Dear Mohanji, you teach us
we all need to give love overt
selflessly, unconditionally
though it may sometimes hurt.
…
Being so blessed with your presence
whenever I see your face
physical distance, doesn’t conceal
your welcoming love and grace.
…
I wanted to send you a word
something that will touch your heart
I wanted to make your heart smile
with some acts and words to impart.
…
Your birthday message was a signpost
what is the best gift to give
you taught us in a few words
how it’s blessed to live:
…
Let everyone express kindness
towards the hungry and needy
cause acts of love fulfill you more
than being selfish and greedy.
…
Not only once, but consistently
whenever one feels like it
honestly, with deep compassion
love actively and never quit.
…
Love your SELF by being non-violent
selfless, caring, detached
inspiring others into kindly acts
our consciousness will be matched.
And now, I want to share with all of you one Sunday that I filled with kindly acts. I had several ideas how one can share love and care in Novi Sad.
In Serbia, love is everywhere, yet expressions of love often remain only on the walls…
And there are those cute little children begging in the streets for basics. Despite being deprived of comforts, this girl’s eyes are shining, she looks happy with herself…
She lives in a slum near the railway between Novo Naselje and Detelinara area. It looks neglected and uncared for for this part of the town. I decided to visit them and give them some food and biscuits.
They were amazed and grateful, though they are not usually hungry, as you can see. What they need is love, care and hygiene, so this is also a kind of invitation for settling this.
There are also unattended dogs who need home, love and care. Asylum for the dogs should be built in Novi Sad.
Another idea to make one’s day is to buy flowers from the poor – and I bought magnificent lillies of the valley from a woman who lives from selling them.
In the end, there are always kind people who feed birds, so there are plenty of them on Novo Naselje, especially pigeons.
All these are tiny everyday things, but they brought tremendous joy to my heart.
On the way to the ultimate truth,
With Love,
Biljana Vozarević
