LOGOS HOPE: SPREADING HOPE AND KNOWLEDGE

      

STANDING TALL.

She’s a realization of a dream dreamt with all   senses consciously awake. Standing tall she exemplifies an architectural feat achieved through meticulous planning, rigorous vigor and herculean labor.  It’s history in the making; a fine piece of art adorning  the golden sands of Arabia.

Shimmering in her pristine beauty, she is more a ‘model’ cat walking on loose grains, a ‘Naomi Campbell’, sleek and ‘chic’ to the core. She is a new definition to  the word ‘beautiful’.

A class above and beyond, she is immaculate, precise and prestigious -  in simple words, a finery.

The world looks up to her while she looks down at the world but in humility.

My experience of the Burj Khalifa will be one to treasure.  I had seen, heard, read and lived through every step of her creation. Not all the time was I  in awe . There were moments (many of them)  when I felt she was far too steely and way too tall to adorn Dubai’s skyline. I was apprehensive and even angered to see constructors working at odd hours in the summer heat of the desert to fulfill a dream.

 My distanced view had no liking for this tapered structure that was far   too gray.  Each day I watched it taking shape, my heart went out to the men behind and on the scenes putting their strenuous effort;  the structure on the other hand always  had a back seat.

However, walking on her carpeted floors was like an intake of a magic potion that at once transformed my opinion. Now, I’m all in awe and admiration for this  piece of art. The refinement and regality of its construction and the smooth silk like finesse  left me feeling good for days on end.

She’s made to impress , to catch everyone’s attention by day and  night; you can’t help but notice her. Sometimes she is a thin ray of light,  other times  a glittering jewel. To her presence the waters of the fountain sway  daintily.

She’s the pride of the land for many reasons and will forever be!

Reflect...

When you have the faith that things will turn out to be the best you can 
enjoy whatever life brings your way.

Contemplation:
Throughout the day you will come across a lot of seemingly difficult 
situations. But if you have the faith that whatever happened was good, and 
whatever is happening is better, you will be able to enjoy each and every 
moment. You will also be able to learn from your mistakes.

Application:
At the end of each day think of all those things that happened wrong and see 
what you have learnt from them. When you are sure that you have learnt 
something you will understand what has happened was for the good.

LIFE..

Soul takes shape

 in  the form of life

giving  us reasons to celebrate.

Now , there is laughter  and mirth,

and profuse joy

at the thought  of  continuity

 and permanence of a lineage.

Tradition and custom will pass on

from  me to my now born

and henceforth.

That is  life,

 A circle

where an end is a beginning.

SOL (SUN in Greek)

A  riot of colors,

Purple, Magenta, Yellow, Orange , Red,

 a ‘ball of fire’

distinct and distanced

with energy  that  exuberates , exhilarates

and sustains.

A life force

source of all vitamins,

 and nourishment .

An illuminator and the very phenomena of LIFE.

Refuge

Silver moon - pristine, chaste,

jewel of the star studded sky

 flickering flames in  mountain curves

 shimmers through the mist and fog.

 In the daylight haze,

 the lush  green conifers ,

and rhododendrons tall,

velvet cobbled floors,

 steal the show.

God of nature

reigns in the  murmuring stream,

 sparkling waters of the spring,

 the  birds, bees  and wind.

The 'HILL'  is a  healer,

restorer and resurrector

for parched 'city'  souls.

EYES...

Eyes speak

the language of the heart


to the one 


sieved from the crowd.


Then-


there’s communication in silence, 


a rupture of emotions 


Only ‘EYES'  fathom!
