How to Make the Most of a Sunday

Holidays are always welcome. But they seem to end even before they have begun.This is why we keep on planning what we would do on a coming Sunday. To make the most of a Sunday, plan well in advance, From Monday the planning should begin. As you are in the office, cleverly avoid being detected by the boss's stooges, when you shuffle from table to table to inquire about the craziest bar or night club where you can take a few friends for a night out. This will take some time, for there will be so many to choose from and so many pieces of advice from your team mates that you will be in a fix as to choose the right one.
 On Tuesday morning you say to yourself , "Today I'll finalise the place," and off you go whistling to the office only to find the office attendent smirking on your face and a load of files needing your Immediate Attention . You sit down to plod through them but you cannot help looking at the calendar in front of you, Red  Sunday staring at you. So you get for a glass of water and saunter off pretending exhaustion after a day's work. After taking Tom the new office executive into confidence, you finally decide on say Night Dreams as the name appears suggestive.
 On Wednesday and Thursday you are left biting your lips at the office because of nervousness at the oncoming great event of your life. Friday is spent in booking a table at the chosen place while Saturday finds you on the phone callingup friends who you would  like to accompany you. Saturday evening you realise that you have forgotten an important aspect of your Sunday Soiree---Money, and you find all the banks closed.
Sunday at home again, calling up friends to say yo are sorry.

How We Should React to Mystics Today

Mystics are supposed to be close to God and have direct knowledge of spiritualism than most of us do. Being religious means knowing and acting right as per the instructions of the church or the scriptures. This may appear too boring and repetitive at times as most truths lose their relevance and substantiality after a period of time. But mystic experiences add a quality of freshness to our perception of the world and create ground for new illuminations and visionary directions to change the state of things we are rotting in. Consider for example, the revelations of St. Joan of Arc. Were they not intended to stop political apathy and save France from English domination? St Joan's claim that she had been directed by the voice of God to venture upon a task that needed extreme courage and determination, and Indomitable Faith to pursue the Lord's authorial voice to the last, were found to be true at last and therfore she was anointed. But during her lifetime she faced the ridicule of the Church and was burnt on the stake to appease political and ecclesiastical interests.
Mystics keep on being born. Society has not learnt from lessons from history. They are still haunted and sacrificed at the alter of greed and dissension.
Weshould react differently to Mystics. The common enough mode today is to declare them mentally ill and have them put behind the bars of an asylum. Or to torture them after declaring them to be heretics and witches. This is primarily because they speak in metaphors that elude our understanding. Their real life experiences are translated into proverbs and parables, and their ability to see the unseen upsets us.
 Ler us be kind and thoughtful to them and try to profit from their insights and knoweledge of the unknown.

Gypsy Vibes

The mountains are green with monsoon trees

Over them loom the dark blue clouds

The river swells with unmeshed glee

Breaks and bounds in loops and curls.

 Her snake black hair she unfurls

To flow along the river’s edge

Her sun kissed toes with silver rings

And tawny feet,   anklet laced

Yield not their youthful spree

Her unveiled face is open to gaze

Of secret eyes she holds within

Somewhere deep   in the wilderness

Her anchored being in stillness

                                 

Beholds---

A face and eyes long razed to dust

A face and eyes stilled not by time

A face and eyes become once more

Interred in her face and eyes.
