The Modesty and Majesty of Being

Even the brightest of stars had a humble beginning as clouds of dust and gas. Along with being majestic, the star is also quite generous with its light. Even the best of the flowers that graces gods was once a small seed in the earth. While holding the most honorable place, the flower is also modest enough to spare its fragrance for everyone around. There is this duality in everything we see around us. The elements of nature, the universe and even phenomenon like love have the quality to be modest and majestic at the same time. The same duality is often reflected in all of us, binding us even closer to the universe and nature than we realize.

'The Modesty and Majesty of Being' is a collection of poems that explores this idea through various standpoints. The book is divided into four sections dedicated to the modesty and majesty in us, nature, the universe and love.
