The fire that kills
A story of lore parallels between two of my ocs
Legend- Kabir Chakrabarti Blue Hopper
(Or, for people with eye strain or color blindness or any other reason you can't see the colors, Blue talks first and then they alternate)
It took my parents from me
It took my sister...
I was 9
I was 10
I was sent to an orphanage
I had to move far away from my hometown because it wasn't safe anymore
I was adopted by a cruel mother who didn't even want me in her home
My parents cared about me less once she was gone
I was nobody...
I'm royalty where I come from...
I learned how to sneak out at a young age...
Coming to school is the only way I get out of the palace...
I have friends back home, but, they all go to Royal Sword...
My only friend growing up was Krishna...
We're not too different, are we?
We're not too similar either....
.... But we're both alive....
... Yeah.... We are...

the beginning — ilyily
film: i love you i love you (au)
synopsis: an overview of the complete first act of i love you i love you (2020), an arthurian inspired tale of free will and rebellion centered around a mischievous queen-to-be and the son of a knight.
word count: 5.2k
featuring: (oc) yuna min, (oc) samir devgan, (oc) king jin, (oc) sir kabir devgan, & more!
warnings: medieval time-y issues, physical violence (idk really)
a/n: hellooooo first piece posted to w0rmdahl :) here is something i wrote in one sitting immediately after finishing tgk <3 hope you enjoy!
samir hadn't always been the personally appointed bodyguard of the king's only child and expected queen to be. it came with work — taxing work the aforementioned princess yuna was never privy to. though, she never was privy to her fathers' ministrations; the old, wrinkled hands that pulled each and every string in the kingdom she called home.
sam and yuna's relationship started at the very beginning of their own lives. the son of the kings' knight was only a few months old when the princess was born, an unexpected pregnancy for the queen after having many unsuccessful attempts in the past who ultimately gave her own livelihood for that of the newborn baby girl. she was named after the mother she'd never meet and subsequently burdened with the shoes too big to fill for her father who still held the fond memories of his late wife. so, as little yuna began to grow too large for the kings' palm and too loud for his thinned patience, he'd wave her off without uttering a word at her thousandth question in the hour — too preoccupied in discussion with sir kabir devgan to hear her ask 'can i play outside?'
5-year-old yuna would hurry out of the room to then giggle to herself as she skipped down the dim and dank halls of the castle and out into the field behind the castle wall, stopping dead in her tracks as soon as she spotted him; a boy sitting patiently in the grass as he plucked dandelions. he had dark curly hair and mud covering his feet all the way to the knee, wide eyes flicking up to hers upon the sudden presence.
"hello." yuna would say with eyes squinting at the blinding the sun rays. she'd ask the unknown boy what his name was — what he was doing — if she could join him. shy young samir would introduce himself humbly to the princess just like his father taught him before inviting her in on his independent time outside in the sun. and here, in the large patch of tall grass just below the northern watchtower, the foundation for a strong and long-lasting friendship was forged by the small hands caked in mud and dirt — a detail that did not please the king once he found out.
yet, much to the annoyance to the 'great king jin', from that point it was only a matter of time before they grew into larger troublemakers. samir and yuna would always somehow find the time in their day to speak with one another at least once. sometimes samir would weasel his way into the castle to join her reading in the library, other times he'd lure her out of the stone walls to pick berries and admire her complexion in the warm light of the outside world. never in his wildest dreams would he ever lead her into danger, though — that was all her own doing. son of a knight, samir had always been instilled with the duty of protecting the royal family at any and all costs, meaning he was the one shirking away when she'd beckon him into certainly-dangerous adventures.
"come on!" yuna would chirp over her shoulder as she crawled with fingers full of the thick grass blades, boots sputtering past her skirt to dig into the dirt. samir's eyes once again surveyed their surroundings in search for anything looming around in wait for their naive arrival, gaze running along the hills and valleys as he nervously called back. "i don't know — what about the king?"
"what about the king?" she repeated back to him without faltering in her pace up the rising ground "you worry too much, sam. now come on or i'll have to tell him you hurt my feelings!"
sam, with the stressed brow that appeared far too often for just a 14-year-old, finally let out an exasperated chuckle at her playful antics and joined her in the tiring journey up this particularly steep hill. he found his way to the top with a groan and couldn't help the smile that donned on his face as she helped pull him up the crest with a hand on his arm, finally realizing just exactly why the princess had been so adamant about this adventure.
"wow..." he uttered as his wide doe eyes surveilled the vast valleys laid before them, the sunlight bathing everything it could touch over the various peaks that left dark shadows in the trees below. from their spot on top of this mound they could see the raging foxtrot river. "how'd you find this?"
yuna would finally turn to look at him, gaze promptly meeting hers the second he noticed. "promise you won't tell?" she always said this to him — always checking in as if to make sure he had her back even though he always answered the same way. at this point he couldn't tell if it was true distrust or consent to further the wedge between him and his loyalty to the king.
"i wouldn't dream of sharing your secrets."
a blush would dust her cheeks as she beamed and tucked a dark strand behind her ear. "one of the cooks said there was gold at the end of the foxtrot river. she said she'd seen it at the top of the hillcrest with one lone tree swaying above her head." now, with her nod gesturing behind him, samir noticed the peculiarly lone tree whose leaves danced with the gentle wind that fluttered through their hair. "i thought maybe we'd check it out."
there was a beat as sam watched the sunlight filter through the leaves, a push and pull tugging on the tender strings of his heart before he internally steeled himself enough to turn back to the exceedingly more precious treasure beside him. "your highness," he spoke hesitantly — carefully "you don't really think there's gold out there to find, do you?"
the restrained frown on her lips could've killed him right then and there if he would succumb. but then again, she still needed to walk back to the castle after this.
"i think there's adventure out there. i think there's something else...something other than this."
sam would always find himself mulling over their conversations on his lone walk home. she had a habit of leaving him things to think on; great adventures to be had or the possibility of different lifetimes. for a princess yuna was so strangely drawn to something other than nobility, so wholly unattached from her royal bloodline that had famously held reign of the largest kingdom in the region for the last century. he'd hoped that maybe she'd come around to the idea of royal duties later, maybe she'd grow big enough to fit into her mothers' shoes, grow into the fully blossomed leader she could be. but, after a particularly stormy night when a heavy knock came to the devgans front door, it grew more apparent how far the princess was willing to go in order to avoid the looming title of queen.
samir found himself braving the storm alongside his father as they covered opposite directions in search for the lost princess. the angry winds whistled through the walls of the kingdom as the cold rain brutally pelted his cheeks in his seat on horseback, fingers numbing while he clutched the reins. sam followed along the foxtrot river calling out her name until his voice grew raspy and took in as much as he could visually whenever the lightning would strike and light up the dark sky for just a second, illuminating the virtually pitch-black wood he ventured into. it wasn't until an exceptionally bright strike allowed him to properly survey the surrounding wood and notice the shivering figure against a tree trunk that samir spotted yuna.
