It Never Ends

She's gone
And I am left alone
What will I do
What must, should I do
So soon it seemed our time together
Ended in a few shared hours
How I wish there was a permission I had
To hibernate like a winter lizard
And no unsettling wait
Like dead
For your return
Oh Summer.

You completed me
And yet the true me
Tried - failed
to convince you
That together we are complete
And incomplete we will be
For how long hence.

It never ends
And one day
You will weigh
My being me
Your being you
Over what I am not
And return you will
Oh bright summer.

And how
Will I have
To without you live
In the fog you think
Cannot be dispelled.

Everything is glaucous
All enshrouded
Take me oh life and obliterate me
From myself
Until the thaw melts.

The Dream

Fog all over around, a lost elated me
Saw her there
A dark figure all faded behind the veil Beckonig me to come
And the more I walked
The further away she drifted
Enshrouding me into even more
Denser darker haze light in which
I could not see but sense
That she was you
And I caught between despair
As you vanished and hope as you
Appeared drifting into loneliness
Of a people less world of
Pre dawn and post dusk
Why dont you wait I try to say
But words lost voice and I
Wondered why it had happened
To separate into two souls the one
That we were till you left on the journey
Beyond life leaving me behind alone sad
Crying,  sobs escaping uncontrolled
Till I reached the shore of
Blue water spreading all across
Beneath the low dark clouds
There beside the grey sand
She stopped and with back turned to me
And I tried to run and had almost
Reached you when I fell
My legs entangled paralyzed
I in my mind kept repeating
My love please help me
Take me I am incomplete

The Lie by Helen Dunmore: Book Review

                                     

 

After fighting the First World War in France, Daniel Branwell returns to his home in Cornwall only to learn that his mother was dead and that he has no home. Mary Pascoe, an elderly woman, allows Daniel to build a shelter on her land but then she falls ill.

Haunted by the torments of war in which his only friend Frederick lost his life, Daniel is caught between the loss of a friend and a lie.

Helen Dunmore has been simply brilliant in this masterpiece as she weaves a silent chill around Frederick' sister, shadows of dead people, Daniel’s past life and a lie.

The book is a must read, we give it 9 in a scale of 10.

Spiritality part I

1. Al-Ghazali, the great medieval philosopher had come up with this idea of how a pin is made. He said that it required 25 people to produce a pin and that these people collaborate without the presence of a person who connects them as a central factor. He said that these 25 people are not connected or known to each other and are connected and guided by an invisible hand. This metaphor was later wrongly attributed to Adam Smith.
2. Perhaps like we ascribe mass to matter so should we ascribe consciousness to matter too. Consciousness is as much a property of matter as mass is, the former defining its life form as much as the  latter defines its physical aspect.
3. Further, as everything has consciousness about it, a composite form of matter must have a composite consciousness too. A man's consciousness, for example, must be a collective consciousness of all the material that he is made of. So for an animal, a plant, a compound, an element.
4. That invisible hand perhaps is the composite consciousness of all the things forming a part of a single big system. All the things collectively form a system having a collective system consciousness. which must be our super-conscious, which probably makes things possible for the system to sustain itself as its individual parts break or die and new come along.
5. A few persons together too must form a composite consciousness and if they are sitting in a room then the composite consciousness must be a sum total of individual consciousnesses of the people + that of room + that of each and everything in the room. One can say that the system must comprise the people, room and everything in that room and so we have the collective composite consciousness of the system as a whole.
6. God is perhaps that composite consciousness of all things. 
7. All visible things to humans form part of a big food chain.
8. All visible things to human, therefore, need each other to survive.
9. If we survive, the composite consciousness of all things, the God, survives too. It therefore needs us to survive.
10. It is evolving.
