SANDS OF TIME
Time immemorial, time to time existence in form passed away.
Humans for a while are a memory in hearts of loved
In whom they are memory they also passed in the sands of time
In times’s grip are all, nothing without the clutch
Time sweeps all beings alongwith, try to know, it has gone by
Not a single left behind to see, only dust or in wide sky or in the heavens
While in present everything looks beautiful, wonderful, enchanting, admirable, lovely
Everything becomes earth, dust, soil, air
Acceptance of time of what it shows now, or else, no wait, it flies makes a tale

Ok through the blogroll I can go through. Sometimes I find that bit difficult because you write so many types of posts.. What I meant was the ones which you want me to read special and favourite ones.
Erika you have been blogging for so many years now and I mine they said it is my 7th Anniversary in that I was totally not active for almost three years after this gap now I am feeling blogging had changed and even WordPress for that matter. Most old bloggers have gone or either inactive the new ones are so so, what I mean is, the charm is loosing. Do you also feel so. Please comment on that.
Anyways I shall come to you later during the day. See if you can, to give the links of your older posts.

Shiva, I see. You know, I have my Daily Kind Quotes from Monday through Friday. To get easier access you can click on “Daily Kind Quotes” in my menu bar on top of my page. Then there is a poem each Tuesday and an article each Monday (except when I am on a break or do a song week like this week). So maybe you go from there. It is difficult to decide which post could be most interesting for you but I’d say you should check out the Monday posts. My last one got published on April 25.
I know what you mean regarding the changed atmosphere in our community. I think it has a lot to do with the grown busyness in many people’s lives. Many left therefore, and sadly some passed away. Also my life has gotten so much busier. Meanwhile, I have an employed job and my self-employment is booming. I had to limit my number of posts and my blogging time in gerneral for not going crazy.
But I think what happened is that some bloggers became for self-focused too. Their honest engagement and serious comments are lacking. Still, there is a wonderful core of followers who frequently show up, read, and comment content-related. You can tell from the comments who they are.
So, yes, I hear you. Sending you blessings, dear Shiva!

Thank-you Shiva, I can relate to your pointing’s. 👉 Everything comes and goes: “The Divine play of form”. We are all time-bound in the world of form, but when we are present, we step out of time⌚ and become timeless, formless and joyful. Even if for a few moments, we are free in bliss. 😇🕯️☯️☮️
