My poetic side

The Journey

Rabindranath tagore.

The morning sea of silence broke into ripples of bird songs; and the flowers were all merry by the roadside; and the wealth of gold was scattered through the rift of the clouds while we busily went on our way and paid no heed. We sang no glad songs nor played; we went not to the village for barter; we spoke not a word nor smiled; we lingered not on the way. We quickened our pace more and more as the time sped by. The sun rose to the mid sky and doves cooed in the shade. Withered leaves danced and whirled in the hot air of noon. The shepherd boy drowsed and dreamed in the shadow of the banyan tree, and I laid myself down by the water and stretched my tired limbs on the grass. My companions laughed at me in scorn; they held their heads high and hurried on; they never looked back nor rested; they vanished in the distant blue haze. They crossed many meadows and hills, and passed through strange, far-away countries. All honor to you, heroic host of the interminable path! Mockery and reproach pricked me to rise, but found no response in me. I gave myself up for lost in the depth of a glad humiliation ---in the shadow of a dim delight. The repose of the sun-embroidered green gloom slowly spread over my heart. I forgot for what I had traveled, and I surrendered my mind without struggle to the maze of shadows and songs. At last, when I woke from my slumber and opened my eyes, I saw thee standing by me, flooding my sleep with thy smile. How I had feared that the path was long and wearisome, and the struggle to reach thee was hard!

Journey Home by Rabindrananth Tagore: Reading and Meditation

Journey Home, Rabindrananth Tagore

The idea of home is one that we’re becoming all too familiar with these days. For many people, home may be a physical location – a building or a city. But in Tagore’s “Journey Home,” we’re challenged to think about what else home means to us. “The traveler has to knock at every alien door to come to his own.” Where has your journey taken you so far? What did your wilderness of worlds look like that brought you here? What does your inner shrine hold, and what outerworlds did you travel through in order to discover it? 

Whether home is a place, a person, or an idea that you carry in your heart, reflect on the feeling of ‘home’ and what it means to you. Our journeys to our most inner selves are seldom easy, but it’s through overcoming trials and obstacles that we find ourselves able to leave our tracks on many a star and planet. As you think of yourself as a traveler through this life, enjoy the journey and the adventure to your innermost home.
