A Bridged Gap



I sat with you,
At the foot of the bridge,
No indecent glimmer,
Just shiny scales of a silvery river,
Ripe crisp air light brightening,
A beat of a dragonfly’s wings,
Circles and whips round my ear,
Fluttering downward along,
The gently moving stream,
Zig-zagging electric blue tints,
A universe glow with shock-like moves,
Stupefying and striped like a tiger’s back,
As free and light as a floating seed,
Or my voice traipsing in gusty wind,
Hovering the water’s rippling face,
My soul twists and bends,
Just like its flight,
I look at your necklace,
Sunlight enters my pupils,
My eyelids flicker,
I am awake in a dream,
Not real, not true, or surreal,
Paradisal, sublime, nostalgic,
Dusty dry toes you dip in water,
Wet rings around tips of your soles,
We walked far to be here,
Across yellow flowery fields,
Over meadows and busy wildlife,
This country scene is awe-inspiring.

The reasoning becomes nonsensical and a person is torment...

Theory of non-violence for Equality and Justice July 2016

Non-violence is a theory and practice rooted in religion and civil disobedience.  The theory or practice of non-violence has long been contested as improbable or impossible, in a global society always in conflict.  Non-violent theorists and believers argue when there is already so much death and blood-shed, the oppressed have found far better solutions found with non-violence.  A large part of non-violent theory originates from the religion of Hinduism.  Non-violence is an internal belief built as a lifestyle choice.  It enables people to understand and appreciate the sanctity of all life, especially human life,  ahisma . Truth-force and love-force and moral-force are the components of  satyagraha,  which means “grasping love and truth” in its literal translation. However its meaning transcends further because of the work of Mohandas K Gandhi.  In 1931 he spoke, “I feel in the innermost recesses of my heart …that the world is...
