Do not Stand at my grave and weep

For when I am gone I am not really gone. I will still be there amidst whispers of the Unknown roads I walked And still triumphed. Do not stand at my grave and weep For when I am gone I am not really gone. I have packed my stars in your purse For I can still see when you make attempts to reach the stars. Do not stand at my grave and weep. For when I am gone I am not really gone. I am still there as a Sun on a land, Rains on barren earths As winds on an untouched sea As no love lost in a heart which Shall not choose to be a vagabond Do not stand at my grave and weep, For when I gone I am not really gone. I will remain in the minds and hearts I knew. For I shall also remain among the green luster Of grass and brown glow of hills For I loved also them.

A Dolphin’s Tale Not every tail makes a difference. But some tails do. A Dolphin’s Tail is the tale all about. One of the Dolphin’s Winter in the Clearwater Marine Aquarium loses its mate, Panama all of a sudden one fine morning while a show is transpiring. He kind of becomes absolutely stolen and lost of his companionship, his frivolousness, and the moments he spent with Panama. The aquarium Staff work day and night to get back the Once Happy Winter, in fact the whole town of Mexico does!! As life has its ways and means, the nature too knows its ways and means to throw open the doors of a new beginning and a New Hope. And a juvenile Dolphin comes through this way to join the waters of Clearwater Marine Aquarium and is christened as Hope. The Clearwater Marine aquarium staff plans all of it to present a companion to Winter. The meeting, plan of action well planned and both Winter and Hope are thrown in the waters. Does everything seem so easy as it looks like underneath? I guess no. Hope though a bit happy to see his own kith under waters doesn’t seem to accept him and expect him. I guess animals too here are no exceptions. They do also take their time to accept one another either with their defects or with no defects or in complete perfection. Hope seems to get aggressive when he sees Winter isn’t a complete dolphin at all, I mean a Dolphin without a Tail like he has one. Winter would have lost its tail when trapped in a fish trap long back. One’s own kith with no identity marks wasn’t acceptable in the wild domains either. See Tail does matter, just like Cleopatra had a beautiful nose of her own !! So, now the scientists at the Clearwater Aquarium design a tail and fix it to Winter’s body. The entire town of Mexico waits in bathed breath to know eagerly if Hope would befriend Winter. Once again the two dolphins are released in water to see if the bonding would strike. All goes not so well, until Winter the Older Dolphin realizes he has move its tail and swim if in case he has to accepted by Hope. And he does first slowly, then with fast movements. A first step taken towards the beginning of a relationship. Behold, for some time the two Dolphins seem to go underwater, remain still under waters. The language spoken, the message conveyed they swim aboard together flapping their fins and tails together. Winter and Hope have become the best of friends. The Clearwater Marine Aquarium still stands to its word of preserving nature by voicing “Rescue Rehab and Release” Acceptance in a relationship not always stands on the platform of accepting one with his/her defects, perhaps a little make over, a metamorphosis, a step ahead to prove and convey- “I am also like you” necessary. Need I say more ? It’s a lesson in itself for all those people who are reading it – To Rescue, Rehab and Release !!