"your highness!"
the familiar albeit hoarse voice cutting through the howling winds brought the princess's face from her soaked knees, arms still wrapped around her legs to pull them close to her chest as her wet eyes found the boy hurrying off his horse and to her side. reins hooked around his arm so it hung near his shoulder, sam cupped her frigid cheeks in his similarly frozen palm, noting how she leaned into his hand.
"why are you out here? the king's worried sick!"
yuna's glossy gaze now made sense as they welled with tears, a deep crease forming between her eyebrows as her typical smile-ridden lips pulled into a pained grimace. "he's going to sell me off, sam." her voice was relatively quieter than his although she still had to project over the harsh white noise, "he said he's made a deal with king pyre of the east. i'll see out tomorrow and then...it's over, samir."
sam rode back to the castle with his own hand on top of hers belted around his waist, fingers intwining as he roped her arm around his shoulders to aid her inside, the rough and calloused skin only leaving her starkly delicate and clean hands once he began to start the fire in the dining hall. he'd spend the rest of the night by her side as he warmed her up (as well as himself, though he'd never admit it) and as they waited on the king or sir devgans arrival samir would wear himself thin reassuring her that everything would turn out all right in the end. everything would be okay because he said so. and when he saw the flash of disbelief in her eyes sam would pull out an old trick up his sleeve he'd never used before — one he'd never thought would see the light of day. until now.
"your highness...if i may be honest...when i count my blessings at night, i count you twice. for as long as i shall live, you will exist as someone loved wholly and entirely. show me your thorns and i will show you my hands, ready to bleed. and if you must die i'll envy even the earth that surrounds your body. for as long as i shall live, you will live within me."
this improper confession left a soft smile on the princess's face tainted by the tear stains running down her cheeks, her gaze scrutinizing his features under a microscope to look for supposed feigning for only a fraction of a second before softening upon finding nothing but pure unadulterated vulnerability and sincerity. from her spot beside him on the floor yuna would scoot closer and loop her arm in his to rest her head on his shoulder, his curls tickling the crown of her head. he was lucky she couldn't hear the pounding heart in his chest over the combination of sounds swirling around them, nor the thick gulp bobbing his adams apple as he swallowed back the fuzzy feeling bubbling under the surface. samir would statue in this spot even after she fell asleep and his back started to ache in the now uncomfortable position, all to lap up the final days he'd get to spend with the celebrated princess.
and then, by the grace of god, the dreadful day came for princess yuna min of elora to meet prince asa enoch of hidora — only for him not to show. samir, who made sure to loom around the princess all day, watched as the sun began to fall in tandem with the mask of patience on the kings' face, the moonlight illuminating the identical furrowed brow both royals shared. king jin went to bed that night uttering curses and arguments to himself as he went to his chambers for the night, heard only by samir who made sure to sneak into yuna's after the coast was clear.
samir nearly got himself caught the moment he stepped into her chambers with the laugh that emitted from his chest at the wide and wild-eyed grin on her face. he knew her well enough to know that, while the king's angry brow had been a result of flakey business deals, yuna's annoyance was merely due to the subjection of sitting still for an entire day. she couldn't have been more thrilled that the prince didn't show. the almost childlike-giddy pair would spend the night talking in circles about what could've happened that day, their theories about why the 'illustrious' prince asa didn't show, and samir would reluctantly have to pry himself out of her room so as to not get caught in the princess's chambers. he went to bed with half the mind that prince asa would arrive the following morning and sweep the king off his feet, maybe even sweep yuna off her feet. but then the following morning arrived with the king up and ready at the top of the day...and then midday...and then night. it wasn't until the fifth night past their scheduled meeting that a letter arrived signed by king pyre, father to asa — well — father to the late asa.
as explained within this letter, prince asa and all of the men accompanying him were tragically killed in a passing storm in the area. he'd sent more men out to find his missing son after not receiving a letter with updates and "found bodies scattered in the woods." so, with a heavy heart and a heavy hand king jin signed his goodbyes to pyre and subsequently whatever business deal it was that was great enough to rid of his one and only child. however, sam and yuna's relationship would not come out unscathed. in fact, this is when things really began to change.
in a meeting set up by the king, samir was offered a 'chance at the opportunity' to personally watch over yuna, though it came with a few conditions. while this would be proving his worth both to his father and the king as a potential knight of elora as well as appointing him in the princess's presence at most (if not all) times, the cons laid out by the king really painted a troubling picture. he would begin this apprenticeship under the guidance of his father, sir kabir, until he was satisfied with his sons' skills. this was the first troubling thing that caught his attention, and then king jin went on.
after completing the physical training samir would then present himself before the king for a fortnight in place of his father as the prestigious 'king's knight.' once and only once the fortnight had been completed, and if king jin was satisfied with samir's performance by the end of it, would he be granted the permission to claim the title of 'the princess of elora's personally appointed guard.'
and then, once he claimed his title, samir would have daily check-ins with the king to reveal all of what she'd spoken about that day. the king said he "wanted every minute detail down to the gory bits." failure to produce a 'satisfying' dialogue or withholding information would be considered as disloyalty to the king and result in the subsequent removal of this role.
"do you understand the guidelines i've laid out before you?"
samir gulped. "yes."
"do you agree meet the challenge according to my terms?"
the starkly smaller boy blinked up at the grizzly man before him, his signet ring twinkling in his big brown eyes. "yes."
samir began training the very next day. his father worked him to the bone from the moment the sun rose until the sky became pink and orange, signaling that it was time to head home and rest up. he went to bed nightly with aching muscles tender to the touch and yet there was still a smile lingering on his lips, his chest humming with who he was doing all this for. her name circled around his mind like the tumbling rocks kicked on his morning walk to the field he trained, and like the dust clouds that flittered through the air when he hit the dirt, her name settled on his tongue in the dim silence of his room. quietly, to no one but himself, samir would whisper the prized name that predated the princess's birth, the name uttered only by those worthy of such intimacies with her.
