I feel a weep
come on and wonder
why I cry sometimes
I wonder so many tears
Do I cry for another?
I never know sometimes
I weep
when I think of you
sometimes I weep
when I feel the leaving
sometimes I weep
and I know not why
I cry at the sight of you
Your beauty makes
me weep thankful tears
Thank you God

Om (written universally as ॐ) is a mantra and mystical Sanskrit sound of Hindu origin (geographically India and Nepal), sacred and important in various Dharmicreligions such as Hinduism, Buddhism, and Jainism. The syllable is also referred to as omkara (ओंकार oṃkāra) or aumkara (औंकार auṃkāra), literally “om syllable”, and in Sanskrit it is sometimes referred to as praṇava, literally “that which is sounded out loudly”.

Om or Aum is also written ओ३म् (o̿m [õːːm]), where ३ is pluta (“three times as long”), indicating a length of three morae (that is, the time it takes to say three syllables) — an overlong nasalised close-mid back rounded vowel — though there are other enunciations adhered to in received traditions.

If you take a walk through the neighborhood – a store, school, school and so on – and observe how other people talk with their children you can probably pick out areas in which you could make improvements for yourself. You may see parents in a hurry, rolling their eyes, refusing to buy something, ignoring kids or maybe even getting physical with their child.

Children understand the difference between ‘talking at’ and ‘talking with’ very early.

Talking to our children becomes more of a habit than we realize unless we change the talk patterns. Here are a few quick tips for communicating better with children:

I was not ready
Not by a long shot
For the breeze
That was you
For in the moment
I saw you and your breeze
Was the same moment
You decided to show me
The hurricane living
Inside the breeze that
I thought defined you..
I was not ready
Not for a breeze
And its hurricane…

The path of life
Is cruel and full of beauty
Who plays at dice?

Pains and joys are the colors
Of this world of confusion.
