An idea, a thought, an anecdote, a story or a poem a day!

  Is it the dawn approaching,  or the day setting! Is it the new beginning,  or a beginning to an end is beginning? as creation, within, without and all around,  wakes up in destruction! And bemused by this society’s dream of continuity, and preservation  while it is lost in a chaos,  I have been thinking - - if Kalki, the Avatar of redemption, we have been waiting for the millennia, is already here,  in the Trimurti incarnated [1] ! [i] Brahma, we were created Vishnu,  we were preserved Shiva,  WE destroyed!

A lethargy is settling in us, in terms of our ideals of  social equality,  our  generosity, care and understanding that we had felt for our fellow beings, those near and those a far, people all suffering the onslaught of covid, all under the same sky, in a levelled world! But with the recently discovered clarity of this post covid world, with a shift in this  definition  of fraternity , the "social distancing" I can see, all of us are at different levels in every way; mine so high, and theirs so low’; of mine being shiny white and theirs being so black, this superiority of my ideologies over theirs; and this imperialism of my isms, over theirs; and I had thought we had walked away from these ideas, well, by putting such a long distance in-between us!
