Moon

"In the darkening sky, if you cast your eyes,

You will see the silver lady rise,

Bathing the world in a steely blue

Edged with a haunting, silver hue"

Moon...just a sight of which gives a feeling of lightness, calm n peace of mind. Sometimes brain become motionless and mind starts flowing and often surprising journey through a world of rhythms, noise and silence, in search of small slice of tranquillity.Ever tried to listen sound of wind in nights, it just feel different. It takes me away from all worries, towards peace and I leave my soul free to explore the territory of wisdom, a philosophical kingdom of thoughts.
Looking at moon, may be full moon or a crescent one.... what a creation... looking at a lovely lady who just come out after taking bath...aahhaa...and showering the dark night with milky rays.... dreaming thoughts flowing all over mind... a feeling of relaxation.... you just need to experience it.

Moon, science might have proved his dependence on sun for light, his inability to give own light... But I will say look at him in just different manner. Just imagine, how kind he ( Moon) is ... a torturing, hot rays from cruel sun... he just accepts it... it absorbs all the abominable part of it.. and reflects a calm flowing stream of pastoral light... one should learn from him , how to make out of bad things and coming out with wonderful things which are hidden in the wrapper of agony of thoughts. In our childhood we used to call moon as 'chandamama' ( brother of mother Earth). He is so close to us... in our mind... he has his own virtual life cycle as all of us have... it goes shrinking with pain day by day and one day hides behind the shadow, but next day he starts building up his attitude and rise back to become full moon... and enjoys the joy of attainment and dims the effect of stars around. Its all philosophy, never get down in your hard times, you have opportunity to rise back again and avoid vainglory when your are top at something, it always results in extinction. I think that's why every time I look at him, I feel something different, something that I can't describe but I feel, just like your inner 'you' starts conversing with you.

In ancient Indian philosophy, moon has every important position. He is the one who drives the Indian calender which is though tough to manipulate but more accurate than the one which we all are following now. They believe that, all stars position and moon decides our life moves. Even in Muslim religion, they have importance to 'Chand ' on Id specially ....aha... I just love the crescent view of moon and Venus appears coming near to him...just remind me the marathi song by MangeshPadgaonkar- "Shukratara, mand wara... chandane paanyatuni.. " The moon sometimes reminds you the person whom you love so much but still far from them. ...huh....I will go on talking...I need to stop...
As today it was Sankashti Chaturthi , I had a fast for whole day and haven't eaten anything without taking first look of moon, that's the gift that Lord Ganesh has given to him. Its now 1 o clock in night and I am going to talk with moon...going to live in world of dreams...showering my self with moonlight and washing out all thoughts and clearing my mind from all worries....want to live in space of eternity.
