For many days it seems that Death too has felt the need to be away from this land.
Silence prevails but so death like. The punishment has been put away -for how long , no one knows-
Things have been quiet, life appears to be normal, and in such a state what has surfaced and become more visible is - emotions of love friendship sharing and learning;
Wars hinder all kinds of development activity in a society.Though someone said, must be Shakespeare that 'All is fair, in love and war' but not fair to shed blood take human lives spread fear and terror....
The silence that prevails is welcome to many. The other thing that is now of grave concern is the rising price of food and oil, as a result petrol is getting extra expensive and yet I see more and more cars on the road.
In our lane this year two cars have been added raising the total to a dozen. There are four houses and an average of two to three cars per house is the ratio.
There are two bikes and some kids cycles which are seen in the evening.It has become like a mini city....I noticed that the gates are heavy large and have to be bolted in the same difficult way, which causes a lot of loud squeaky noises. I have come to identify which sound belongs to which house in the lane.Only our gate has a flip latch and folding chocolate bars.I am glad we are different and can be easily identified.."well the chocolate bar gate is ours"
The silence at times creates a serenity which makes the soul still. But the latest in the silent category is the silence of electric load shedding. Everything becomes quiet when the lights go off. I have come to like this part of the day and night. It gives me time to think relax and make myself one with Nature.
I feel the depth of loneliness, the dark side of life when all will be nothing or maybe I will have the Light of Truth...what is the Light of Truth..if you move forward towards building a relationship with someone new there are many restrains.Social fears, fears of self disclosure apprehensions of hurt and unknown dangers of conflict inferiority complexes and so much more.We have built unseen walls around us, protecting unknown possessions and not allowing the purity of love and care , sharing and caring and helping each other.
well I am at peace for the moment I have tried to help someone, I hope it moves forward to achieve the best.I pray that my aim is fulfilled.
