.dust
what if our love made of particles has just turned back to what it was and has always been pure dust that came and now is taken by the wind dust it was dust it is

.tu chal
Tu khud ki khoj mein nikal — Go on that quest to find yourself Tu kis liye hatash hai — Why have you lost hope? Tu chal tere wajood ki samay ko bhi talash hai — Move forward, even time wants to know you Samay ko bhi talash hai — Time wants to know your identity
Jo tujhse lipti bediyaan samajh na inko vastra tu — Don’t think these shackles are part of your daily wardrobe Ye bediyaan pighaal ke banale inko shastra tu — Turn them into your armour Tu khud ki khoj mein nikal — Go on to discover yourself Tu chal tere wajood ki samay ko bhi talash hai — Even time is waiting for you!
Charitra jab pavitra hai to kyun hai ye dasha teri — When your spirit is pure, why are you so dispirited? Yeh paapiyon ko haq nahi ki lein pareeksha teri — These impure souls have no right to judge you Ki lein pareeksha teri — To test your spirit Tu khud ki khoj mein nikal — Then what is stopping you? Tu kis liye hatash hai — Why have you lost hope?
Jala ke bhasm kar use jo kroorta ka jaal hai — Burn and destroy their trap of persecution Tu aarti ki lau nahi — You are not a chaste Goddess slowly burning away Tu krodh ki mashaal hai — You are a hungry fire searing ahead Tu khud ki khoj mein nikal — Go on and fulfil your dreams Tu kis liye hatash hai — Why have you lost your vigour?
Chunar uda ke dhwaj bana — Let your clothes be a harbinger of your freedom Gagan bhi kapkapayega — Even the sky will shudder seeing it up close Agar teri chunar giri to ek bhukamp aayega — And if it ever falls, the earth will shatter Ek bhukamp aayega — And an earthquake will ensue
Tu khud ki khoj mein nikal — Go on that quest to find yourself Tu kis liye hatash hai — Why have you lost hope? Tu chal tere wajood ki samay ko bhi talash hai — Move forward, even time wants to know you Samay ko bhi talash hai — Time wants to know your identity
(Poem by Amitabh Bachan translated by Ira Swasti)

.the cat
There was a cat walking by the street.
Small, not fragile, looking for something. The cat saw a pet shop and stopped. Looked at people with their beloved animals. Disgusted about it. “Why is it so easy to go out and find what they want? Do they really want to live together? Will this cat hate the kids? Will this dog run away?”, thought the cat. So many thoughts, the cat decided to go away, far far away from that place, those people and animals. “I will never find anyone”, thought the cat. Walking by the street.
While looking for food on the grass, the cat heard a weird noise. Something was getting closer and closer until the cat noticed it. “What is it? A hand? Stop the hand, please, don’t hit me! Get away! Is it… caressing me? Ok… Ok… Thanks, thanks for this…”, thought the cat. Thanks for this, thanks for that, but suddenly the hand stopped and went away leaving the cat behind. The cat was alone again. “Why? Why to come close and go? I don’t want this anymore”, thought the cat. Tired, indeed. Tired of walking by the street.
Days go by and nothing happens. Streets and streets, days and nights, hands and hands… No hands. No food. Nobody.
Sleeping alone, scared, trying to guess what’s coming next. The cat was heartbroken and hungry. Could anyone help? Could anyone stop and stay? Maybe someone could take the cat home. Stay longer. Caress longer. The cat only needed a shelter. The cat was tired of fucking walk by the street.
Well. I am the cat. And who are you? People around who always find someone to be with? Their lovers? Those who will stay for some time and go away in the end? Who are you?
I am the cat, and I’m tired. Tired of always walking by.

Quote
Just that you do the right thing. The rest doesn’t matter. Cold or warm. Tired or well-rested. Despised or honored. Dying…or busy with other assignments. Because dying, too, is one of our assignments in life. There as well: “To do what needs doing.” Look inward. Don’t let the true nature of anything elude you. Before long, all existing things will be transformed, to rise like smoke (assuming all things become one), or be dispersed in fragments…to move from one unselfish act to another with God in mind. Only there, delight and stillness…when jarred, unavoidably, by circumstances, revert at once to yourself, and don’t lose the rhythm more than you can help. You’ll have a better grasp of the harmony if you keep going back to it.
Marcus Aurelius, Meditations (Book 6 -Â translated by Gregory Hayes)

.bengalische tiger
From my years of learnings Nothing was left on the ground I’ve learned to fail and recover I’ve learned to walk with no sound
Who has the longest patience Shall not fear when you declaw What is ahead or behind Has no meaning at all
Each step tells me I’m closer I’m with my mouth open So I can talk to myself Listening to my own breathing
And about my heartbeats I would rather not to listen They’d make me deaf Or show me That I have No hard feelings

Galaxy with a view by Hubble Space Telescope / ESA on Flickr.
Via Flickr: This little-known galaxy, officially named J04542829-6625280, but most often referred to as LEDA 89996, is a classic example of a spiral galaxy. The galaxy is much like our own galaxy, the Milky Way. The disc-shaped galaxy is seen face on, revealing the winding structure of the spiral arms. Dark patches in these spiral arms are in fact dust and gas — the raw materials for new stars. The many young stars that form in these regions make the spiral arms appear bright and bluish. The galaxy sits in a vibrant area of the night sky within the constellation of Dorado (The Swordfish), and appears very close to the Large Magellanic Cloud — one of the satellite galaxies of the Milky Way. The observations were carried out with the high resolution channel of Hubble’s Advanced Camera for Surveys. This instrument has delivered some of the sharpest views of the Universe so far achieved by mankind. This image covers only a tiny patch of sky — about the size of a one cent euro coin held 100 metres away! A version of this image was entered into the Hubble’s Hidden Treasures image processing competition by flickr user c.claude.
