i only wanna be with you

It doesn't matter where we go or what we do...
I wanna spend each moment of the day with you.
It happens to be true....
I only wanna be with you !!

rustling of leaves

to understand the written word and to actually experience it...hear the rustling of leaves.....aah what a world of difference.....the chirping of sparrows.....the smell of grass....the croaking of frogs....flowers so fragile that you cannot even hold them in your hand without perspiration marring their delicate softness.

nature...ever beautiful....ever changing....God's gift to us every single day

Rapture and Ecstasy

way back when i was in college had told a friend that these are two of my favourite words.....imagine my surprise when i came across these words in a book on Ramana Maharshi.....

"in rapture or ecstasy, the mind is momentarily absorbed and stilled in a fragmentary experience of the bliss that is its true nature. The very words indicate the transcending of the individuality, since 'rapture' means etymologically being carried away and 'ecstasy' standing outside oneself."

checked out the net...figuratively used
rapture.....carried away in an ecstatic trance
ecstasy.....a state of rapture that stupified the body while the soul contemplated divine things


the same two beautiful words.........

may you know rapture and ecstasy in this lifetime......
