Himalayan Foothills Sunrise VIII, Kunjapuri Devi Temple, Rishikesh, Uttarakhand, India

Steps ~ Pic and a Word Challenge #165

Sometimes the light
     Seems very far
And the way
     So dark and perilous
And the path
     Occluded mystery

I remind myself
     Just take a step
I remember
     Where every journey begins
I find my courage
     In the many paths already taken

I’ve held the light
     before
I’ve made my way
     before
I’ve found the path
     before

I will hold the light
again

Simplest Lines

I love to find
The simplest lines
In the complexity
Of nature

Though so reduced
In form I find
Her beauty
Undiminished

Pretty String, Rishikesh, Uttarakhand, India

Pretty Things

A little bit of string
Round and round
The weathered trunk
Such a pretty thing

I don’t know why it’s there
Not that I really care

It’s warm
There’s sun
That little bit of string
Is just the perfect thing

Live Feed, Parmarth Niketan Ashram, Rishikesh, Uttarakhand, India

Pics or it didn’t happen

Pics or it didn’t happen
But I was so busy

Photographing
Instagramming
Facebooking
Snapchatting
Wordpressing
Tweeting

It happened
But I wasn’t there

Beautiful Presence

I am never more beautiful
In countenance
In presence
In spirit

Than when my mind is quiet
Connected to all things
At peace with myself
And the moment, just as it is

Himalaya Foothills I, Rishikesh, Uttarakhand, India

Called

The road goes on ahead
Down, down, down
Into the smokey valley

But I would stay here
Above the floor
Above the fray

In the unfettered sun
Where the mountain breeze
Clears the air, so pure

If not for the call
And the necessity
For the work

Daybreak

Gently
I enter the day
Warming slowly
To the light
The birdsong
The clackety rumbling
Of footfalls and engines
Outside the window
As existence draws me back
Into being

Though, really
I could do with a few more hours
Of non-being

Little Buddha Selfie

The countenance of a buddha
The presence for a selfie
The presentation for an FB world

Ganges Current, Laxman Jhula Bridge, Rishikesh, Uttarakhand, India

Current ~ Pic and a Word Challenge #97

With
Against
Over
Bypass

All the ways I’ve learned
To make my way in life
Unconsciously, they become habit
Forgetting the current running through it all

I remind myself
Stand on the shore
Breathe in the quiet
Observe the current

Bell on Trayambakeshwar Temple, Overlooking Laxman Jhula and Ganges River, Rishikesh, Uttarakhand, India

Creativity ~ Pic and a Word Challenge #95

I love being in a place
Where creativity thrives
Where paint and passion
Offer more vibrance and colour
Than nature’s grandest sunsets
