Battle Cry...
It used to shriek and ding, Now it softly groans om, The drumbeat of sleepy feet, Never truly rested, Off again to be tested.
Pet the cats, Slip on slippers, Start the coffee, Set out clean clothes, Brush and shower, Master the comb.
Dress and button, Zip and tie, Pour the pot, Kiss on the fly, Hop in the truck, Turn the key.
Flip on the radio, Start up Maps, She reads me directions, Where the traffic is at.
Tick-tock-tick, I'm racing away, I won't slow down, Not 'til the end of the day.
Every which way, My attention is split, In fours and threes, There's never enough of me, Slap and dash, Fire of the moment, A job truly well-done, That's way back in history.
Produce with the least, That's the new American battle cry!

In Kathmandu technology rules life; but, in far distant mountain village I live with the age old belief in human values.
Mobile phones with advanced technology connects people on screen, but does not bond people with warmth of touch
in far distant village where there is no electricity and no mobile a captivating smile and an embrace make me alive.
The caress of the autumn breeze, the songs of birds the silent sentinels of white peaks are far more meaningful than songs on a mobile.
Where will we go from here? I wonder!!! - Dip

We can show the world the spark of our soul
when we let loose our control and merge in
what we really are.
When we take a deep breath and watch it flow inside.
The world stops peace prevails.
Wishing you all peaceful moments. Namaste. - Dip ~ Dip
