Candid

 Ding dong goes down the year in history, Passage of a year into reminiscence swiftly, Zip zap comes up the new year, What waits ahead are loads of, new moments, new surprises and new hopes,  rising from the ocean of dreams. Unfiltered dreams, untouched by reality Yet riding on the waves with vigour, happiness and alchemy.

  At the horizon reality and illusion meet and disappear, they coexists in their peripheral existence yet strangers bounded by time, search for new shores where they meet, woven by dreams they dare not claim, spring and autumn in the same realm undaunted by reality, search for new horizon where a seashell and a star shall meet and embrace beyond time, triangulated by present illusion fades out.

  The Followers   Behind every leader are the followers. Followers are bold and strong, unlike the meek spectators . A leader can only exist with followers; The clamor of leadership is only possible with them. Followers entrust the leader, accept him with his virtues , and ignore his vices . They strengthen the leader to lead and accomplish their goals,  visualizing their reflection in the leader. Bonds , deep like unshakable  anchors are established. Yet, a fragile relationship looms and overshadows this bond, like a dormant volcano ready to erupt at any moment when followers feel betrayal by the leader.  

  The one who over the years;             Stood strong like a mountain, Nurtured everyone’s dreams,             Invested his life in a noble cause             Pinned against all the odds             Never gave up hope             Never looked back             Took everything in his stride,             Infused vigor in everyone around him,             Is a   True visionary and a benevolent leader.

 Reciprocate Affection, love, and gratitude reciprocate goodness, anger, hatred, venom, revenge reciprocates wickedness, a monk reciprocates neutralness, Shallow heart reflects emptiness, absence of reciprocation reflects stillness of feelings.   A  naive heart absorbs wickedness and reciprocates kindness, a rejuvenated mind reciprocates a feeling of calmness, noises within are silenced to reciprocate the harmony of meditation perseverance reciprocates the end of impatience, the arrival of the kingfisher beckons luck, joy, and good fortune to come.
