May you live in harmony and peace.
May you listen and always watch
the signs of peace and discord,
kindness and enmity,'and everything that exists in a dichotomy.
Distinguish, but do not stay long
in any of these.
That bird is the wisest who chooses not,
but watches and flies, and never stops flying.
Wishing you blissful thoughts.

Sushama Karnik

One who masters the strings of the lute, masters the sound too. He can produce the sound as he wills. He carries it with him and wherever he is, the lute is; the sound is,
One who carries the sound in the heart, needs only to listen.
Not everyone can play upon the lute; not everyone can possess a lute to play.
But everyone can listen.

Sushama Karnik

an event to remember is sometimes one that hasn't yet happened and if we can hold onto good things that have yet to pass then maybe we can overlook the bad or see real wonderful ways of dealing with it, we can at least imagine them I think. thank you always you wonderful poet for adding a drop of pure gold to the mix. :))))+Sushama Karnik

THE WOOD"S END
A twilight share of clear vision
when the glare of the day is subdued,
the colors invisible by far yet
emerge, mellow, in the notes of a song.
One listens to the oceans, caverns, and woods
A peace of a different magnitude
reigns over the storms.
The robin alternates between joy and an urge
to reach beyond the ends of the woods.
There is a world beyond the woods
which the robin must find before it's dark.
At last, it is the soul who speaks to the ultimate reach of the spirit
to set free the voice that  remained
stuck to the walls of metaphysics
