INDIA!Where the last of my 7 wonders: The Taj Mahal resides.
It was said that's where you'll see immortal love.
It's a nice thought :-)
Immortal love... does it exist?
I have no answer.
Or rather, perhaps, I don't believe in it.
Unfortunately.
Reality is but a sum of one's own consciousness & experiences.
Mine?
It doesn't encompass immortality of any kind.
Change is a constant.
Including myself.
India is a country where one has more questions than answers.
A land of forts & tombs.
A history of war & love.
A journey into the past, present & future.
A glimpse into one's own humanity & genorisity.
For many, they leave their souls here.
For me, it didn't touch me that way.
Instead, it reminded me of home ages ago.
When things seemed so hopeless, chaotic & despair.
It is not a comfortable feeling.
It never was.
Yet, it still exists out there in this world & consequently it exists in here.
Something no one can do for anyone but live through it themselves.
