Will I exchange this life with any other

"பெண்ணாய்ப் பிறப்பதற்கு மா பாவம் செய்திருக்க வேன்டும்"
Whenever I heard someone say that, I never argued with them. I knew why many women would say that. I never analyzed to see what it meant to me.

However, today I'm so very happy and consider this life to be the best boon I could ever get. A dog, cat, tree, stone or any other thing in this existence may not be able to see life the way a human being can see it.

2 weeks back, when I was on top of the Camelback mountains, the heavy wind that was sweeping me away was so refreshing. After such a hike, it was weird to feel so energetic, thanks to the wind. I stood on the summit and looked down at the city of Phoenix basking in the early morning sun. I always loved to watch the sun slowly light up the city, as it rises over the mountains. This wonderful sight, the feeling of the wind on my skin, the whooshing sound in my ears, the smell of the early morning fresh air and the awareness of all this - do I want to be anything else or anyone else at this moment? NO, NEVER.

Last week, on a full moon night, I was sitting with my husband in our patio. The moon was so white and bright and my whole being felt like it was washed by the moonlight. Just looking at the moon, relishing its beauty and all that it had to offer, blew me away. Where was I and what did I do all these years? I kicked myself for missing hundreds of full moon nights in my life. If I were anything other than a human being, would I have enjoyed these? I really doubt it. So will I exchange this life with any other life - NO, NEVER

கடவுள்

கடவுள் எங்கே என்று தேடித் திரிந்த என்னிடம்
கல்லையும் ஓவியத்தையும் காண்பித்து
இதுதான் கடவுள் என்று அடித்துச் சொன்னாய்
பிறப்பும் இறப்பும் கடவுளின் செயல் என்றாய்

ஆனால் காலன் உன் வீட்டிற்கு வந்ததும்
கடவுள் இல்லவே இல்லை என்று முடிவெடுத்துவிட்டாயே

கடவுள்தன்மை எங்கும் எதிலும் உள்ளது என நான் உணர்ந்துவிட்டேன்
இனி,
உன் தேடல் தொடங்கட்டும்
