The Effect of Rain
Raindrops, come, I long for you
with the longing of the oceans,
the river's dry beds,
the peacock's thousand eyes,
looking for the colour missing from the plume,
Come without thunder, with no lightening streaks of a surprise;
come heavy with love that cannot be contained long.
Let each drop be bound
in undivided strength
that will cut through rocks and the avalanche melt.
The fire has been razing to the ground
the trunks and the branches;
the ice has been of a white blue flame
Between the fire and the ice the universe swings
and no lullabies the ocean sings
can put to sleep
the child crying,
The nights are dark when the child cries,
and no fairy-tales, however divine
can put a child to sleep.
Rain, you know how the earth yearns
when your long absence burns
the soil and the fields
and the thirsty birds.
Shield and cover the crust of the earth from the callous mockery of the sun.

As a Google doodle celebrates the birth of the great French feminist, philosopher and novelist, Simone Beauvoir, here is a glimpse of her thinking.
"To emancipate woman is to refuse to confine her to the relations she bears to man, not to deny them to her; let her have her independent existence and she will continue nonetheless to exist for him also: mutually recognising each other as subject, each will yet remain for the other an other. The reciprocity of their relations wil…

When You Are Quiet
When you are quiet and serene,
the cold winter fireside glows;
your face hides in the shadows;
a grey mist hides the silver screen. …

This is the night
when the stars follow a lonely moon
and fairies jump into a boat
to catch the last ferry to return to home in the sky.
I am breathless
following the wind.
Slow down;
let me catch up.
Walk, do not run.
The rain is beating upon my back;
I am soaked, shivering to the bones.
Indiscreet, the touch of rain,
like a charade acted out,
asking me to guess your word
leaving just a touch for a clue.

Sushama Karnik shared a memory.

Breathe.
Breathe, deeply,
breathe intensely, ecstatic, wild, a strong breath.
Spin; let your mind and heart spin around the spine
and feel the energy ascend as you spin…
