A prayer borrowed

In support of the Carnatic musicians.. TM Krishna..

The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want.
2     He makes me lie down in green pastures.
He leads me beside still waters.[a]
3     He restores my soul.
He leads me in paths of righteousness[b]
    for his name's sake.

4 Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death,[c]
    I will fear no evil,
for you are with me;
    your Kodanda and your sudarshana
    they comfort me.

5 You prepare a table before me
    in the presence of my enemies;
We both lose ourselves in your infinite glory
and you shall dwell[f] in the house of our hearts
    forever.[g]

Echo and Narcissus

Echo and Narcissus,

Two character flaws, blind repetition & self-obsession.

The struggle continues

Muscles are beyond sore..
Knees and Ankles are about to give up..
The body shudders..
The mind is now too numb to beg for mercy..
Exhaustion turns in to a migraine..
Everything tells me I've done my due diligence in the ring..
And yet the pot belly adamantly sticks out..

The struggle continues ..