"yuna."
it took a full 2 months and then some before kabir gave his approval to the king. he told his now broader son the same night over dinner, stoically and subdued as he stated he "was shocked by sam's drive to improve and ability to do so quickly." samir had pride swelling in his chest from his father's words as he then adorned his fathers' role beside the king. he went into his first day optimistic and honestly a little cocky thinking that this so-called duty would be more or less standing around all day. he soon found out that this was in fact not the case, and when he wasn't patrolling the forest for bandits or accompanying the king in a leisurely but protected stroll samir was subjected to the crushing weight of overhearing what was going on in the other kingdoms.
by the end of the first week samir had learned about the looming attack expected from luneberg whose leader believed they owned all of the land west of the kublai river. by the beginning of the second week he had been formally prepared to protect the king and his kingdom whenever the 'lunes' arrived. and by wednesday this fateful day arrived.
snow had begun to fall when the first man in the guard tower called out "lunes!" sam stood by the king with restrained heaving breaths as he waited for instruction, waiting to be told to find yuna or venture out to the drawbridge where he could stop by her room. but before any instructions could be given lune soldiers stormed into the halls from around the back, hidden from the original watchtower that had alerted the kingdom. samir had no choice but to step forth and protect the king; lead him to safety and out of the violent corridors being stained with blood, urged on simply by the drive to locate yuna. only when he was able to finally hand the role of 'kings knight' back to his father did sam have the opportunity to turn back to the castle and brave the horrors occurring inside despite the calls of his name from behind his back. he'd gone specifically against the kings' orders to find yuna, sword drawn as he dodged in and out of every room hidden within the stone walls. he'd slain only a few unfortunate lunes before coming across the field hidden under the northern watchtower; the field they'd claimed as their own all those years ago.
almost hidden in the tall grass filling with snowflakes sat a man fighting to hold down the arms that emerged from the blades, nails digging into his throat to keep him as far away as possible. over the roaring cries of chaos that boomed from each and every corner in the kingdom samir could recognize the yelps and yowls of resistance as belonging to the one and only yuna. he wasted no time in plunging his blade through the back and out the chest of the beast assaulting the princess, using this lead to push him off of her and offer a hand out to the panting girl in the grass. upon finding her footing samir noticed the bruises that littered the soft skin on the side of yuna's face casting purple shadows below her eye and along her cheekbone.
"your highness..." was all he could say through panicked breaths, big brown eyes wet and wide as his delicate blood-stained fingers moved to almost touch the unfamiliar looking flesh. yuna would catch his hand to fully press her cheek into his palm and inadvertently leave crimson fingerprints on the angle of her jaw. this tender reencounter after far too long of not seeing each other would then be rudely interrupted by the heavy footsteps that echoed off the halls toward them, far too loud and fervent for just one man. it sounded like an entire brigade headed their way, and as samir stopped to analyze what he needed to do, there was a firm tug on his hand in her direction.
"come on, they won't catch us in the woods."
samir turned with the panicked shake of his head. "we'll die out there."
she pulled him again. "you'll die if we don't." the thunderous footsteps grew louder as he allowed her to pull him a step closer before then pulling her towards himself by their intwined fingers.
"it's snowing, princess, we'll freeze."
"not if we're together." her answer was immediate.
"i can't protect you from the elements, your highness."
yuna now squeezed his hand tight as the lune brigade loomed just around the corner. "i ask not for refuge in the cold but instead your company and protection from man. can you do that for me, samir?"
the towering boy above would stare back into her pleading eyes sparkling brighter than any of the stars in the sky and find his resolve within them, taking only a second longer to finally make his decision. by the time the luneberg soldiers made their way into the tall grass they only caught a glimpse of the princess's stark blue skirt before she disappeared into the white snow dusting the vast wood. with nothing but footprints in the snow leaving a discernable path to follow for as long as they moved quickly, the lunes chose to take their chances in the storm rather than return home with empty hands, unbeknownst to their fate located within.
samir and yuna would embark on a three day journey before finally returning to elora shivering and covered in filth. king jin sat them in front of the fire and filled their bellies while interrogating them about what happened — where they had gone and what they had been through. yet, neither had much to say, though it seemed obvious by the glint in their eyes that something had occurred within the woods. jin eventually gave up on trying to pry information from them and ushered his daughter to rest with plans to visit the apothecary the following day. yuna said her goodnight to the men before exiting the dining hall, leaving samir alone with the king who turned slowly, his usual furrowed brow forming in the light from the fire.
"you're late, samir. the fortnight was yesterday — training completed yesterday."
"my apologies, your majesty —"
king jin interrupted him. "i mulled over my decision whilst grieving my child. i was certain she'd been lost; to the wood or the snow or the lunes — i was certain i'd lost my only kin. i prepared to meet her again alongside her mother. and yet here you are now — shivering without a cape because you forgot to ask for it back..." jin trailed off with a mouthful of condescension growing the smile that curled his lips, looking like he was almost going to laugh before pulling his eyes from the flames to look at the anxious boy before him.
"you disobeyed direct orders, abandoned your duty, lead my daughter into the elements, and didn't return for three days."
samir's cheeks flamed red with shame as his eyes fought to disconnect from the icy glare produced by the king, yet he remained still, braving his reprimanding. "yes, your majesty..."
"but, on top of it all," the king took a breath and relaxed in his seat "yuna is home. you brought the princess back home safe and warmer than yourself."
his demeanor was suddenly so relaxed and — dare he presume — grateful. samir sat expectantly, listening with his full attention for king jin to get to what he was saying. what he meant.
"you may not have proved worthy as the king's knight, samir, but you have certainly proved yourself worthy as the princess's guard."
samir went home that night with an ear-to-ear grin as he reunited with his father. he laid in bed exhausted and yet entirely too excited for the days that would follow. the ceremony that would take place to grant him his knighthood, the endless hours that would be spent beside the beloved princess, the memories to be created with the beloved princess.
and his giddy anticipation would turn out to be quite a founded reaction; samir's knighting ceremony would be marked by the kiss pressed to his cheek as he said goodnight to the princess, the following days filled with the song of her laugh and the monumental view of her smile, cheeks flushed by the sun as they picked flowers or sat under the old willow tree. he'd appease her wild imagination and accompany her on horseback to pick apples in the very wood that granted him this opportunity only to stop by the kings chambers every night and go over all they'd done that day. he typically omitted some details, of course, but it didn't change the fact that his relationship with the princess was so heavily monitored nor did it ease the ache he felt as a result of the secrecy and inauthenticity feigned towards her. after so long of true friendship and trust built...
the straw that broke the camels back wouldn't come until the fateful days following princess yuna's 19th birthday.
king jin had grown noticeably grayer by this point, reminding both himself and the entire kingdom of his eventual end of reign, leading all of the watchful and anxious eyes to fall to the queen-to-be. he began implementing formal preparations the year prior, personally instructing her on the various different duties rulers have and the rules they abide by, all the while yuna pulled every card in the book to shirk her hereditary duties. samir had watched silently nearby as the kings patience grew thinner and thinner over the span of the year, paling in comparison to the growing resentment the pair harbored for one another until finally it could no longer be contained.
samir had returned from getting a breath of fresh air away from the bickering royals when he heard the kings booming voice echoing off the stone walls. he stopped with his back pressed to the wall to listen.
