Quote by Mallika Chawla

“We, the people of 21st century, get into the cars first and then decide where to go But that's okay because we chose (in front of distances) not to bow Let's just look out of the window and summon the way Let the roads on their own sail, carry the sleigh...”

“It's everywhere and yet nowhere In the eyes of a child In your smile, even if it's mild It's in the imperceptible dew of the dawn It's in the ambience of a freshly cut lawn. Yet how selfish I would be if I would be talking about it only in the sight sense Voice...my second love Voices in which I can dove Forever and never come out It's not only what beauty is about And yet a shame on all of us We still chose that face As the only place to admire beauty”

“by Luci Shaw To the Edge: for Madeleine L'Engle Be with her now. She faces the ocean of unknowing, losing the sense of what her life has been, and soon will be no longer as she knew it, as we knew it with her. Lagging behind, we cannot join her on this nameless shore. Knots in her bones, flesh flaccid, the skin like paper, pigment gathering like ashes driven by a random wind, a heart that may still sing, interiorly - we cannot know - have pulled her far ahead of us, our pioneer. As we embrace her, her inner eyes embrace the universe.. She recognizes heaven with its innumerable stars - but not our faces. Be with her now, as you have sometimes been - a flare that blazes, then dulls, leaving only a bright blur in the memory. Hold her in the mystery that no one can describe but Lazarus, though he was dumb and didn't speak of it. Fog has rolled in, erasing definition at the edge. Walking to meet it, she hopes soon to see where the shore ends. She listens as the ocean breathes in and out in waves. She hears no other sound.”

“I do not want to live in a world without butterflies. Without the intricate eyes and velvety wings, graceful splashes of color dancing on the breeze. Airy, delicate keepers of hope. Metamorphic symbols of change, growth, maturation. ... I do not want this world without the butterflies. I could not bear the wailing of flowers. --from 'A World Without Butterflies' (a poem)”
