“The best way to treat obstacles is to use them as stepping-stones. Laugh at them, tread on them, and let them lead you to something better.” - Enid Blyton

"I Need You"
When you're feeling like a lover
Nothing really matters anymore
I saw you standing there in the supermarket
With your red dressing falling and your eyes are to the ground
Nothing really matters, nothing really matters when the one you love is gone
You're still in me, baby
I need you
In my heart, I need you
Cause nothing really matters
I'm standing in the doorway
You're walking 'round my place in your red dress, hair hanging down
With your eyes on one, we love the ones we can
Cause nothing really matters when you're standing, standing
I need you, need you
Cause nothing really matters
We follow the line of the palms of our hands
You're standing in the supermarket, nothing, holding hands
In your red dress, falling, falling in, falling in
A long black car is waiting 'round
I will miss you when you're gone
I'll miss you when you're gone away forever
Cause nothing really matters
I thought I knew better, so much better
And I need you
I need you
Cause nothing really matters
On the night we wrecked like a train
Purring cars and pouring rain
Never felt right about, never again
Cause nothing really matters
Nothing really matters anymore, not even today
No matter how hard I try
When you're standing in the aisle, and no, baby
Nothing, nothing, nothing
I need, I need, I need you
I need you
I need you
Just breathe, just breathe
I need you
(Nick Cave, I need You)

This is known as the “eternal light” or “sanctuary
lamp.” This candle is always lit. The candle is symbolic of the continual presence of God.
Thanks for viewing my photo albums:
9/11 -We will never forget all sacrifices of first responders, families and loved ones of those who perished at the hands of savages and still bear the deeply rooted emotional & physical scars.
And as CENTCOM Commander Gen. Kenneth McKenzie praised the Taliban for being "helpful, useful, businesslike and pragmatic" during the evacuation where 13 US military personnel died & hundreds were critically wounded on August 26th; let us remember it was Taliban who sheltered al Qaedas Osama bin Laden & his henchmen after the attack of 9/11 of course, till they slithered over to Pakistan to hide.

Where were you...
Lyrics by Alan Jackson
"Where were you when the world stopped turnin' that September day? Were you in the yard with your wife and children Or workin' on some stage in L.A.?
Did you stand there in shock at the sight of that black smoke
Risin' against that blue sky? Did you shout out in anger, in fear for your neighbor Or did you just sit down and cry?
Did you weep for the children, they lost their dear loved ones
Pray for the ones who don't know?
Did you rejoice for the people who walked from the rubble
And sob for the ones left below? Did you burst out with pride for the red, white, and blue And the heroes who died just doin' what they do?
Did you look up to heaven for some kind of answer and look at yourself and what really matters?
I'm just a singer of simple songs, I'm not a real political man
I watch CNN, but I'm not sure I can tell you the diff'rence in Iraq and Iran. But I know Jesus and I talk to God
And I remember this from when I was young,
Faith, hope, and love are some good things He gave us
And the greatest is love
Where were you when the world stopped turnin' that September day? Teachin' a class full of innocent children
Or drivin' down some cold interstate? Did you feel guilty 'cause you're a survivor? In a crowded room did you feel alone? Did you call up your mother and tell her you love her?
Did you dust off that Bible at home?
Did you open your eyes and hope it never happened
Close your eyes and not go to sleep? Did you notice the sunset for the first time in ages and speak to some stranger on the street? Did you lay down at night and think of tomorrow, g o out and buy you a gun? Did you turn off that violent old movie you're watchin' And turn on I Love Lucy reruns?
Did you go to a church and hold hands with some strangers
Stand in line to give your own blood? Did you just stay home and cling tight to your family & Thank God you had somebody to love"
A refuge for the coming night
A future of eternal light
No one gets to their heaven without a fight.

