We have to keep our dreams alive for if we allow them to die we will never attain our purpose in life.

77th Anniversary of V-E Day

This weekend marks the 77th anniversary of “V-E Day,” the official declaration of Victory in Europe as the Second World War neared its end. 

While I’ve read descriptions of the euphoric celebrations, I think that some of the images from the day capture the story best.

Wholeness

Kaushal Kishore

People easily get dejected,
broken, shattered
when not loved,
not understood
knowingly or unknowingly
by someone who matters
or even by those
who don’t matter,
but should it matter
and that much really?

Don’t ever try to find
any reason,
reasons abound
reasonable or not
just send them on a furlough…

There is always something
to be thankful for
a possibility in remission
drifting away in the oblivion
for sometime
but taking control of yourself
enjoying songs and tunes
of your liking
that may or may not be
understood by others,
but those notes in solitude
will help clear
the fogged wheels of mind
and lubricate
the strings of your heart
to play ultimately in resonance
with your wholeness…

P.S.Wholeness doesn’t mean perfection, it means embracing brokenness as an integral part of life.- Parker J. Palmer
