Today's Best Offers


O Shiva, 
what is your reality? 
What is this universe so full of marvels?
What makes the seed?
What is the hub of the wheel of the universe?
What is this life beyond the form that pervades all forms?
How can we enter fully into it, 
above space and time, 
names and 
appearances?

    That photograph completely distracting Gwil - can't think about the poem!

      I'm glad you like my 'selfie'. Not the best in the morning in the bathroom mirror.

    I don't think Shiva will be interested in banishing your doubts.

      It's part of an ancient religious text from Shiva-worship Kashmir. What I find interesting is the rest of it: space/time and even a galaxy description in there. Interesting that they have a Shiva bronze standing outside the gates to the Large Hadron Collider where today they study 'life' beyond form that pervades form. Shiva the dancer with many arms, the quantum and infinite deity.

      Just deleted that last line about doubts. I didn't like it anyway.
