#obstacle
Objectively not connected We infer, of doing While left and going without The pain stayed A resilient person's notice Posted as a sign To ruff us up By reading difficulty On the off ramp This venom collected From stay men I'm moving on Bee leaves crushed in ***** boxes How much will wills take In heretic conformity Nay sayings is execute Over riding that ramp up Two occasion along, long side of a road That that is life sentenced Make no use from it Keep the keeper of lies flowing Until observing us changes Yes observing us is where the change becomes acceptable No obstacle in the math Cash to cash It's not money It's a youman

Call It A Youman, Once
A little far, or a bit close Off the radar, or up the nose Take a step now. Start the journey, set the pace Climb the walls, crack the case Just take a step now Read the book, write the line Pick the flower, even that dime It's just one step, just one chime.

Take a step now
A husk of hope on a window sill With the apricot light bleeding in…. That thing you called a fly had feelings… Had wings that you could never grow now… Their magnificent dreams are suspended in motion… A plane that never has to land… But you - you have to face their luminous breathing - this breathing you thought you could switch off with the notch of your bedside lamp… You must face the apricot blood so bright and butterscotch it burns through you… And as you squash this obstacle for the bin to remove it from your sight; it’s dreams won’t perish - they will scatter out into space carrying their truth to distant planets… But you - you will stay here, stranded… And though you may wish it - spiders won’t side with you over your so-called enemy… They will catch you and ravage you - tear you to pieces, dig their fangs into your dreams and wrap you in freezing shawls of guilt - Until you finally surrender - a clone-roach that never really knew the meaning for its painted circus orders, but; somewhat predictably, followed them regardless…

A husk of hope
Have you ever had one of those moments? You know, like; when before you can begin to get a sentence in, you see the other person's eyes roll. when words of wisdom sound arrogant and cynical. when you know you're being far too critical. when your obnoxiously focused on the most simple wrinkle. when your little issues seem to flip to psychosis and drive you mental. when your own thoughts threaten to send you to a hospital. when tomorrow feels like just another obstacle. Those moments when breathing feels impossible When contemplating turns suicidal And dreaming becomes unbearable That special moment when it sets in that this doesn't feel like living, This feels more like survival No? You've never had that feeling of being out of control, Lost in a downward spiral? Where you swear, This mountain used to be a molehill... ®2024

~•§•~ A Mountain of Molehills ~•§•~
Four years of insanity came and went, Searching for a place to rest our heads, Living through a nightmare that we couldn’t wake up from, Finally achieving our biggest dream, We’ve found a home. You have to give credit, where credit is due. The little things mean the most, In such a big world, A mean world, And now the world feels like ours, Because we have a place to lay our hats.

No matter who you are or what you have been doing at some stage an obstacle appears without choosing. It may be a person, a thing or one of nature's forces that can just set you back on your forward courses. It could also be a sheer lack of available knowledge called ignorance, about what to do next or to manage that activity or certain thing you've been involved in where any progress forward seems unlikely and thin. There may be other factors as well such as motivation, issues of health, self confidence and lack of inspiration which could be affecting or stalling the overall progress of the situation at hand causing some undesirable stress. A breakdown in one's personal or business relationship will likely be a major setback causing a backward flip especially where the parties are involved in a litigation and the legal processes stretch out beyond expectation. ______________________ © 2021 George Krokos

The Stumbling Block
इस सृष्टि में हर व्यक्ति को, आजादी अभिव्यक्ति की, व्यक्ति का निजस्वार्थ फलित हो,नही चाह ये सृष्टि की। जिस नदिया की नौका जाके,नदिया के हीं धार बहे , उस नौका को किधर फ़िक्र कि,कोई ना पतवार रहे? लहरों से लड़ने भिड़ने में , उस नौका का सम्मान नहीं, विजय मार्ग के टल जाने से, मंजिल का अवसान नहीं। जिन्हें चाह है इस जीवन में,स्वर्णिम भोर उजाले  की, उन  राहों पे स्वागत करते,घटा टोप अन्धियारे भी। इन घटाटोप अंधियारों का,संज्ञान अति आवश्यक है, गर तम से मन में घन व्याप्त हो,सारे श्रम निरर्थक है। आड़ी तिरछी सी गलियों में, लुकछिप रहना त्राण नहीं, भय के मन में फल जाने से ,भला लुप्त निज ज्ञान कहीं? इस जीवन में आये हो तो,अरिदल के भी वाण चलेंगे, जिह्वा से अग्नि  की वर्षा , वाणि  से अपमान फलेंगे। आंखों में चिंगारी तो क्या, मन मे उनके विष गरल हो, उनके जैसा ना बन जाना,भाव जगे वो देख सरल हो। वक्त पड़े तो झुक  जाने में, खोता  क्या सम्मान कहीं? निज-ह्रदय प्रेम से रहे आप्त,इससे बेहतर उत्थान नहीं। अजय अमिताभ सुमन