"you've always wished to be rid of me! father, i have been burdened by the blood on my hands! i stole her life as well as her name and it has tainted me in your eyes since the first breath!" yuna's voice was shaky and pitiful as if she was fighting tears.
"your impurities lie in your heart, not your name! you have been corrupted by your immature imagination ever since you were born!"
"why? because i dream of something more? something other than a lifetime of losing myself for others? because i want to be more than just a woman? because —"
the princess was cut off by a sharp, deafening smack that even made samir flinch from his place against the cool stone. the kings' voice had gone quiet now, only audible due to the unassuming manner in which sam entered.
"because you are just like your mother."
yuna sat on her knees with her hand on her cheek, wet, venomous eyes craned up at the man bent before her even after he noticed samir.
"escort her to her chambers, samir. she needs rest."
he'd do so promptly with a hand placed gingerly on her back, internally seething at the burning red skin on her cheek that lied below the laceration from jin's signet ring, swaying him further into her fantasies even before she told him "i'm leaving tomorrow night. come with me." he originally denied her preposterous idea before appeasing her with the promise of 'thinking about it' as he left her chambers to return to the kings' with a lump in his throat, tongue bitten between his teeth. though, sam wouldn't alert the king until the following evening — the final day of elora.
the following morning began with sam attending to yuna's cheek. his father had taught him plenty of remedies for injuries far less severe than this one, even ways to rid the healed skin of scarring later, the whole time being persuaded into joining her pursuit of a new life. he always managed to find new reasons not to abandon elora, more reasons why it was an awful idea to venture into the unknown in search of something 'better.' but as the sun made its way around the sky it grew more apparent how certain she was about her decision, and by the time she clarified she'd "leave with or without him" samir realized he had to do something.
with great pain he brought himself before the king just as the sun began to set and revealed the awful truth of what yuna was planning; how she said she'd steal a horse and ride as far as she could away from elora until she had to figure something else out. he didn't realize his fatal mistake until the king clarified on when this information had been made apparent.
"last night, your majesty."
"and you didn't think to mention this then?"
"...your maj—"
"what else have you 'forgotten' to mention, samir?"
"n-nothing, your—"
king jin didn't even let him finish before throwing him in the dungeon, alone and sewer-level as temporary punishment for his disloyalty. "i'll deal with you later" the king would say before leaving the boy to his solitude in search for his scheming kin. samir spent this time — only a couple hours, really — imagining the anguish on yuna's face as he was hanged in the square, martyred as the face of treachery in elora. he clutched at his heart when he realized the life that she'd be sentenced to and for the first time openly let the tears run down his face, sobbing pleads of forgiveness to no one but himself in the dark cell.
and then — like a knight in shining armor, a light in the darkness — yuna crept down the dungeon steps, a crowbar in hand as she whispered to call out for him.
"prin—yuna!" he'd call back. samir was already apologizing the second she found him, grabbing for her hands despite her efforts to lodge the crowbar between the bars until she finally took his hand.
"prove your sincerity by leaving with me. tonight. i'll get you out of here and then we'll leave and never return to elora again. can you do that for me, sammy?"
sammy; the greatest accolade to come from their voyage through the snow. well — second greatest — behind that of the privilege to call her informally. yuna.
"yes."
yuna used all her weight to finally bust the cell open, slamming herself into it until the rusted metal succumbed to the force. sam would pull her into a tight embrace against his chest before the fated duo would run hand in hand out of the kingdom and onto the path of a new life; one with only one constant in the form of the others' company.

PARABOLA published its first issue in January 1976. Since then we have explored with you the great questions of human existence, drawing on the world’s spiritual and cultural traditions in nearly 175 issues.
Writers, thinkers, and luminaries as diverse as Robert Aitken, Ibn' al-Arabi, Sri Aurobindo, Wendell Berry, Annie Bessant, Black Elk, Paul Bowles, Peter Brook, Joseph Campbell, Henry Corbin, HH the Dalai Lama, Meister Ekhart, Mircea Eliade, Georg Feuerstein, G.I. Gurdjieff, Kabir Helminski, Franz Kafka, Jiddu Krishnamurti, Ursula K. Le Guin, Martin Lings, John Daido Loori, Thomas Merton, Mary Oliver, Brother David Steindl-Rast, Gertrude Stein, Rabbi Adin Steinsaltz, P.L. Travers, and Ken Wilber have all graced the pages of PARABOLA.
Dean Koontz, Alan Arkin, Mark Nepo, Bhikkhu Bodhi, Llewellyn Vaughan-Lee, Cynthia Bourgeault, and Adyashanti are among recent contributors.
Currently only one quarter of our back-issue library has been digitized. Many classic issues such as Attention, Prayer and Meditation, Liberation, The Heart and others are in danger of going out of print and disappearing.
PARABOLA is a non-profit, independent, reader-supported publication. We have no endowment. No organization sponsors us. In order to publish each issue, we depend directly upon the generosity of readers like you. Now we urgently need your help to pay for costs to professionally digitize and curate our 43-year archive.
Please consider making a meaningful (and tax-deductible) donation to help us digitally protect and secure our rich archive of material and ensure its accessibility well into the future.
To give your support, please visit our campaign here.

ebss 31.07.19 lb
exactly the 'one step forward, two steps backwards' nonsense i was talking about. these two are vowing to their moms that they'll never ever make peace with/trust the other.
This Fucker™ (proud inheritor of the title from his esteemed father) is listening to all of kabir's talk about winning pooja's trust and then betraying her. for sure he's going to exploit it. for sure.
pls pooja, stay strong to your word and don't trust a single man around you. they're all terrible and i need you to win.
pooja is bewildered by rani's bakchodi. the rest of us, are not. ab toh aadat si hai...........
fashion show ki baat bhi sun li. he's gonna mess it up. ughhhhhhhhhh. god, someone please murder this asshole, he's literally the worst.
