Disrespect is the sum total of how a person rates you, a true reflection of their perception of who you are. So no matter how flimsy or insignificant disrespect is, I will not tolerate it. I respect people regardless of age, gender or status and I expect nothing less in return. Once I perceive any iota of disrespect I will respectfully remove myself from the scene to protect my emotional health and preserve my self esteem

O Moon! You are the fire in my character, you are the water carrying depth and intensity, you are the air in my strength to surrender, you inside my earth grant me patience and devotion.
Allow my tatva to embrace wisdom n be righteous in every situation.
For you have never taught me to fall, hence I shall always rise!

O Moon! The creator of my character, the treasure of my emotions; here I come along with the Supreme Charioteer in form of coiled life force in the spine, to surrender to you and provide me strength and wisdom.

Ego: keeps us from higher knowledge, starts us on the road to higher knowledge. Keeps us from God, leads us back to a path toward God. Keeps us from love...and eventually leads us to surrender.

My God is a poet
singing me home
with their
genderless pronouns,
sticky love like blood
tar the tears in my eyes
the black heart is fixed on,
feeling the sum of the parts,
communion is served
best without -
heavy armour
worn gospels,
the insides torn,
turned out.
