Fascinated by symbols
I embarked upon a journey
To search for their meaning.
Slowly I started to understand
I wasn't just studying symbols
I was learning our ways of understanding.
There is something
Beyond our senses, yet
Very near to us.
We have a fascination to unlock
The secrets of life.
Reaching to what was unreachable
Grasping to what is beyond our grasp
Expressing what was beyond expressions
Pointing to what is non propitious
To our language and understanding-
That is what symbols do best.
Their ambiguity points to some clarity.
The new symbols are devised every day
Adopting to changing circumstances
The symbols are as resilient
As human mind
With no beginning or end.

This is magnificent, Savita. There is great insight in your words. And you have reminded me that what appears as a secret in one culture may exist in plain sight in another- as a mystery.
Thank you so much for your comment. We grew up with most mysterious symbols around. I am fascinated by their power.