LO PHIR BAHEK GAYE YEH BEWAKOOF WORKERS. INKA TOH ROZ KA HAI. BLOODY........
lo yeh bhi aa gaya. ab aayega mazaa.
i’m 97% sure pooja didn’t spread the video.... but at least kabir knows that she knows about it. let's see how he handles it from here.
lmao dude more chemistry here than anywhere else. i truly ship ranBir. #asliTashan #asliChemistry
oh ho aaj se shrenu ki body double dikhegi, i guess till friday?
also oufff dhruv is still watching from behind the jhaadiyaan? or is it someone else?
"omg roop ki raani!"
"you bloody choron ka raja!"
lol this idiot.
there's a saying in malayalam ("chundanga koduthu vazhudenenga medikkuva"), which translates to giving a turkey-berry to get an eggplant in return - i.e. picking a fight even though you know you're the weaker one and receiving the beating of a lifetime. that's what this fool does every single time. and i enjoy it so.
mostly because of this face.
blah blah blah stalker following pooja.
since shrenu's not here anymore i guess i'll just have to stare at zain's chest to keep myself engaged in pointless scenes like these. mmmmmhmmm.
blah blah blah more stalker bs.
thoda aur zipper neeche karle and flash that chest??? exploit the crush she has on you, maybe she'll call pooja instead of the driver!
woooooooop. pooja's been missing for the last three hours.
"i don't like her, i don't trust her, i don't care about her. i just wanna stab her in the back and make her suffer!"
*spends like, 6 continuous hours obsessing about her whereabouts*
=
rani v/s chachi. don't care, fwding.
"yeh poora mittal parivaar pagal ho gaya hai kya?"
yeh bhi koi poochne ki baat hai, pagal toh iss show mein sab paidaaishi hain.
kabir is like i'm not even gonna get into whatever the fuck gul chachi is khilaofying around here.........
rani honestly, why are you such a festering asshole?
"tumhari di ki tension nahi hai mujhe...." uh huh. sure boy, sounds legit. losing a whole day's wages to sit outside her office, and now coming to her house to find out if she's back, when you could have easily found out via a phone call or two.
also, i can't tell at this point if kabir cares for pooja more than appropriate, or rani cares too less. maybe both.
"akal lagaya karo. idiot." *snort*
a list of ppl who care for pooja's general well-being in descending order:
amma
kabir
driver
rani
great, jai's expanded his notes waala business to an exam cheating service.
as usual, sonali, the only voice of reason is literally shut up. y'all mittal men are all fucking unhinged.
totally not suspicious scene that kabir bhaiyya is walking into.
dhruv is missing. hallelujah. may it be permanent.
shit. spoke too soon.
byomkesh is on the case.
tu na, chota bhai hai...... baap banne ki koshish kyun karta hai? aur banna hi hai, toh saaf tarah se thikaane lagaa na. baat ko na idhar ki na udhar ki kyun chodta hai?
byomkesh is asking khoon tera hai ki kisi aur ka. ofc it’s someone else's.... look at him. changa-bhala toh khada hai.
fucking hell.
jhoot-moot ke dost have come to give credence to his story.
kabir ka daily sar pe haath rakhne ka aur dhruv ki taraf se maafi maangne ka time.
based on what exactly are you promising he'll never do it again, btw??? like you have 0.003% control over This Fucker™.
kabir, aaj toh qissa khatam hi kar de iska. manhoos, dharti pe bhoj kahinka.

This Coppersmith barbet's family has been living on a tree which is my 'Sit Spot' where I daily spend time connect, observe and study life. cultivate present-moment awareness. The barbets have become a part of my life during this lockdown. I have enjoyed observing them fly in and out fetching berries & fruit while I watch them from below in my favourite Shavasana. The pictures are taken by my son Kabir who frequently visits with his camera and clicks pictures of birds and insects. #sitspot #birdwatching #coppersmithbarbet #birding #covid19 #naturephotograpy #forestbathing #foresttherapy #forestbathingguide #shinrinyoku #mindset #mindfullnessmoment #nest #bird #wellnesswednesday https://www.instagram.com/p/CCxi03EhWN3/?igshid=gh99ns7law5d

"Stupid debate" leaves loads of Blues fans outraged - "Embarrassing", "Foolish", "Disrespectful"
There is no doubting that Virgil van Dijk is one of the best – if not the best – defenders in the world right now.
The Netherlands international has been a rock at the heart of Liverpool’s defence since joining the club from Southampton last year for £75m.
With him in the team, the Reds conceded just 22 goals last term, the lowest in the Premier League. Such were the 28-year-old’s performances, he was even voted the Best Player of last year’s Champions League, beating the likes of Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo to the award.
Who has been the most improved player in the EPL this season? Find out in the video below…
However, he surely has some way to go before being compared to John Terry, which is what Goal have done on their Twitter page by asking their followers to choose who is the better defender.
The former Chelsea captain won five Premier League titles and is widely regarded as one of the best defenders of the Premier League era. He was also part of the best defence in the division’s history, with the Blues conceding just 15 goals during the 2004/05 campaign.
The Stamford Bridge’s outfit’s supporters have been left outraged by the tweet, and they have taken to the social media platform to share their thoughts. You can see some of the best comments from the social media platform below.
The disrespect is really becoming unbearable ?
— Elorm ?? (@CFCElorm) October 17, 2019
If you’re among those comparing Van Dijk to JT, you need some sense sic
— arasi kolapo kabir (@kollysenior) October 17, 2019
VVD shouldn’t even be in the conversation, Terry is the best defender the Premier League and Chelsea have ever had
— Craig Mosti (@CraigJamesMosti) October 17, 2019
This a very disrespectful question ??
— AYAJ (@ay_aj99) October 17, 2019
You comparing someone putting his life on the line to avoid a shot getting past him to someone running away from getting dribbled…think again. Captain, Leader, Legend.
— Seggy Berry (@seggy_tiger) October 17, 2019
Stupid debate, terry is by far the greatest defender of all time in the premier league. Won absolutely everything, champions league, 5 premier leagues, fa cups and league cups!!!! End off, it’s not even a debate, its embarrassing!!!!
— Keith Graham CFC (@KeithGrahamCFC) October 17, 2019
Foolish to compare a legend to an emerging defender – VVD is very good but needs more titles before he can be compared any of the greats , let alone JT Again , Just foolish.

