And we are put on earth a little space, that we might bear the beams of love -William Blake
Dance, when you're broken open.Dance,
if you've torn the bandage off.
Dance
in the middle of the fighting.
Dance
in your blood.
Dance,
when you're perfectly free.
- Rumi
The joy is bouncing off the page in beams of light.
ReplyDeleteIt's great to have a family loving each other! With all the things you have been going through physically, Shaista, this is something no one and nothing can take this away:)
ReplyDeleteSorry, forgot to ask if you have seen my new art page (different from my main blog)?
ReplyDeleteOH yes, just dance. So glad to make a friend who dances most when things are worst. Bless you.
ReplyDeleteThe pics of your lovely family made me smile, Shaista! Keep dancing!
ReplyDeleteYour beautiful family. All beaming.
ReplyDeleteYou are rich dear girl, very rich, and healthy, strong in all the things that last and matter. I do not worry for you one bit, but fret for the ones around you who watch you suffer.I would bend on my knees and lace up your dancing shoes for you.
Beautiful!
ReplyDeleteI am on vacation but I came to wish you a Happy American Thanksgiving!
Many Blessings and Hugs to You!

First time reading your blog.You are a wonderful, inspirational writer. I am sorry for your illness and truly hope for your recovery.
ReplyDeleteWhat gorgeous smiles! More and even greater happiness to you, Shaista.
ReplyDeleteLike I have told Riz before. I cannot believe that is Irfan. I can still recognise you from what I remember of you guys when you were back in Bombay. But Irfan. Damn...he has changed so much. He could have at least hung on to the braces. :)
ReplyDeleteAunty doesn't seem to have aged a bit! Uncle's greyed a little (and so have I...) but looking good.
Riz still 'appears' as skinny as me. :))
Thanksgiving is the lobe of your family. In abundance.
ReplyDeleteSo glad you have that :)

Your family looks very happy!
ReplyDeleteYour radiant smile is as full of joy as Rumi's words which you quote (and which I love) so frequently. I am happy you are surrounded by so much love.
