Clouds

The taste of clouds,
damp,
yearning for those who have gone by,
wanting those who are yet to come,
unforgettable,
suspended,
injured,
insistent and inevitable,
a unique drop of a disappeared world
and a world yet to appear,
a globe quivering,
the heavens dissolving,
a complicity,
a deep agreement,
a fidelity,
we hold on,
we implore,
Leave me, but do not go.”

Fuji City

Mukesh Williams


Fuji City is in Shizuoka Prefecture and is located on the banks of the scenic Fuji River. It is surrounded by Ashitaka mountain range with Mount Fuji sitting as a perfect jewel in its center. The spring water is really tasty here. The best thing about Fuji City is the rural countryside ambience with large stretches of tea gardens and a scenic view of Mount Fuji. During the Edo period, this was tenryo territory under the governance of the Tokugawa shogunate. There are lots of paper factories here including the famous Nippon Paper Industries. It is good to come in June, July or October to watch the Yoshiwara Gion, Festival, The Fuji Festival or the Karigane Festival.

Action Without Attachment

Yajnarthat-karmano-nyatra lokoyam karmabandhanah;
Tadartham karma kaunteya muktasangah samachara.


The world is bound by actions other than those performed for the sake of yajna;
Do thou, therefore, O son of Kunti (Arjuna), perform action for this purpose alone, free from attachment.

Bhagvad Gita 3-9

BEYOND THE PRONOUN

Beyond the pronoun
The present enters the future
And conveys all that
Grammar wishes to convey.

Language makes
The subject hostage
By mirroring subjectivity
Through imagined essence.

The ego relinquishes its
Utopian wishes for modernity
And enters the claims
Of a surrogate history.
