The Man Above....

Supposed to be studying for my 'Continuous Assessment Test' tomorrow but feeling inspired after reading blogs of fellow PSBBians. Johnny Cash’s ‘Burning Ring of Fire’ running in the background. (*not the Joaquin Phoenix cover*) Listening to more of the old timers these days. Bob Dylan, Johnny Cash etc. There’s something very honest and down to earth about their lyrics. Dylan’s very socially conscious as well- ‘Mr. Tambourine Man’, ‘Hurricane’ etc. Probably the only musician who managed to raise awareness through his music… Very special dude.
What do you do when you’re distracted; when you don’t want to be and because someone you don’t want to be distracted by? It happens to everyone. Some say, “Talk about it”. But that never works for me- I end up dreaming about the person… I end up thinking about the other person’s opinion about that person; about that person and me. Writing about it works sometimes. The best cure I’ve found though is God. In my mind’s eye, I throw myself at his feet. I guess it’s because I don’t have to apologize to God for anything I’m feeling. I merely ask for it all to be taken away. It works, I think because once I’ve told Krishna (to me God invariably takes the form of Krishna at least when I’m thinking about ‘love’) I kind give up responsibility for feeling everything I’m feeling. For those of you who suffer from the same ‘pangs of love’, try it next time…
Very weird? Religious? I guess I am…