If Kabir Singh offered us an example of a toxic mentality then Marudhar Express provides the other extreme. It introduces us to an introverted soul who suffers from the worst kind of low self-esteem. Our Kanpur based hero Marudhar (Kunaal Roy Kapur) is convinced he's lowliest of the low. He wallows in serious self-pity, always runs himself down and feels he's good for nothing. Such is his negativity that he thinks he'll never better his lot in life and will always be a constant source of embarrassment for everyone. He doesn't have any girlfriend, nor does he ever dream of having one and is constantly shy around girls. The two friends he has are childhood buddies who are instinctively aware that he's better than the image he projects and wants him to snap out of it. His father (Rajesh Sharma), on the other hand, is a widower who hasn't lost his zest for life. He's a womaniser and a fan of porn films. The father wants the son hitched at the earliest and at the father's behest, he goes to Lucknow to meet the daughter of a family friend in Lucknow. The girl, Chitra (Tara Alisha Berry) is a street smart, mature girl, who wants to open her own beauty parlour one day. She's smitten by his naivete and says yes to the marriage. Problems start soon after. He isn't able to perform due to performance pressure. Worse, he gets consumed by jealousy upon meeting his wife's old flame on his honeymoon. Thinking that he's not meant for marriage, he decides to part ways with his wife. However, a chance meeting with an old couple convinces him to give another try to his relationship. The film has its heart in the right place but falters at many fronts during the execution. A ladies sangeet song is shot like a cabaret, the editing is slipshod and so is the sound design. The screenplay doesn't do justice to the basic premise of the film. The narrative is loud and over-the-top whereas it should have been toned down, a la Basu Chatterjee films. Basu's Chhoti Si Baat, which came out in 1976, too dealt with a mouse becoming a man. That sort of sensitivity is missing here. Kunaal Roy Kapur gives his all to his character, trying to keep things afloat through sheer will power. His dedication is to be appreciated. Tara Alisha Berry too gives him ample support and tries hard to make her character look convincing. Rajesh Sharma has hammed perhaps for the first time in his career in this film. That's strange indeed. The film had the potential to be a bitter-sweet comedy about relationships but in its present form, remains a classic case of opportunity gone waste. from filmfares https://ift.tt/326SpoC

Wombwell Rainbow Interviews
I am honoured and privileged that the following writers local, national and international have agreed to be interviewed by me. I gave the writers two options: an emailed list of questions or a more fluid interview via messenger. The usual ground is covered about motivation, daily routines and work ethic, but some surprises too. Some of these poets you may know, others may be new to you. I hope you enjoy the experience as much as I do.
Suzy Conway,
fell for poetry when she was introduced to Shakespeare by a nun exhibiting uncharacteristic passion for it. Her poems were published in medical journals and newspapers during her career, and once retired, she devoted more time to writing. A former medical librarian, originally from Minnesota, she finished her career at Countway Library in Boston, only to restart it in Nepal in 2002, creating a medical library for Kathmandu University. She resided in Nepal for four years.
In Donegal, Ireland, where she lived in 2006, horses manifested before her in uncanny ways as she rode her bike hither and yon. Back in the states, Secret Halo trotted into her life, and how things shifted into the most demanding and mystical schoolroom is a poem yet to be penned. Rilke wrote: The future enters into you long before you know it. In retrospect, it s right before your eyes.
Her brother once told her that she looked like her horse, which thrilled her. Now she endeavors to be like her horse: awake, aware, in the present moment. Her book of haiku, Lights Along the Road, debuted in Kathmandu in 2005, co-authored with Janak Sapkota. She lives, rides, and writes in Corvallis, Oregon.
The Interview
1. What inspired me to write poetry?
As a sensitive child my questions were these: Who am I? What am I doing here? Surely there’s got to be more. I got a hint to the answers when I learned to print my letters. If I was holding a pencil stringing words across a page wellbeing flooded my soul. It was the beginning of purpose, I got an inkling of how I would be able to stay, how I would cope.
I discovered the library as a young girl and found gold. I eventually became a medical librarian to quench a desire to serve, read, learn and publish. I worked in buildings that held the archives of famous writers, and minds. Libraries were my true north, my cave. I didn’t need a map to navigate them.
I was a seeker. In high school poetry was where I found beauty and truth. Poetry gave me some of the first bricks to a philosophical foundation of life. I loved school, but it lacked what I was specifically after which was a viable explanation to what I was truly doing on earth. Raised Catholic gave me the holy, sacred rituals to soothe myself but organized religion per se never got me to the crux. India got me closer to it. India ripped layers off and left me close to naked in the sense of shedding the false self. Surviving India was a breakthrough of massive proportions, I could almost hear the crash the masks made when they hit the ground. India will do that to you. Life shifted after that. In good ways.
When I read The Merchant of Venice, “The quality of mercy is not strained, it droppeth like the gentle rain from heaven upon the place beneath. It is twice blest…” I was on to something. I can remember the moment I read those lines, they gave me ballast to keep my head above water. I grasped poetry as one would grasp a life raft. A truth from the universe. A young woman’s philosophy began to form.
2. Who introduced you to poetry?
I was introduced to poetry by a nun in high school, who unlike most nuns from that era, showed a passion for what she was teaching. She was the Shakespeare teacher. Her enthusiasm was contagious. The poetry teachers in college bored the life out of me, except for one, the Chaucer teacher who I’ll never forget. In my mid-20s I began to read poetry with a vengeance. None of my family or circle of friends were into poetry, so it was a lone journey, but I bought a lot of poetry books, and I haunted a lot of bookstores.
3. How aware were you of the dominating presence of older poets?
Such a good question. I was aware of who was being taught in school, but other than that, I wasn’t aware at all, and in the scheme of things what was being taught in school was limited. I was quite sheltered, quite naive. It wasn’t until I was in my 30s, 40s that I sought out those poets. I was working in libraries with poetry at my fingertips, so it was easy to gain momentum. I craved poetry that touched on the liminal, the ineffable, the mystical.
My therapist, who was a Renaissance man, turned me on to Rilke. I carried his books around the world with me for decades. His poetry was an elixir for my soul, and once I discovered Rumi, Hafiz, Kabir, the Japanese haiku masters, (especially Ryokan) and other Zen poets, I was air born. In the old days, Howard Moss, poetry editor of The New Yorker, served up heaps of good poetry.
I wanted to be moved at the heart and soul level, wanted to be seismically knocked off my feet.
I had the great fortune to meet and become friends with Tess Gallagher. She influenced me greatly and still does. Ray Carver’s poetry and short stories brought me home and led me to her. I owe so much to Tess; her straight talk and generosity is engraved in my heart.
4. My daily writing routine.
To be open and prepared to meet the mysterious, I begin every day with meditation followed by a big pot of French press coffee. I get ideas, inspiration, whispers, points of view and guidance when I’m silent, and quiet, and still. Mostly out in the woods and forests.
