Impossible Love? Hah

For the warrior, there is no such thing as impossible love. He is not intimidated by silence, indifference, or rejection. He knows that behind the mask of ice that people wear, there beats a heart of fire.

This is why the warrior takes more risks than other people. He is constantly seeking the love of someone, even if that means often having to hear the word "no", returning home defeated and feeling rejected in the body and soul.

A warrior never gives in to fear when he is searching for what he needs. Without love, he is nothing.

-Paulo Coelho

How fucking appropriate, and how nicely summarized. This is exactly the reason for me being the way I am- warriors fight until they die- and of course, my lineage is one of warriors.

Devdas

Devdas is the most amazing love story ever. I love how this movie was directed, the old world style dances- the messages in the songs, the symbolism- so clever, so beautiful

Best. Scene. Ever

They both die in the end- they cannot live without one another. Amazing symbolism with the lamp dying as he dies.

Even if you break away from me

My beloved! Even if YOU break the relationship of love between us, I will not do the same, for, who else will I relate my love to, If I break the my relationship with you?


If you are a grand tree, then I am a bird sitting and taking shelter on that tree. If you are a lake I am a fish that swims in it.


If you are a mountain, I am a stream flowing in and through it. If you are the moon, then I am the Chakora Bird.
[The Chakora bird Is known to forget everything and magnetized by the moon- it stares at the full moon continuously]

If you are a pearl bead, I am the thread that weaves through the bead. My Krishna, please reside in my heart- I am your servant.

He's my only love

For me, my only love is Krishna, and nobody else

The One with the peacock feather on his head, He is my husband

By sprinkling tears from my eyes, I sowed the creeper of love

Now that creeper has grown, and has turned into the fruit of happiness

Father, mother, brother, relatives, I have none...

I'm in love with the Lord, it had to happen, and so it has...

Lovely day

What a lovely day. He came by, finally. He looks scrawny and pale- his dark, thick hair, hanging over his brown eyes. His beautiful lips curl into a smile when he looks at me. "Hello, and sorry" I muster enough courage to utter under my breath. I was running late and he was waiting patiently on the stairs for me.

We work, we talk, we hug, we eat, we cuddle, we make love. Just what I was asking for- just what I had prayed to Krishna for. Relieved, and once again, filled with assurance that Krishna fulfills my wish, I sleep well. I breathe easy- for the first time in weeks. For once, I smile, without bursting into tears the next minute. No more tears. Only joy and love. 

I let go of all the worrying. I let happiness rush into my life.

Angels do exist

Being human can be so hurtful- the experiences are beautiful, yet elusive and transient. Only a few of us here know how to really control our destiny and feelings. Some of us radiate copious amounts of warmth, only to receive bitterness and coldness in return. There are angels in this world- look around you. I'm sure you know some. Angels are beautiful creatures who are equally beautiful in their minds and do not know how to hurt others. They have a special connection to god. They heal those they touch, without even realizing it. They do not know how to refuse a sincere cry for help. They are selfless to the point of being self-sacrifical. They do not belong on the earth- they descended from heaven- that is, ultimately, their home. People who kill angels or wound them are never forgiven by god.
My questions to god when I reach heaven will be the following-
If you really loved them so much, why did you have to send these angels to the earth to suffer? Why do you put thorns in the path of those you love?
