Effeminate Grace!

If we are able to resist....

the temptation to 'pre-judge' any lack of something.... any hurdle towards that lacking...

at once...

as yet-another-attribute of some other 'quality'...

then,

we can try to look at our 'needless resistance within'... a negative quality, that robs us of our innocence,

that manifests often as 'Hate'...

as also...

a hurdle to our discovery of 'effeminate' grace within ourselves,

but not “necessarily” ...... “a sign of manliness ....”..!!!

The problem might be, when this resistance becomes sugar coated, when ... after we change its form (obstinacy-- a mind-level-resistance), and then embellish it with 'strictly' logic based argumentative justification of our judgements/conclusions/fore-closures-of-perception.. etc!

Effeminate grace! A very subtle quality!

And so, a symbolism which is 'likely' to come 'as close as possible' as an indicative example!

National bird.. “Peacock” (a coincidence?... dunno!)

Even its feather... 'seems' to represent ... durability, grace, strength (though subtle)... mystic colors (the composition of color-combination, invokes a mystic-emotion!)...

It adorns the knot of tuft of hair on the 'complete-man'... he doesn't even wear lot of cloth (leave alone a 'suiting'... he is just a kid!... a loincloth is all he needs to drape in!)... But, the legend tells that countless number of women felt drawn towards his 'effeminate' grace !

Peacock-aasana... Not too many even manage the 'complete posture'... Biology can tell us the strength of this bird's unique strength of nerves.. even a look at its disproportionately thin legs, and the burden of large plume, the body, etc... its alertness despite its burden, when it is the earliest to respond to a sudden shower of rain, the grandeur of its response, when the subtle shiver of its abruptly-spread-out long feathers, a challenge to even the 'best-of-our-dancers!!!

I lack poetic skills! (so please find a way to excuse my audacity/gustaaqui, of this prose form of narrative, which deserves a poetic-expression!)