I write and correct and edit and write and correct. I do this until I’ve aged the poem. Sometimes riding my horse or my bike, ideas fall into my head. Sometimes fixes come in. Sometimes entire poems spurt out of my pen with no effort.
I’m a morning person, I write when my mind is free of pesky thoughts, but if I’m on a roll, I’ll be up all hours. It depends on where my soul takes me.
5. What motivates me to write?
The need to be in touch with who I really am. That vast spirit tucked into my small physical form. I want to express that aspect of my identity, you know, the one that isn’t criticizing or judging or planning the future and raking over the past. The one who is the over soul, the one who is the observer, the one who is trying to be heard. I want truth. From another realm. And writing puts me in touch with that.
Janak Sapkota is a poet I met when I lived in Nepal who motivates me every day. His belief in me, his support is a kindness in my life. He and I published a book of haiku called Lights Along the Road when I was living in Kathmandu from 2002 – 2006. He is a gifted young poet, a beautiful soul and a unique voice. To find someone who believes in you when you don’t believe in yourself is vital to one’s ability to keep on writing.
6. Work Ethic
I was brought up Irish Catholic in a family where hard work, responsibility, good grades, and sticking with it were prized. On top of that I’m a classic Virgo which ratchets the intensity up considerably. Now that I’m older and retired and have had lots of therapy, (smile) I’ve morphed into a new sun sign. This one lets me relax more, trust more, and stay in balance, in harmony. I’ve freed myself to run amok in the best sense; to be wide open to whatever happens. To jump out of planes, to ride my horse in a pitch-dark forest, to know what the next step is and take it afraid or not.
My work ethic is more in balance because my worth doesn’t stem from it anymore.
7. Writers when I was young who influence me today.
What influences me from that time in school more than actual poets was experiencing the beauty of words. Rhyme captivated me. Iambic pentameter soothed me. A turn of a phrase calmed me. Poe captured my imagination with his dark longing, and desperation. Even though the feel of his poems was so disturbing, the beauty of them consoled me. More than anything, that’s what I took from the poets of yore. How language could soothe the broken heart, lift it even when it remained broken, transform something like loneliness into a beautiful work of art.
8. Writers I admire today and why
Wendell Berry Robert Bly Ray Carver Tess Gallagher Jane Hirschfield Jon Loomis Tom Lux Sharon Olds Antonio Porchia Rainer Maria Rilke Rumi, Hafiz, Kabir, Lao Tzu, Li Po, Ryokan Antoine de St. Exupery Edna St. Vincent Millay William Stafford Wislawa Szymborska Sara Teasdale
Because they replace what I know with something I don’t.
9. Why Do I write
I am visual, and I was born with a fountain pen in my hand. Ink to paper is an orgasmic profound thing, and I’m sure in past lives I was a scribe or an illustrator or a writer or maybe just a fountain pen! I write to be in touch with my soul’s yearning to create and evolve.
10. How do you become a writer?
You become a writer by writing. Daily, often and frequently. Read. Take notes. Be aware. Observe. Understand as best you can what moves you. We are not our bodies, thoughts and emotions. We are spiritual beings here to wake up to that. Wake up to the areas within yourself that need healing, the parts that need the light. Write about what makes you weep.
11. Writing projects at the moment
Since publishing my book of poetry Bringing In Horses, and two other books I wrote with my publisher Cheryl McClean, my interests shifted to short stories that have a synchronous point, the kind of stories I hanker to read, ones that illustrate a larger force at work. I trust that shift of focus after I put my life’s blood into Bringing In Horses. Writing the book took some courage and it put a lot to rest.
I help a friend, a German journalist, mountain climber and translator on occasion, and when invited speak at creative writing classes held in and around where I live. There is always enough to keep my soul engaged with its purpose, with what enlivens it. I have writing projects just for myself. I finish them and then investigate what to do with them. Answers always come.
I also collaborate with my older brother who acts as my muse. That close relationship inspires many creative writing projects and some of them have manifested as books. He is one of my strongest supporters.
Thank you so much for this beautiful opportunity to delve into these questions. I’ve never pondered them to this degree before, and by doing so have learned a lot about myself. My gratitude to you Paul, and to everyone who contributes to your site, everyone who is doused to the gills with poetry.

How to Get Back Your Calm—Even When Life Is a Disaster
Meditation teacher Sally Kempton shares her tools for finding peace in life's most overwhelming moments
Sensing Presence in the natural world can give you a feeling of refuge and restore your soul.
When my students tell me they feel frazzled or overwhelmed, I often ask, “Is there a place you go to in order to take refuge? A safe space to sort yourself out?” Some people look at me blankly. Occasionally, one bursts into tears. Others admit that their antidote to stress is turning on the TV, having a few glasses of wine, or tearing into a bag of chips. Sometimes, even trying to find a more creative way to relax can feel like one more demand.
I was considering this as I listened to Dennis, a 40-year-old who is trying to run a consulting business and feels uncertain about his future. What grounds him, he says, is spending time in the woods on a Saturday afternoon. He’ll sit on a fallen log or beside a creek and let his mind quiet down, noticing a beetle crawling up a tree or the texture of the moss on the rocks beside him. After an hour in the forest, his senses open to the natural energy around him. It’s that energy, he says, that keeps him going.
Dennis has found a way to take refuge. For him, it’s nature. For me, it’s meditation. When everything starts to feel like too much, I take the frazzled feeling as a signal that I need to sit down, close my eyes, and let my attention sink into my heart. Almost always, I come out feeling more centered and resourceful. Sometimes when I open my eyes, I find that a problem doesn’t even look like a problem anymore. There have been many times when resting my attention in my heart for five minutes has turned a bad day into a good one—a feeling of being stuck into a creative breakthrough.
Everyone needs to know how to take refuge. No matter how much you love your life, no matter how strong or motivated you may be, you will be overwhelmed at times. Maybe you’ll have to pick yourself up after a breakup, or maybe you’ll lose your job. You may simply have a hard week. At such moments, if you don’t have a habit of taking refuge, life will begin to feel like an endless treadmill. You’ll rely on the same old coping mechanisms, follow the same grooves, wondering why you don’t feel inspired or even, sometimes, able to cope. Consciously choosing to take refuge—and having a reliable way to do it—can help you find new reserves of strength, stamina, and inspiration.

Find Your Calm by "Taking Shelter"
The word refuge means place of shelter. But I’m not talking here about the basic physical shelter that every human being needs and deserves. I’m talking about the kind of shelter that lets you get in touch with your deepest Self, especially at times when you feel lost or overwhelmed.
