The tree
The tree in many cultures
a place of gathering
a sacred, shaded place
A place where people share their goods and words
Questions, answers, statements, thoughts, ideas
Verse and Controverse
Where some agree and others disagree
Where people share their point of view
and viewpoints
A place where words become sacred
And sacred their expressions…
a place of bargain
and barter
Spiced with the emotions of our human condition
Colored with fate, faith, cult, culture,…
Multi verses and universe
And beyond the physical reality of the tree
The psychical and spiritual realm of so many
All around the globe
Banyan, the sacred tree of India
And amongst them
The sacred tree of India
And its delightful fruits
All those who have come
To gather and to share
Enlightments and doubt
And here, a small part of ST friends
Gathered to share
their wisdom, insights, experience
In a spirit of belonging
To the same heavens and earth
In respect of each expressions
I am aware with many others
that the task is beyond measure
May peace and wisdom be with us all
Let us keep up with the good word…
Namaste
Very beautiful … Though A/C halls have taken over but still , the fun and joy of sitting under the Banyan tree under the vast sky ..
Has it’s own beauty .
India will be a great teacher in the future
Since it has always honored and respected its past
And sitting under the sacred tree is part of it
Wonderful Maria!
Thank you Nita
