This groping for light,
this striving, struggling to find
the roots of Love divine,
this yearning to merge with the One,
this route that leads onward and seaward,
with the gorge of the sea and the soft murmur of the river that leads,
sail onward O Prince,
unhampered by the lure of Forms,
the very forms of Self-expression,
beautiful, but arresting all the same!
The Beauty is of the Way.
She is your consort of the realm,
your gentle reminder
with just a veil
that separates you from the goal,
just for a moment before all is well.
For her sake, suffer all that is needed to be suffered.
It is only a matter of Time;
inwardly her presence is felt,
outwardly not expressed;
only a matter of time
before the manifestation of essence;
a prince born to a crown ,
submit to the discipline of the sovereign will.

The Crown and the Beauty are both yours.

Does it hurt to think and dream, a world where nothing is a sin, where nothing begs for forgiveness, where I create myself and immediately dissolve before time, the hunter tracks me down and nails me, puts me down under a selective square of a parody of what I made of me. an abstruse symbol, a watery grave where everything flows , nothing is held. And in the very moment of saying this I know, how I yearn to create a body, a body that I could call You, a body, a You that will give me a name, a name that will never be erased Shared privately • View activity The Cloberth +1 Food for thought.

Horse Sacrifice : Significance Tighe, Sushama, Sheikha

  The universal significance of horse-sacrifice: 'ashwamedha' in Vedas: "We mortals who owe our Self to Time are performing a sacrifice ceaselessly. The Dawn (Usha) is the head of the sacrificial horse ; the Sun his eye, the wind his breath; his open   mouth the universal Fire (Agni), and Time, measured by our human parameter as year is the body of the sacrificial horse; the sky his back, the atmosphere his belly, the four quarters his ribs, the seasons his limbs, the half months and months his joints, days and nights his feet, the stars his bones, the clouds his flesh."

  . I was like a sleeping sea. You woke me up and the storm blew through. I shake my waves, I sink my ships; I climb to the sky and punish stars... I'm ashamed and hide between my folds, I go crazy and kill my fish. Don't look at me with fear... You wanted it... Alfonsina Storni
