From the Womb of the Father
That line 👆 has been with me 3 weeks now. I wake up to sit in star-shade by our potted grapevine that snuggles baby pigeon twins: it is quiet, so quiet you could hear us breathe. Times like these, it arrives with a Noise- that we are Created: the lot of us- kings, priests, fugitives,… Continue reading

Lyrics & Life
Healing Rain let It fall, let It whisper Its secrets, it’s time, Let it scour the rust, of the ashes of dust you & I… (Do check my song here if you would..) Continue reading

Tender tantrums of healing
I’m fascinated at the way our human body mends, physically, emotionally, socially… It takes tiny baby steps, and It may not even look like a mending. Have you ever darned? Y’know, stitched? I’ve watched my Ma do that, her tiny needle sashaying across a tear in the fabric. She’d turn it over and go again… Continue reading

Wednesday Wondergirl
She will be 20 in less than a week, loves high heels, and cooking, oh purple soft toy unicorns….my little girl has grown into a caring sensitive funloving young woman with a heart for social work(majoring in it). She showed me this sketch of hers, titled: Mending. Has she had some rough teen years? Yes.… Continue reading

Saturday’s child.
His name was Dhru*; he loved the ‘roaring’ bit. Dhru must be at least ten years old today, when we did “Everybody is differently beautiful”, he must’ve been 7? To think he couldn’t see his costume, had no clue what a lion’s mane was like, or even heard it roar, what a sport Dhru was.… Continue reading

Angel unawares
She found us on a railway platform, Bangalore East; was fascinated by our daughter’s phone and finger ring. Then she wouldn’t leave us; half hour later I was curious to see her family, was she alone? Were there more pretty eyes like hers, gold amber, dark with long lashes…. You could get trapped between tears… Continue reading

What Child is This?
Today at our little church overlooking gulmohar trees and a blue December sky, the question was asked,“What does Jesus mean to you?” I don’t like Q&As; we could be judged in these sessions, but this morning here there are people in their teens and twenties and the few of us other gen. humans. They are… Continue reading

Be that Star
A Christmas Prayer: “Let me be that Star, Let Your Life blaze through my inadequacy, Gaze thru’ my shadows with Compassion, with forgiveness and the kind of tender mercy You’ve stood for, Oh Gentle Saviour, arrest my blindness with Your freedom to be who I was made to be, in the Light of your power.… Continue reading

Joseph’s lost head & that Other fantastic Noel!
We took them out one by one. Joseph has lost his little clay head and there’s no time to fix him back so I cover his torso with a tiny cane head piece. Can you spot Joseph? Our son Johann is blind and yes he put out each figure like last Christmas, but this time,… Continue reading

House with roof in the floor
Once upon a time there was this one roomed house with a thatched roof, and it was a nice house to a nice couple. They were happy people with enough peace and joy to go around this season and the next. Farmer Jose and wife grew potatoes and onions, they were not rich they were… Continue reading

I said a prayer for you today
I prayed that you would be given the gift of sight, but God in His mercy allowed me to see His Light all around you. Now I ask that you my child will pray too, this prayer for others: that thru’ your journey via the valley of shadows, you will leave footprints that lead another… Continue reading

Street prayers
Great perils have this beauty, that they bring to light the fraternity of strangers. – Victor Hugo. I called this one Street Prayers after a recent Haiku Jam starter, “Corner of the Street,” but maybe it was inspired by a visit few evenings ago, a visit by a little face in a shop window. The face… Continue reading
