Mother's Lap, A Soothing Abode

Still is there the strength and a boundless feeling of security. The security which would make us feel safe and prosperous—the feeling of that wholeness in a single place; that comforting wee aura was our whole world; that beautiful cocoon, which we deemed as a fort for our defense and protection. Any fear we’re struck with would get shaken off; every sorrow shattered, no pain remained anymore, by clinging to it— Yes… I mean mother’s lap- a peaceful abode indeed!  Still is there, balm for our irrepressible wounds; still is that security there, which would make us forget all foes and panics. But let you go and stick to it truly and sincerely; let you feel it and make her feel, “you still need her the way you did when you had no one to cleave to and cuddle. Let you show that utter dependence and that crave for her impeccable love, which would make you grab her and yearn for her when she was far away from you. Let you go and embrace her tight and feel that everlasting peace and that ceaseless power- power of being selflessly loved and of your sincere longing. Still it makes you unmindful towards the entire world- Let you feel so, it is still a totality in a tiny ambiance.
