Kites, In The Hands Of Destiny Comments

This poem is so beautiful. At a metaphysical level it gives insight into the life cycle, at a spiritual level it intitiates one to understand God's ways and at a physical level it indicates how two souls born from the same umbilical chord may have different destinies depending on their karma, the umbilical chord being that of a mother or a spiritual guide or God. This poem is very special because of the way you have used kites and the string to express your feelings. It also means a lot to me because it reminds me of my home, my childhood, my parents, my guru, God and the destinies of my brother and me.

Ritty, this goes into my favourites and a copy to read again and again. It is a very beautiful comparison of birth and rebirth. I received this today from a friend......... 'What you think of as death, is indeed life. In one instance you can be a millionaire, and in the other instance, you can be steeped in poverty. Yours and mine, big and small-erase these ideas from your mind. Then everything is yours and you belong to everyone. This body is not yours, neither are you of the body. The body is made of fire, water, air, earth and ether, and will disappear into these elements. But the soul is permanent- so who are you? '

How simply you have described the reincarnation, ritty, superbly done poem!
