Election Day

posters on post still
proud battles end

Vote for continuity, vote for change. This elector knows that they are both admirable thoughts and postions. He knows that destiny is created by the power of choice. He know that the time has come for the ballot to be cast.  He thinks about the nation. He thinks about his son and daughter. "What example do I set". How does he decide his preferences? Policies or Person. Our actions has its consequences. Same for the President his character and service are the prerequisites of office. Election day comes. He must vote for the President of his choice as one vote can win.

body connection

A heuristic model would place Walking on an horizontal axis. Meditation on the vertical. The two seem to run in contrary directions. One requires movement .The other stillness. Yet both are so essential our connection with people and places .

hand in hand
what do they care

Walking is a dawn to dusk routine with less activity after twilight.Its purpose is to the reach a physical destination .Our homes, workplaces, clubs, churches, mandirs , mosques, shopping malls and parties. To view the scenes and meet people along the way. We go on nature tours, work tours, pilgrimages, vacations on foot. Stolling on the seawalls, gardens is a great way to meet and enjoy the company of friends and new people.

On the other hand meditation is restful . At the best a nightly routine. Also done at well chosen hours of the day. Avoiding noise and conflict with duty; with work schedules.Its destination is unity with the Universal Spirit. The inner journey leads through different states of higher light and sound for us to perceive. These principles are common to each of us. We can understand eventually the oneness of life around us.

We can undertake this meditation tour walk only with a Guide. It is personal journey. The destination is within. However group meditation can be a source of inspiration. Company is quiet an assurance . It boosts the atmosphere. It always good to know that you are one of many.

Yes walking is a most essential link between people . Meditation is like building a bridge over trouble waters . As one sees the light of God within himself and others his/her connection is assured.

that command

 Three young  women pass by in a hurry. Going where I do not know. They are young . It seems that they have much time before them. Maybe they think differently.Off to buy new clothes or something to eat or other gifts, perfumes at the Christmas time. Maybe someone is waiting or there is work undone. Whatever.

that command once more
push the body

from the West on the wind floats an old melody

involuntary
thoughts of love
bewildered

bright sunshine, simple ordinary folks hovering around, going nowhere all the time
As we come now to the end of the day, time to reflect, introspect and meditate.the beautiful night before us.

day done
now to change
