Oh Wise One ~

This is profoundly 'write-on' ~ I adore it when you write your thoughts prolifically - prose or poetry, anyway in which you write - it simply makes me stop to think, ponder, reflect and yes, roll on with the inspiration you gift to us all.  I'm simply moved by your post here and the ones before.  I'm enjoying your metamorphisis ~  Aba,

 Ely

...and, if one likes, sometimes if you take a step, another will come and meet you on the journey and keep you company until you reach the destination..."take one step towards me and i will take ten towards you" - shirdi sai baba ... moon

So true - it's the journey that counts and each step (or 10) enlightens the next!

What I attempted to say was that culmination is a fall-out, secondary, only to a beginning; not so important therefore. The journey of life ends in death, but it is the birth that is celebrated. I'll be honored Sam if you could suggest something. Thank you always for all your attention to details.

I think it complements her poem very well abanerjee...The first step...like the steps of a toddler sometimes you fall and then you pick yourself up and just carry on.

All the beauty of a safar(travelling along the road) is lost if the pleasure is thought to be got only at reaching the destinaton, then all that is along the road is missed; it is not to be found then at the destination, too. Tab aadmi yahi sochta hai ab manzil par phuinch kar kya hoga. Bahut khoob!

Two roads forked from the woods, one, a thoroughfare, and the other, junglish. ... i took the one less traveled by, look where I am (today). That's the story of strength you tell, ma'am.

Wah! Kya baat hai............safar mein hoon rehne do, ab manzil par phuinch kar kya hoga,tapak rahein hain intezar ke lamhe shabnam ban kar katra katra ,aaj barsat mein bhegh kar kya hoga...........!

You just wrote my life in a few words
I've always stepped out, opened new doors when one closes, taken a deep breath and moved on, packed my bag when I have had to......and in the end I found the greatest joy I could imagine....
