Forgive #writebravely #celebratewritetribe #suzysilation

‘I’m Writing Bravely for the Write Tribe Festival of Words – March 2019’

For this round I am challenging myself to writing acrostic poems.

Day 1 prompt is Forgive.


F - Finding the strength to let go and move on

O - Overcoming the hurt caused by the action

R - Reflecting and wallowing no more in that moment

G - Going forward with no thoughts of revenge or hatred

 I - Intelligent reaction to unintelligent behaviour or action

V - Victim no more

E - Ego tamed, anger diffused, calmness prevails and no longer affected by the event.

In my view it is impossible to not feel anger, grief, sadness, frustration and live in a constant state of joy, bliss, peace, forgiveness etc.

But forgiveness does not mean we condone someone's actions it just means it no longer affects us in a way that keeps us stuck in that moment.

“As I walked out the door toward the gate that would lead to my freedom, I knew if I didn't leave my bitterness and hatred behind, I'd still be in prison.”  

― Nelson Mandela

Love is in the air - eXit

Day 24 A to Z Challenge 2015 - eXit 

Ravana knew not who he faced

He laughed at the man with the bow

But death was ready to him embrace

At Rama's command from below

At last the demon fell to his death

As arrows pierced his body

Rama gave him due respect

Divine love even for the enemy

Ravana could not see the divinity in Rama and thought himself invincible. Rama gave Ravana many chances to surrender Sita.

Ravana was highly knowledgeable and intelligent but lost his way and used his knowledge and intelligence in the wrong way.  Rama gave Ravana many chances to surrender Sita and tried to get him back on track several times and only destroyed him when the demon stubbornly refused.

It was only at the point of death that Ravana realised that he faced Lord Vishnu in the form of Rama. As he fell he looked at Rama and called out his name. The ever forgiving Rama gave the demon due respect. Divine love shining through for all.

Lord Rama's name is bliss. It brings us peace. He loves us unconditionally and forgives us if we truly repent our misdeeds, seek forgiveness and takes steps to redeem.

So how will Rama and Sita react when they face each other again? Brought by the letter Y.

Love is in the air. May you always feel that Divine love. May His name always bring you peace. May you use your knowledge wisely.

The Ramayana is a historical chronicle of events during the life of Lord Rama in an ancient time in a land called Bharatvarsh a part of which is now modern day India. 

This year's theme was given to me through meditation. But more than just a theme I was also asked to write this from the perspective of Divine love and not just a recounting of the events as they took place. Hence the essence of my posts is "Love is in the air".

The individual theme and tone of my verses are also given to me. And I try to convey what Spirit wants to say through my poetry and prose. In essence, I only transcribe what is given to me, the author of these posts is my soul, the Universe, God and Goddess.

Love is in the Air - War

Day 23 A to Z Challenge 2015 - War

Hanuman watches silently

While Ravana threatens Sita

Gives her Rama's ring obediently

When the demon angrily leaves her

The demons set alight his tail

He sets the city on fire

Hanuman's mission never will fail

For Rama he'll never tire

Divinty joining forces

What chance did Ravana have

Both sides suffered many losses

Rama's heart for both was sad

Rama asked Ravana to surrender Sita

Forgiveness even for his foe

But Ravana's pride was off the meter

He was sure he would win and show.

After many days of searching, Hanuman finally finds Sita in the Ashok Vatika in the island of Lanka and assures Sita that Rama would soon arrive to free her. Hanuman is disturbed to find Sita in a very sad state and Ravana threatening her.

He allows Ravana's men to capture him so he may have an audience with Ravana and convey Rama's message. Hanuman asks Ravana to release Sita and surrender to Rama, but the arrogant Ravana laughs at Hanuman and asks his men to set his tail on fire. Hanuman ceases the opportunity and sets the city alight as a warning to Ravana. But Ravana does not heed that warning.

Rama eventually reaches Lanka and tries again to reason with Ravana via another messenger Angad but Ravana was so sure that he would kill Rama that he challenges Rama to fight for Sita. The war breaks out and there are many losses on both sides. Rama feels sadness for all who die or are hurt, and all through the war he tries to reason with Ravana.

All through our lives, we get many chances to redeem ourselves. But so often we think that our actions are correct and we don't try to see the other's point of view. Rama gave Ravana many chances to surrender Sita to him and was ready to forgive him. Often we think that admitting defeat and correcting our actions shows us to be losers and pride gets in our way. But in fact it takes a lot of courage to admit and reform. And forgiveness does not mean we condone the action or become best friends again. Forgiveness means that the action no longer affects us.

How will it all end?  In my X post.

Love is in the air. May we learn to admit our mistakes and correct them. And may we be gracious to forgive those who wrong us. For forgiveness is akin to divinity.