Originally I only wanted to take some portraits of the wonderful purple
wisteria flowers......when I discovered its leaves through my macrolens!
They are so soft 'n hairy!
This photograph is not just light painting, sea, moon and stars.
It is memory. It is love that never disappears.
That small silhouette by the sea is you, Sury…
because you always walked with me and you sometimes got me into trouble…but they were our troubles,
and that is why they were perfect.
And that golden sphere is your light, still shining in my nights,
still warming my silence.
Now you run among the stars, but every time I look at the sea,
I know you are still here. In the moon. In the light. In my heart. 🐾✨
With all my ❤️ I thank you for your ⭐ or 💬 or just for 👀 it.

It symbolizes the victory of light over darkness and hope over despair. Perfect for greeting cards, spiritual posts, and traditional Diwali themes. #DiwaliDiya #EternalLight #TraditionalDiwali #Deepavali2025 #IndianFestival #EarthenLamp #Warmth #Hope
India Gate, the Memorial for the Unknown Soldier at New Delhi is a goldmine for photographers. (Captain Suresh said this earlier) The canopy which once housed the statue of King Geoge V is seen against the glorioous sunrise!
Dark and emptied and deathlike
Full of fear and shadows
I went to the Sun King for help
He was too bright for me to look at
His radiance shone upon my iniquity
So in my shadow fright I stuttered a plea
That I might be soaked in everlasting Light
His laughter made me tremble
Echoing around the Universe
His sound almost shattered me
Finally he leaned my way
He explained that even he is a shadow
Though a very bright one
We play at being kings and children of kings
That we may lose and find ourselves in variations
That we may detach and witness every story
In every lump of coal a diamond waits
In every dark and spinning moon such radiance
In every black and brooding hour a promise lingers
This Light is ever with us
Regardless if we feel it or not
So now I can proclaim that I AM a child of the Sun
and shadows are not real

*Sometimes after long periods of silence and brooding, a new light shines. A new understanding emerges. We cannot explain it but it is there. After such excruciating heaviness and self-judgement ,we realize the inevitability of this change. Again and again, the letting go to this process reveals the mystery and the sublime joy of life. The brooding moon is overwhelmed with light again. The sun finds its joy in this. Both are subject to a greater love.
Ad Note (October 2015):
One day the sun admitted
I am just a shadow.
I wish I could show you
the Infinite Incandescence
that has cast my brilliant image.
I wish I could show you
when you are lonely or in darkness
the astonishing Light
of your own Being.

"Designed by high-profile architect Thomas Hastings, who built New York City's Public Library at Fifth Avenue and 42nd Street, and sculptor Paul Wayland Bartlett, the flagstaff project received a $25,000 commission from department store heir and PGA founder Rodman Wanamaker. The original Oregon pine pole was situated a top a base featuring a Milford pink granite ornamented bronze cap with images of rams heads and garlands. For a number of years, the light was serviced every 28 days, wrote The New York Times on November 14, 1999, and "it was dimmed intentionally in a blackout drill in 1942, then went dark for several days in 1957 because of a defective wire." After falling into disrepair, the memorial was removed in 1973, to be replaced with a steel flagpole in 1976.
In September 2002, the Eternal Light Star received an electrical update with assistance from the Department of Parks & Recreation, Con Edison, and Sentry Electric Corp., according to the Madison Square Park Conservancy website. The implementation of LED-based lighting, reported Electrical Construction & Maintenance magazine on December 9, 2002, would then support the star’s “unique and continuous lighting requirements” to honor the individuals who fought for America's freedom."

.... In Judaism, the sanctuary lamp is known by its Hebrew name, 'ner tamid' (Hebrew: נֵר תָּמִיד), which is usually translated as "eternal flame" or "eternal light". Hanging or standing in front of the ark in every Jewish synagogue, it is meant to represent the menorah of the Temple in Jerusalem as well as the continuously burning fire on the altar of burnt offerings in front of the Temple. It also symbolizes God's eternal presence and is therefore never extinguished ....
So you are like the eternal light
I can't stop yourself
You are the wind of this scent
On this hill you can try your freedom
