'The Abode',as the dictionary says is a housing that someone is living in, your residence. I tend to question my childhood dream of an Abode-my small and happy world.
"Do i really want a residence where my travel would cease and i would get settled?"
"Does such an abode actually exist?"
"IF MY JOURNEY DEPRIVES ME OF 'MY ABODE',
I HAVE NO REGRETS!!"

Peace or freedom
Why do You cage yourself every time? I know, you think, doing that can buy you some peace. But you forget, There can be no peace without freedom. photograph borrowed from https://www.pinterest.com/pin/491525746807861568/
So true! We are like dust particles, we run till we "settle", once we do, we wait to be picked up by the mop which cleans the world. Perhaps, remaining unsettled is freedom and essence of being alive?
nice analogy Siri :). I think dust particles have a choice to make. Are they running to settle in the embrace o gravity, or are they running way from it to rise to the sky..
Oh yes! You can never tell. It appears that they are not going anywhere, as they rise and fall. One can only see their struggles in a ray of light. On the other hand, perhaps we are that ray of light, unchanging, eternal, unaffected by this struggle, and meant to be happy, but we think we are just specks of dust meant to give-in. I am digressing a lot, beautiful work!
Again you said it in just a few verses! Amazing! And loved the picture too.
ReplyDeletethanks.:)
Deleteand when there is no peace in heart we will not find peace anywhere in the world. very nice post!
ReplyDeletepeace is what we seek in this whole wide world.
Deletepeace is what is needed in this sanguine world.
peace is what we don't find in this big crazy world.
Very deep and brilliant :)
ReplyDeletePeace is only found when you let go and exist in the very moment that we know as "Now".

freedom is understood in the context of bondage!!
ReplyDeletetrue. for instance, emancipation from the bondage of soil is no freedom for the tree...
DeleteThe cage keeps the demons away...
ReplyDeleteand the angels too...
