BROTHER, DON'T CHANGE
“Follow your inner moonlight; don’t hide the madness.” Allen Ginsberg Q uickly commenting on one of my recently-shared pictures, one of my cousin sisters wrote: “You’re my sweet Dattu* dear. You be like this only… Don’t try to change.” I was equally quick in my response: “You see, the crow, won’t change into a bright-white dove, even if you wash him with the best detergent. So, my darling sister, this crow has decided not to change at all.” REFLECTION : Whenever I feel tired of chasing success and happiness, I hear the crow crying, sitting on our window – ‘Ka… Ka… Ka’. My friend brings home the message: Discover the beauty, power and joy of your own being! *Dattu’ means an elder brother in my mother tongue, Konkani. GERALD D’CUNHA Pic’s: Pixels: 1.
