Full Moon Day in May

Full moon day in May,

Auspicious.

Birth, Enlightenment and death,

A life of completeness.

Auspicious,

Full moon days in May.

Significant journey of Gautama Buddha;

Unfolded, core of Buddhist philosophy of

Significance, in the journey of human kind.

Wisdom has no boundaries;

Mind has no boundaries.

I recollected His teachings:

Universal Truths, Noble Truths and the Noble Eightfold Path.

“It’s the last Super moon of the year.” He said.

“It’s the May’s flower moon, a month of colourful blooms.” She added.

Editing copies

Editing a copy. I am responsible, as a sub-editor/copy editor, for the missing ‘the’, ‘,’ and ‘a’, and the complexity of sentence and structure; to put ‘editing’ in simple words. I am responsible for maintaining the dignity of the writer’s idea, and not be a judge. But, I cannot make a copy mine, the original writer will be lost somewhere. When teaching young adults ‘to edit’, the challenge is to make them realise “be a teacher, correct and suggest. Keep the writer’s style alive.”

Wording ‘Editing’, styled in Haiku form of Poetry.

Presuppositions pause by

Indispensable

My God told me once,

In the silence of my mind and calmness of heart

That, I’m unique and Society pretend not to understand.

I cried; He said laugh, and I laughed my way to life.

Then I looked around, wise and aware,

With a silent mind and calm heart;

Each one of us cried, and laughed;

Their way to indispensable life.
