From a saturated vision
Of gleaming paleness of sight
With shifting of glance of mere surprise
A shape of molten liquid, weak yet strong
Crossing the bridge of unparallel twigs
A myth of fog, of descent and high
Of slight shadow with hands so shy
The beat of small feet, the beat of raw heat
Prying eyes of known fright
Of stillness a mirage of perfection
Swaying rivers so distant a call
A touch of finger, with melting desire
An embrace of passion alive beneath
A blurring face of distortion revealed
Crossing the bridge of unparallel twigs
Of futile vision and burning dream.
If one science could explain the phenomenon of life, we would be learned people with nothing more to gain. Part of the differences that lie between us is accountable to the unknown areas of life. Secrets are revealed by successful men, mantras are sold like cupcakes in a candy shop; yet none of those seem to fit into your life with ease and simplicity: the way it did in that person's life.
Is it all in the hands of the person living his life? Or can the teachings of gurus be inculcated into our routine for attaining a level we only read in books or watched on television?
If I could have answered these questions, I would be reading my fan mail or globe trotting to give seminars, instead of sitting on the warm floor and writing this. So for anybody who comes across this, it is not a diary entry or a collection of gripping stories. These are my thoughts.
Also, it's an easy way to not pressurize myself with a deadline. Writing at one's own pace is charming - well, at least more charming than reading classics or doing work where interest is the last thing on my mind. This is my idea of being free. Free to express, free to think, free to be. Yes, I know we live in a democratic country; yet we rob ourselves of our own freedom.
Here is: To Freedom, To Life and... To Smiles!!! :)
Cheers!