#Selmhem Naise *What would you do   if you knew there was a light source   whose very nature  could illuminate the back sides of molecules and atoms;  as if the source did not come from its point of origin but instead--  permeated all-throughout       from all sides at once..  in all directions--     at the same time;  simultaneously..     yet also perpetually ..and if so-- where could one hide  from the knowing-ability  of light of this nature that chooses to have "known-ability". What if by chance,  in life here on earth we are given the dignity to choose,  through autonomy.. the freedom to hide-- the power to place, even if through illusion; obstacle,   and create shadow from a light, that knows no shadow. What if,  the nature of love  that is also light chooses  through muse, as one of its loving ways, to pierce through obstacle  created by autonomy's oftentimes, need to hide- What if. Wouldn't that then be an act of kindness.. and also a beautiful act of honor  towards autonomy to not force its way in through power but instead.. coax,  through heart-persuasion? ..And that much more a gift  muse would be if one were to know  that at the end  of life would be the complete and full removal  of obstacle       in order  to know      and be fully known? Without loving acts such as muse what would be "knowable"  within us if obstacle were never penetrated,      here in the land of the living? What if.* #

You make me wish I was as hollow as a feather Believe I could ride wind directly to your palms even in a blizzard with enough will and small enough density I would fold limbs over one another to form the shape of a paper airplane A postage stamp on my face for good measure And leap off porch railing to be carried away by spontaneous currents Soulmates do whatever it takes to draw near one another There is no obstacle larger than love

Light As A Feather
The wall was up high No one dared to cross But we both tried I got stucked in the middle Saw only darkness You fiddled A wail from me a scuffle from you I already knew One thought to understand One ought I'd understood I slowly sank I quickly grabbed A rabbit above Lilies, my favorite, at the top Scratches Bruises A brokenheart One hand held me up Struggled for breathe Forced me to go forward Now I look at the sunrise Alongside him onwards.

Limits..?
I know you're hurting, and it seems everything is breaking apart from every angle. You feel your thoughts, and emotions are weighing your mind and heart. You feel the days are dragging you along with it. You want to be alone, you push away everyone around you. I know your contemplating between giving up, you feel there is no light. You feel it's tough, overwhelming and draining. You feel the darkness in you is growing, consuming you cell by cell. and you just don't fight anymore. You just want it to stop. But, I just want you to hang in there a little longer. I want you to hold on to the people who love you even though you feel there aren't any. You are loved. You matter. Even when you feel no one can save you, even when you feel no one can reach you. But there is hope as long as there is life. I want you to breathe. Just have faith. Because there is something greater within you than the pain or obstacle you experience and encounter.

optischism
There is an uncomfortable stillness in my mind When my eyes you bind You've attached them to you As if you tied a knot between us I frantically try to unravel all the tangles I get so mad when wherever I go there you are When I turn a corner When I enter a room Anywhere my thoughts may bloom You are always in the way You prevent me from all the things I want to say My limbs are numbed and I can't move You are to blame for this humiliation How dare you make me feel this way? You no longer deserve this power over me So I revoke your control and take back my will Instead of removing myself by untangling the mess you've made I'll snip the strings that trap me Free at last from that fraying pain I'll leave you to tangle up in those strings like chains of shame

Cycle
Obstacles await you They're all along your path Accept them as challenges Don't glare at them in wrath What are obstacles, really But adventures in disguise? Every adventure comes With the risk of demise Great adventures await you They block and bar your way Will you greet them with a smile? Or will they taunt you day by day? Don't let an obstacle control you Don't sit down and sigh Just call it an adventure And know that you'll get by

Obstacle
The remover of all obstacles, O' Vighnaharta I fold my hands and bow my head, In prayer You've always been my key pilot O' Vinayaka I come to you with all my heart O' Lord of Lords My knowledge comes from thee In abundance, you've shed your blessings Upon me I offer my soul, my lifes all deeds To thy feet Hail O' Datta I welcome you in my life everyday At this Ganesh Utsav I request you to visit me today With your favorite dessert and flavouries I've decorated a plate, Sweet ladoos, modak, paan and durva With this red velvet hibiscus garland and flowers I am standing here waiting at the gate In the temple, inside my soul Where blossoms the energy to carryout my role Dear Father, You never disappoint your devotees In this aeon of cycle, on this earth and beyond You'll always be my protector Coz my soul shares a devotional infinite bond With you, Ganpati Bappa Morya... ©sim

hatred is just that a completely useless and shallow emotion that leads to empty anger and wasted energy hatred is just that its not a tool, its not even useful for DEALING with those of your enemies but it does create enemies hatred behaves much like friction does scientifically, that is, it is the killer of efficiency, it wastes your energy, it creates obstacles, and it stains your life with something so impure and unresponsive that you lose part of what it truly means to be HUMAN hatred is just that a lack of humanity, a variable that is not useful for survival at its most basic level, it kills love and creates the foundation of evil hatred is just that useless, something that wastes energy, creates obstacles, stains your life, takes away your humanity, kills love, endangers your survival, and lays down the foundation of evil- which in turn can make yourself into an obstacle for others who only love. And love conquers all so if you hate what do you think is going to happen?

Distance means nothing when there is a way: Highways, waterways, and airways tying us. If there is road, I will take it. If there is a fence, I will climb over it. Whatever obstacle, I will brave it. Nothing is stopping us, so why hold back? Distance is nothing when we are connected: Communication flowing between us. Mountains of messages over a bad network. Stacks of exchanged pictures via unstable Wi-Fi. Piles of shared links in low connectivity. Nothing is impossible, so why surrender? Distance is nothing when we feel and value: The joy in our hearts over the absence of our bodies. My chest grows florets when you say hi. My heartstrings intertwine when you video call. My mind dances when we watch together. Nothing is lacking, so why forsake? After all, it is distance that unites us. And that is a beautiful oxymoron.
