thank you for sharing Tania and Tomas. i guess we are all finding pieces of ourselves in others. This helps us appreciate the goodness outside our souls.

God Bless

While reading "Sounds from Within", it have looked as if I am gazing at my own self-portrait. Wow! I like it, but that confuses me the most. You are writing nice and all you tell us is the truth that frightens me. I have questioned myself, what is my response to fairy tales - to GOD?
While reading the poem, I was comforted- lovely memoirs have revived...I would like to applaud, but that would mean I'm enjoying just at myself, and don’t participate in sharing the good message (I don’t help my readers to recognize themselves (God's love) in the eyes of each other , but not in a mirror.
These comments remind my diary, but that's not just personal writing. What is the place of an artist in our world? Is he just a viewer, or the secular priest?
It was fine to read, but it is awful to admit that – have I the right to enjoy at looking at a mirror?

Re: # 2
I discovered Nirvana but cannot quite hold on to it. It has a tendency to slip away and then the journey towards it begins again. But yes, i've experienced it and would like to finally posess it. Any ideas?

Re: # 1

Thank you Nikhat. A moment of peace is a rarity in a chaotic world. And being able to share the feeling with others is even rarer. If even one other being understands the feeling, life is a complete bliss!
thank you for sharing:)

Wow!Nice
What a wonderful jouney you had! You reached that place, your inner self; that exotic exhilirating place which is as blissful as the journey towards it. Once you tread that path you wish to go again and again and again. Everytime the tour would be exciting, challenging adventure and everytime the outcome will fill you with sheer sense of joy and strange peace.
Lovely! straight from the heart I felt.