What defines a refuge? First, it should help your mind calm down. Second, it should help you feel safe, even protected. On a normal day, it helps you stay connected to your center, to peace, or to the feeling that other human beings share your concerns. On a bad day, your place of refuge can restore your soul. A true space of refuge can also function as a kind of cocoon, where you retreat to do the sort of self-examination that leads to inner change. Just as lying in Savasana (Corpse Pose) can help you assimilate an hour of asana practice, retreating to your place of refuge can help you digest your life experiences. It can give you both rest and the wherewithal to act from strength.
Your refuge place can be a physical location—a meditation corner, a tree in your backyard, or even your bathtub. Or, another person can be a source of refuge—a friend, a relative, a partner you can call when you’re down, or a mentor whose advice you trust intuitively. Likewise, a repetitive activity, such as walking or biking, can offer an entry point into the space of refuge. And so, of course, does asana practice. That deep sigh—the “Ahhh” you often hear in yoga class as one person after another slips into their first asana of the day—that’s the sound of people finding refuge. The yogic sages warn, however, that a place, a person, or an activity will give you real refuge only when it connects you to something that feels timeless and eternal. To Spirit. To Soul. To the inner Self.
The great yogic model for unfailing refuge is the one Lord Krishna offers his disciple Arjuna in one of India’s most beloved texts, the Bhagavad Gita. In this epic tale, Krishna is Arjuna’s guru and charioteer; he also represents the embodied form of Spirit itself. On the eve of a great battle, the warrior Arjuna faces off against relatives and friends in a fight for the soul of his kingdom. Conflicted about whether it is right to fight, he turns to Krishna for advice. Krishna coaches him in the principles of yoga in action. But Krishna’s final teaching is this: “Take refuge in me.” He tells Arjuna that taking refuge will free him from fear of wrongdoing.
This dialogue between Krishna and Arjuna represents the eternal conversation between our individual self and our higher Self, sometimes called the inner Source or inner Spirit. The mythic character of Krishna embodies the inner wisdom of Spirit, the underlying creative Presence that lies at the heart of reality. At one point in the Gita, Krishna says, “I am the Self hidden in the heart.” He’s referring to one of the deepest pieces of wisdom in the yoga tradition: the teaching that in our own bodies, in the subtle center called the heart, we can tune in to our true Self, the part of us that isn’t confused about what life is all about. That Presence is the “me” Krishna is referring to and the great source of true refuge.
The mystic poet Kabir speaks of this Presence as “the breath inside the breath.” His point is that it’s always closer than you think. Once you’ve learned how to tune in to Presence, you have a refuge that you can turn to at any time, even in the middle of a stressful business meeting or an argument with your spouse. One way to tune in to Presence right now is to focus on the space in and around your body. Inhale and exhale, feeling that. With the inhalation, you breathe that space in through your pores; as you exhale, you breathe it out. After a while, you should become aware of a subtle, delicate energy that is both inside your body and around it. According to the yoga tradition, this is Presence—and it is close to you at all times.

2 Ways to Tap Into Presence
Once you recognize what being in Presence feels like, you’ll probably realize that it’s always been implicated in your moments of peace and safety. For example, if you think about times when you’ve felt deep refuge in your yoga practice, you may recognize that those were times when you managed to tap into the sense of Presence—the living energy within your body and breath. You may also realize that the feeling of comfort when you’re with certain friends, or when you open the door to your beloved, is not just the effect of a neurochemical rush. It comes from being connected to the living energy of Presence that runs through the two of you. One of the timeless ways people experience the refuge of unconditional Presence is through the natural world.
The great eco-philosopher Thomas Berry points out that “the mountains and rivers and all living things, the sky and its sun and moon and clouds, all constitute a healing, sustaining, sacred presence for humans, which they need as much for their psychic integrity as for their physical nourishment.” And though the most powerful experiences of Presence in nature often happen in wilderness, you can also find them in your backyard, a suburban woodlet, or a park.
When I lived in New York City, during moments of stress I’d sometimes find myself gazing out my window at an Ailanthus tree, sprouted in a little patch of dirt carved out of the sidewalk. I didn’t understand why I felt so soothed by that little tree, but I’ve since come to realize that in a highly urban environment, it offered me a doorway into that healing, sacred Presence that Berry talks about. Here are two approaches to taking refuge.

Feeling frazzled? Try cultivating calm outside.
Cultivate a Sense of Presence in Nature
The next time you go for a walk in the woods, or even in your own front yard, stand still and take a few deep breaths. Then, rest your attention in your heart. Imagine for a few moments that a benign Presence regards you through the trees, and the plants, and even the earth. Instead of feeling as if you are the observer—the one who is seeing the sky and the trees—shift your perspective and sense that the sky and the trees are seeing you. Soon, you may begin to tune in to the subtle feeling that a palpable Presence is in the natural world and that its nature is benign. Even a moment of sensing Presence in the natural world can give you the feeling of refuge, the recognition of how much natural love is around you.
Meditating is a great way to tap into Presence at home.
Develop a Presence at Home
Set up an altar in your house that you dedicate to Presence. It doesn’t have to be elaborate; you can start by choosing a small table—or covering a box with a cloth—and placing fresh flowers or a plant on it to create a connection with the natural world and its healing beauty. If possible, set up a candle or a lamp to represent the light of consciousness at the heart of your own being. You may arrange some objects on your altar that have personal significance for you—a special box, perhaps, or a crystal or feather. If it makes sense to you, place a picture of a deity or a person who embodies sacredness for you (or a picture of a sacred site or a natural setting) there. Make your altar inviting and comfortable, and place a seat there for yourself. Then, make a point of visiting it at least once a day. Meditate there, or write in your journal. Make sure that everything you do at your altar has a sense of sacredness about it. In time, you may discover that you can bring a problem to your altar, sit with it for a while, and receive the wisdom arising from within. You could also show up at the altar in a state of agitation and then feel the collected Presence subtly soothing you. In other words, you will have created a place of refuge for yourself.

I suggest doing one of these practices at least once or twice a week, adapting it to your own understanding of sacred Presence. Then, make a point of tuning in to Presence a couple of times a day. You may want to say a simple prayer and ask to be sustained by Presence as you do your asana practice, as you meditate, or even while you’re at work. And notice that as you get accustomed to taking refuge in Presence, you feel more grounded and at ease in the world. Soon, your responsibilities may feel less burdensome. And perhaps, in a very natural way, you’ll begin to notice yourself giving refuge to others—not by giving them advice, but by embodying the Presence that in itself can give comfort, support, and a feeling of being at home in a beautiful world.
