SILENCE

 

 

Silence

Written By: Raji Krishnan 

 

My silence is born
with me – within me
consoles me
all the time
 And I used to love
 This silence
 

but now, a thunderous silence
some unforeseen one
comes from nowhere
and tries to
break through my thoughts
and fills my mind and spirit
 

this silence speaks with me
in a language
that my heart interprets
but my mind
fails to relate
 

This silence torments me
day and night
with eyes that speak
I try to move away from it
But it fills my mind
With strange feelings
 And with reflections of darkness
It attracts me to it.
 

with these disturbing thoughts,
I try to steal myself away -
inside myself, I try to take cover
 And I cry silent tears
 Unable to break away!

 

Quote of the Day - Teenagers

Children are born as babies

to give parents time to develop

a love for them before

they become teenagers.

Al Batt

Quote of the Day - LOVE

Anyone can come into your life and say how much they love you.

 It takes someone really special to stay in your life

 and show how in love with you they really are.

‎"You have to find something that you love enough to be able to take risks, jump over the hurdles, and break through the brick walls that are always going to be placed in front of you. If you don't have that kind of feeling for what it is you're doing, you'll stop at the first giant hurdle." - George Lucas

THE PSYCHOLOGY OF COLOR part 9

Pink signifies romance and has

 a positive impact on the heart.

It is the innocent side of love

as it is a mixed color

(union of red and white)

and blends passion and purity.

Pink actually has a

physical impact on the human body:

when the eyes see a large pink

object the body grows noticeably weaker.

(This is borne out by clinical test and has nothing to do

with pink elephants coming your way after

a long night at the local bar!)

Pale pink represents the sweetness of youth;

vibrant pinks are high-spirited and express energy.

Pink foods are perceived as sweet-tasting and sweet-smelling.

In decor, pink adds impact to neutrals.

Shocking pink with white creates clean, vibrant looks.

Pink is the color of unconditional love

and is beneficial in rooms used to getting to

"the heart of something."

It has been used in prisons to calm aggressive inmates.

Used in a bedroom, it evokes memories

of being in the womb,

offering safety and security.

QUOTE FOR THE DAY / HUMANS

HUMANS were made to

run on LOVE,

and they do not

function well on

anything else.

- Our Daily Bread

QUOTE FOR THE DAY / LOVE

A dog is the only thing

on this earth

that loves you

more than

he loves himself.

---Josh Billings

QUOTE OF THE DAY / EVIL

Evil would be extinct

were it not

for the lack of

love in men's hearts.

THE PSYCHOLOGY OF COLOUR - part two

RED

Red is on objective colour and is associated with danger and alerts us to pay attention.

It is the strongest colour in the spectrum and is intense, impulsive, active and aggressive.

Red speaks of love, lust, passion and not unexpectedly will increase blood pressure.
Red is best used in splashes or as accessories.

It is a great colour for activity areas or for an entrance lobby.

It indicates excitement and liveliness within a house and so would work well

in a kitchen since it is a natural gathering area

where you want to encourage interaction and congeniality.

THE PSYCHOLOGY OF COLOR - part one

Colors are very much a matter of personal preference -

and so take note that the colors we use in our homes

will have an effect on our emotions every day.

All colours influence us in very subtle ways:

psychologically, emotionally, and even spiritually.

They stimulate us to be more receptive, energetic, romantic, and creative;

and conversely to make us feel tired, depressed, agitated or aggressive.

Below, I offer some choices for you to consider when you're poring over

those numerous color chips in search of the perfect decor.
Much of the time the colors that we choose are problematic

for us only because they're in the wrong room.

How often have you played a scenario some­thing like this,

"I absolutely loved Sonya's red kitchen -

that red is just the perfect color

and so I used the same color for my bedroom.

But now, I just hate it!

And yet, every time I'm in her kitchen I fall in love with it all over again.

It just doesn't make any sense."
In actuality, it makes perfect sense.

Red is rich and lively and connotes excitement and conviviality -

something you definitely want to encourage in a kitchen,

but not necessarily in the bedroom -

unless you're starring in a Sex and The City episode.

The redincreases your vital signs and makes you "uber-aware" -

the delicious aromas, the ambience of your friend's kitchen

may not be what you want in a bedroom where you wish to relax and unwind.

(It is no error in judgment that bordello rooms are red!)

So, take your friend's red paint suggestion that you love so much -

paint your own kitchen walls with it, for instance,

and you'll find yourself suddenly liking the color again;

equally, now that your bedroom is painted a more serene colour

you won't be dreaming of murder and mayhem.

GOOD BYE MY BELOVED GEORGE UNTIL WE ARE TOGETHER AGAIN

On Thursday May 14 2009 my beloved husband George died. My heart is broken and my soul is crying - no words can express how much I miss you and wish you where still here with me.
But we will meet again and until then I know you will be with me to guide my every step. You where my life, my friend, my love and my heart.

THE TRAVELER
by James Dillet Freeman
He has put on invisibility, Dear Lord, I cannot see-But this I know, although the road ascends And passes from my sight, That there will be no night; That You will take him gently by the hand
And lead him on
Along the road of life that never ends,
And he will find it is not death but dawn,
I do not doubt that You are there as here,
And you will hold him dear. Our life did not begin with birth,
It is not of the earth,
And this that we call death, it is not more
Than the opening and closing of a door-
And in Your house how many rooms must be
Beyond this one where we rest momently. Dear Lord, I thank You for the faith that frees,
The love that knows it cannot lose its own:
The love that, looking through the shadows, see
That You and he and I are ever one!
