Famous Monika Ajay Kaul Quotes

“Isn’t it trust that lets the river give itself to the sea not knowing if its name will survive the salt.. that lets the moon surrender to darkness certain the sun will one day find her.. that sends roots downward into what they cannot see sure the unseen will answer.. that carries the wind to rest against the mountain knowing the stone will not turn away..!? Isn’t it trust this primal covenant beneath all motion where yin carries a fragment of yang and yang holds the shadow of yin each completing the other without asking to be assured..!? ©”

“Keepsakes . . Keep a leaf between your pages when you forget your season... some memories keep their green. Carry a feather in your pocket when the world grows weighty... some flights are never lost. Set a pebble on your desk when your thoughts scatter... some footings remain true. Hold a seashell in your palm when silence grows heavy... some songs endure. Keep a drop of rain in your memory when the days turn brittle... some renewals return.”

“Beauty in Decay! . . I cannot rest easy in the rush of the hour, where voices echo sharp as machines, and the headlines knit a web of ash, steel, and sorrow. Last evening, in a restful orchard, I found an old tree split by storms. Its hollow cradling a single blossom, pale and trembling in the dusk. I left it untouched, its fragile defiance far brighter than the glow of any city's burning light.”

“At the End of All Things" . . We are held. in wombs.. in arms. in love.. in hope. in dawn.. in beginnings. We are seen. in faces.. in eyes. in shadows.. in light. in faith.. in doubt. We are changed. in time.. in trials. in choices.. in chances. in loss.. in becoming. We are found. in memory.. in grief. in stories.. in songs. in mercy.. in wonder. Our whole lives and at the last horizon we are carried away in coffers of ash.”
