half sleep
Lady, babble her complaints and demands, unconsciously
“They are my kids….they should obey me… as I say.. no gratitude!
I raised them as well as their children.. they are obligated “
She was fainting, slurred talk softened, dissolved in the hot air
Sage sprinkle some water on her face and let her drink some
Slowly she came back to conscious. Started the rain of talk.
“Where is the vulture and the dead prey?
Where are the frightened birds flew up from the tree?
“Be silent..Listen to your inner voice”. Sage whispered like a breeze
“Those birds are your thoughts, you are bringing them into your head.
You are keeping that arragont, wild vulture in your mind
“You made a vulture-nest, with hatred, possessiveness, fear and greed.
Silent yourself, silent your thoughts, throw out the vulture nest
Then there will be space in your heart for love, care and understanding
Raising, kids and grand kids are a privilege, nobody owes nothing to you
They have to grow-up and raise theirs. Open your eyes and enjoy their growth
Then, they will listen to you, care about you and love you with gratitude.
Clean your mind. Avoid complaints and ambitions, see positively
Keep silence to hear your inner voice. Keep your heart spacious for them”.
She was keenly listening the sage, looking at his graceful face
She felt airiness. Another breeze raised her up
She was crying with joy, feeling the enlightenment...
Thanks…Bliss of Silence…for Spacious Heart and Positive Mind.
I will make a good relationship with myself…
I will listen to me in silence. I will silently talk to me everyday.
Thanks and welcome “Silence”.
