Terri Marie: Well, there you go. You have just stripped away
all the essence of all the other stuff and come to a simplicity
part of it again. I like the way that you did that John. As
well as writing books, you also like poetry. Why do you like
poetry? Is there anything special or anything that poetry can
give us that’s a little bit out of the ordinary?
John Harricharan: It is almost akin to music, I think poetry
in its own way is music and you do very well writing poetry
also I’ve read some of yours and loved them. And I think
poetry is the music of the soul expressed a little differently
from just ordinary prose. It will evoke within us, feelings of
grandeur and hope and so forth and as a little boy, I was
tremendously influenced by poetry.
Actually I found almost everything poetic, and at the age of
three, I was brought into this giant temple by my father we’re
in front of a crowded temple. I recited the poem called “A
Song of life”. And till this day, decades later, I still could
step back and look at that little boy on the stage, as he ended
it by saying lives of great men all remind us, we can make our
lives sublime and departing leave behind us, footprints on the
sands of time.
I think poetry is therapeutic just as music is. And a poetry
serves as a source of inspiration sometimes when we’re down in
the arena and they have their boots on our necks, and the dust
is in our nose and our mouth and we can hear the crowd
screaming “Kill him, kill him, destroy him, use the sword on
him” and we don’t know where to — and today the crowds would
probably be the people who hold your mortgage or who holds the
notary of your car or your boss or your job or what not it
hasn’t changed much in thousands of years.
So we still get down in the arena, when that happens, we need
all the strength and all the hope to say to our souls even when
you were bleeding. It ain’t over yet, it isn’t finished yet.
It isn’t done yet. I can get up, I can get up, and that’s when
you get up and you sit down and you’re kind it to yourself and
you say, “Okay John, that stinks, that hurts, that was bad
really bad.” But you have brushed the dust off and you go on.
Do you know what keeps you going? It’s hope. Hope keeps you
going.
You don’t need hope to have faith, but hope leads you to faith
and it keeps you going until you take that other step and the
other step and all of a sudden, the crowds are not boeing any
longer. You’re in this arena, you’re in the stadium and they
are shouting for you “long live Terry Marie, long live Vish,
Hurray for John”. Now you have come from one place to the
other and sources of inspiration such as, music, poetry, nature
the company you keep, could take you there and make that road a
little bit calmer, a little bit more interesting and a little
bit more joyful.
