W3 Prompt #190- A Pagan? Yes, I am.

Posted on

This week, Sally is our PoW for W3 Prompt #190 I have selected the line A Pagan suckled in a creed outworn’ from the great poet, Wordsworth’s poem ‘ The World Is Too Much With Us’.

A Pagan? Yes, I am.

A Pagan suckled in a creed outworn;
By any criticism, I’m not torn
God particle in everything I see
By grace, I sculpt idols to worship thee
Of all that reminds me of your blessing to me
Of the incarnations, protected me
Let those who want to laugh, laugh, or mock me
But they can’t shake my faith or deter me
Yes, I’m a Pagan suckled in a creed outworn;
Know nothing how to show my gratitude
Except sculpt idols and pray in platitude
You may hate, but for protection, I’m sworn
This universe is as much inside me,
As much as it exists outside me.

Writing 101, Day 10: Let the scene write itself

Writing 101, day 10-

Let the scene write itself

Scene 1-

I’m sitting on a rock on the sea beach watching immersion of Idols of Goddes Durga. Just four days ( some celebrate for 9 days as Navaratri) ago we were worshiping her with full fun and frolics, with flowers and sweets. Now it is time for her to go back to her abode hence the immersion in the sea.

Scene 2 –

After one week I’m sitting at the same place. I observed remnants of those beautiful idols washed ashore by the waves. Sea never keeps anything. It returns whatever is offered to it.

It makes me think

Why we are arrogant, stubborn, and hyper

Why we fight for class, color, cast,e or creed

Why we have become so intolerant

Why we are not compassionate, compatible, and friendly

There are so many whys…

Why for petty things we pull out the dagger

When the end is the same for the king or beggar
