    Everything in life has a purpose. We aren’t all destined to be great. Some of us have to be the flower that blooms once and inspires someone else for a lifetime. Think about it.
    Nice to visit your blog.

    Hey Akhila, I already moved my blog (Kizo Daniels’ Blog) from this old address to my new blog address: http://www.kizodanielsblog.com

    I transferred your WordPress subscription to my new blog (that’s why it probably appears that you are no longer following this old blog address in particular), but you still get to see my posts on your WordPress feed (because you’re now subscribed to my new blog address), but I would love it so much if you could subscribe instead via EMAIL so that you get every post delivered in your mailbox.

    Also, I tried to see if there was a way I could follow your blog posts via email but didn’t see the box for that. Kindly let me know if there’s a way I can do that. I’ll be setting this old blog address to ‘private’ soon.

    Check out my new blog…and subscribe to that via email. Thanks.

    From dust to dust is the rule of nature. What goes up must come down. So what blooms must wither, at least one day! So enjoy the beautiful fragrance while it lasts, my dear Akhi!

        Because the whole point of the period between it becoming a bud and then withering is the beauty of blooming and spreading its beautiful fragrance to the world, that is for you to enjoy. Well, if you would rather wallow about its withering when then it is fresh and spreading out its beauty, then is it not you who is at a loss? Is it not you who is missing the best part of witnessing and enjoying that beautiful flower?

    If there was no ending to things, there would be no beginnings. There is no beauty without ugliness, and so on. We need contrasts and opposites in life to give it meaning: if the flower would bloom forever, would we even give it a second look or thought?

    It bloomed because you made it bloom. You wanted to see the beauty. Just like you are doing everything else in your world without thinking about it. You made that flower bloom in the same way you make your heart beat or hair grow. Nature is the living subconscious.

        I agree. Look to nature for the answers. I see it as this…. If you were a god and had all the powers you could imagine, would you not eventually get bored? Would you decide to come to a place where you lost all your powers and didn’t remember a thing? At first you would want to be famous and loved by all, but you would get bored with that too. We are part of nature but we are also part of the divine. When the myths refer to the underworld it’s referring to us now. We are in the underworld. We are in the game of the god and goddesses (us) to see how much we can remember or figure out. Nature goes in cycles and so do we. We may not come back here, but we will decide to return somewhere or sometime and continue playing our game and making our art. 😊

            Maybe we will end up in another universe at a later point and time. I think we stay in soul groups where the group goes together and plays different roles life to life.
            I don’t think anyone is peeping over us. I believe the human race is in its infancy. Maybe some day if we grow up they will pay attention to us.

    You are just a guest here. This world is just an illusion,Your life is short
    Money, ego, house, jewellery,nothing you will take along with you.
    You came here empty handed, you will go empty handed. You know this, but you are acting ignorant, and wasting your life
    The way you are lost in everyday life you have forgotten God in this problem of ego We have seen this yet
    Those who run after material thing lose, One who understood real meaning of life cries over life
    You believe the mortal life,
    thinking of what do you love this life?

    In their daily troubles, whoever is there, is lost,
    In reality, who has understood what is life..
