"Religions have evolved as a way of life; doctrines may fade as we move towards spirituality on the road to God which is bright as the daylight" In this simple compilation, I have pictured a few lives, showed us some light to carry us through in the pervasive dark days of human lives. I believe that God all merciful sends his messengers to take up mission and as they work with the delicate in need. There are many more in the shadows working earnestly, never seen or heard much about, only God may know their beautiful, selfless works. Thoughts came to me in the daunting times of COVID 19; the need looming large in acts of mercy and co-existence. It recalled the road we travelled on a guiding light as lanterns on the lanes and saw beacons of hope. But will they fade away.... Deviating halfway down the journey, we need to ask: - "Did we travel on the right path?" - "Will we inspire good minds to join us in the journey and embrace the unreached?" - "Will we ever try to live by the laws of nature?" Gita, the epic, in which Lord Krishna says, "If you walk in the path of Dharma if you absorb and follow the path of righteousness, then you not only emerge as a true leader but also serve and bring about a stronger nation, stronger universe and a stronger world." The time has come for us to rethink and reset our way of lives, embrace life in its fullest potential, hear a Coherent answer, attain a peaceful world, and a meet a merciful God. In this journey, we need your loving hearts, your caring hands and merciful deeds. We have seen some simple men and women do that in these dark days of sufferings. We shall Overcome... and make it a shining little blue marble, our home.

“Religions must have evolved as a way of life, doctrines may fade as we move towards spirituality on the road to truth, which is bright as the day light” In this simple compilation I have thought about a few lives, I hope have showed us some light to carry us through in the dark pervasive days of human lives. I believe in merciful God who sends his messengers to take up missions dedicated and delicate as they deal human minds. There are a many more in the shadows working earnestly, never seen or heard much about, only God and they know how valuable their beautiful selfless works prevail. Thoughts came to me in the daunting times of COVID 19; the need looming large in acts of mercy and co-existence. My mind wafted into thin air and took me to people who were the winds of change. It recalled the road we travelled along. Many inspirers, who were a guiding light as lanterns on the lanes were seen as beacons of hope, but will they fade away…. Deviating halfway down the journey, we need to ask: • “Did we travel on the right path?” • “Will we inspire good minds to join us in the journey and embrace the unreached?” • “Will we ever try to live by the laws of nature?” India has been blessed by Gita, the epic, in which Lord Krishna says, “If you walk in the path of Dharma, if you absorb and follow the path of righteousness, then you not only emerge as a true leader but also serve and bring about a stronger nation, stronger universe and a stronger world.” “Where there is neither Greek nor Jew, circumcised nor uncircumcised, barbarian, Scythian, bond nor free: but Christ is all, and in all.” Bible – Colossians, Chapter 3; Verse 11 In the Quran: “The term Advaita translated into Arabic would read ‘Wahdahu-la-Shareek’—the one who has no second...” The time has come for us to rethink and reset our way of lives, embrace life in its fullest potential, hear a Coherent answer, attain a peaceful world, and a meet a merciful God.

Poetry tough as old thorns and tender as fresh dog-violets. Love and survival in the hard North Yorkshire area where Charlie or CP as he's known by lives.

Born and raised in Greenville, Mississippi, within the shelter of old traditions, aristocratic in the best sense, William Alexander Percy in his lifetime (1885–1942) was brought face to face with the convulsions of a changing world. Lanterns on the Levee is his memorial to the South of his youth and young manhood. In describing life in the Mississippi Delta, Percy bridges the interval between the semifeudal South of the 1800s and the anxious South of the early 1940s. The rare qualities of this classic memoir lie not in what Will Percy did in his life—although his life was exciting and varied—but rather in the intimate, honest, and soul-probing record of how he brought himself to contemplate unflinchingly a new and unstable era. The 1973 introduction by Walker Percy—Will's nephew and adopted son—recalls the strong character and easy grace of "the most extraordinary man I have ever known."
