the magic of life.

Puducherry, Magnetic Moon 2008

No, I did not hesitate to enter this humble place I call home now.

"Thirty spokes will converge
In the hub of a wheel;
But the use of the cart
Will depend on the part
Of the hub that is void.

With a wall all around
A clay bowl is molded;
But the use of the bowl
Will depend on the part
Of the bowl that is void.

Cut out windows and doors
In the house as you build;
But the use of the house
Will depend on the space
In the walls that is void.

So advantage is had
From whatever is there;
But usefulness rises
From whatever is not. "

Of Radio, the Tao and Lotus Country..

Toronto, Cosmic Moon 5
Phew! Its been a long time I transcribed the frenzied neural activity going on. YYEEEEAH! I can't seem to capture the impressions while plugged into FM Radio.. what I love about Radio is the randomness of a familiar song. I just heard "Tears in Heaven" :-) but when these commercials come in.. and whatt?? here is a kid's voice.. oh no! do I have to listen to marketplace suggestions from tender voices of innocence? :-(

I am excited about returning to Lotus country again.. I am kinda feeling like Simba in The Lion King.. in the part when Rafiki says.. "the King, has returned!"



"When a man is living, he is soft and supple.
When he is dead, he becomes hard and rigid.
When a plant is living, it is soft and tender.
When it is dead, it becomes withered and dry.
Hence, the hard and rigid belongs to the company of the dead,
the soft and supple belongs to the company of the living.
Therefore, a mighty army tends to fall by its own weight,
Just as dry wood is ready for the axe.
The mighty and great will be laid low;
The humble and weak will be exalted."
~ Tao Te Ching
