Something to hide...

She holds herself with such reserve. She smiles, but the smile doesn't reach her eyes, even in the company of the girls she's chosen to eat with. Why?
I have no clue, and I really don't want to spend my time worrying about it. But my brain pushes at the question anyway.
Why are people aloof?
Because they don't want to let others in.
Why don't they want to let others in?
Well, sometimes because they're shy, and sometimes because they're convinced of their own superiority.
But those aren't the only reasons. Sometimes it's because thay have something to hide.

Lauren Myracle, Bliss (Crestview Academy, #1)

Wash away...

Be surprised at nothing. Let peace and stillness flood through you and envelop you completely in its cloak. Put on the whole armor of love - and yet feel, feel very deeply. Let tears flow, washing away impurities until you feel clean within and clean without. Become like an empty vessel ready to be filled with life's nectar. - Eileen Caddy

Seeing with closed eyes...

 My heart is burning with love. All I can see is this flame. My heart is burning with passion, like waves on an ocean. I'm at home, wherever I am. And in the room of lovers, I can see with closed eyes the beauty that dances. Behind the veils, intoxicated with love, I too dance the rhythm of this moving world. - Rumi

Graceful...yet powerful!

The saree has draped many women- goddess Durga who defeated the demons, Rani LakshmiBai who led an army in a war. A saree makes me feel so graceful yet so powerful.

Bruises...

 

Not all forms of abuse leave bruises.

A boat without a crew...

Life without a defined purpose is similar to a boat without a crew in the middle of the ocean.
