I spy a cat’s eyes

Sprawled upon the concrete coarse

Soft hues brown and black

Well, the danger of the roads has surely passed ⚠️

Still I remain tied to the past ⌚

Could it be that I am home at last ❔

Home at last ❕

130 years on, still a day to remember, 1st September, when a lad, still a teenager, arrived in #Tiruvannamalai, with no possessions and no other intent other than to obey the command of his Father, #Arunachala, never ever to leave again, and #RamanaMaharshi's presence remains palpable, still 🙏🏻

Between day and night

As grows intensely the fading light

Limning the silence

Mother and child, safe and at ease in the perennially peaceful presence of the Maharshi.

The grey langur, a.k.a the Hanuman langur, is native to India, instantly recognisable by their silvery-grey bodies and dramatic dark faces. Infants have pale faces with wide, curious eyes.

Evening shadows fall,

Hearts silent and close by the mountain,

Peace in every soul

Soft summer stillness

As the light lingers beyond sunset

Whispers of silence

My very favourite person, the ever-effervescent, inimitable #KVS, now in his 10th decade and in his own words "ready for departure", then quotes #Rumi in the original Persian: "Morg raftan nist, residan est" (death is not departure, but arrival) and laughs infectiously.
