Dwelling On Dreams #FridayReflections #MondayMusings

It does not do to dwell on dreams and forget to live.” says J K Rowling.



I'm a dreamer and dreaming makes life exciting. Dwelling on dreams is what I do best so I cannot imagine a life without dreams.

In my view, when we dwell on dreams these are sure pointers to our destinies. Dreams are our future realities.

So let's not generalise for we are all different and what's good for one may not be good for another.

When I was young, I thought that each of us have an angel and we were our angel's dream. As long as the angel was dreaming, we were alive

So from my perspective dreaming is living.

What's your view? Do you agree with JK Rowling's perspective on dreams and living?

The Steps Of The Temple #FridayReflections #SoCS

Update - my post was chosen as the featured post. Thank you Write Tribe



picture prompt at the Write Tribe.


Myra stood rivetted at the scene in front of her. There was something vaguely familiar which perplexed her as she had never been here before. Perhaps she had seen a picture somewhere or perhaps her mind was imagining this was familiar as she held the brochure in her hand.  The tour guide was explaining something so Myra turned her attention to him. But that nagging familiar feeling would not leave her.

Mirabai sat on the steps of the temple with tambura (musical instrument) in hand. She had dedicated her life to her beloved Lord Krishna. She would sing devotional songs to Him. People came from near and far to listen. Her poetic verses and the soothing sound of her tambura would put people into a trance like state. There was a feeling of divinity associated with her. The people felt the presence of the Great Spirit when Mirabai sang.

"This was the temple dedicated to Lord Krishna where Mirabai would sing her devotional songs" said the tour guide. "It is said that one day Mirabai walked into the temple and disappeared" he explained. "The people believe that the Lord Himself came to take her. All they found was her tambura at the feet of the idol of Lord Krishna" he continued. 

Myra felt a chill go up her spine. As they turned to leave, Myra heard the faint sound of the tambura. "Did you hear that" she asked her friend. "Not dreaming again are you Myra", her friend teased. Myra was silent, but the sound of the tambura filled her ears. "I need a sign" she prayed silently.

The little boy tugged at her skirt, a peacock feather in hand. He held it out to her. "10 paise" he said quietly. As she handed him the coin, the little boy grinned. "The tambura is blissful is it not?" he whispered.

Sometimes prompts just fire up the imagination. Both prompts did that and got the thoughts flowing.
