Where am I from?

I wrote this for a writing exercise for one of the networks. I know this is idealistic but what the hell….







Gomukh…origin of Ganges

……………………………………….

Where am I from?

I am from the land of saints,
where spirituality abounds.
Gita is the way of life
love for others is the norm.
all religions are embraced,
absorbed and esteemed.
Ganges washes our sins
giving us new lease of life.
Diverse cultures converge
at a single point but still
hold on to their own.

  7. Gautami, I often wonder the correlation between mathematicians and poetry. I know a lot of people who live math and are the most expressive poets. Amazing image of the origin og Ganges. I also read your post below about a spam blog. Yes, how does it resemble a spam?

  11. We are nothing without our unigueness. I think it is in the diversity we find the core of spirituality. I don’t have a clue what that means, but it sounds good.
