Happy New Year...

Time of Life

In the flicker of an eyelid the world unfolds

Seconds turn to minutes and days turn into years

We stream through our lives but often in despair

Trying to make time for everything, but the moment disappears

Our vision eludes the blossoming, the twinkle, the laughter and smiles

As bubbles of unnoticed instances, lay stagnant in memories untold

Awakening of age finds us perplexed in the ravages of life

Precious moments lost in return of fool’s gold

So, this year I wish

Let us embrace our past with bittersweet memories

and yearn for what the future beholds …

Time in a bottle ~Jim Croce

Text: The world and it's affairs are totally false, know this well my friends. Says Nanak it is like a wall of sand, it shall not endure.

All of us are wandering through our lives trying to build a fortress using particles of sand that remain in our clenched fists. Time seeps through our hands like tiny grains of sand and yet we fight the odds and build this fortress. Only to reach a state where time washes every impression of our existence. This is why Guru Nanak says our true wealth is the remembrance of God (Waheguru) There in lays tranquility, by distancing ourselves from the meandering affairs of the world and finding solace in the name of God (Waheguru)
