Deep in our wounds Are seeds Waiting to grow in beautiful flowers 'The second life' It Blossoms when we realise We only have one. Deconstructing the walls Discovering Our life is an 'Art' & We, The Masterpiece Respecting 'Being' over 'Becoming' It happens When we relax Meditating & Feeling Simply sitting & smiling, At The woods we pass The squirrels hiding nuts in grass The broad day light & stars shining at night Celebrating the ecstasy Of knowing 'who we are' It is audacious It is 'Death' Yes, death of 'fear' Of 'servant mind' Of 'ego' Of 'infinite' thoughts The 'death of misery' It is the commencement Of an inevitable revolution Yes , The innocent 'rebirth' is 'Being Total' is Enjoying our own company is Accepting & loving ourself is Celebrating ourself is Yes , Living Life is Let's Come out of the masses Filling our heart with enlightening power To accept the past Decorate the present & Transform the Future Be Spontaneous Be Creative Let your life be a poem you 'live' Let it be a song you 'love' Let it be a story full of 'laughter' Let it be a journey full of 'light' Oh Dear soul ! No Meditation, No Life Know Meditation, Know Life. - Shristi Gupta Today I was going through the picture album of my grandparents & I was smiling at the creativity of the nature , like how from a little plant , we keep on living , growing , changing & suddenly we turn back & laugh at the beginning of the growth of the tree having its own beauty experiencing value & uniqueness caring & nurturing tiny plants. I felt like the old age is tremendously serene & in fact it should be so because whole life move towards it but then it's a peak , how could it be the beginning ? I asked myself If we are growing old or growing up , are we simply ageing with the body or missing something as inquisitive as life , I asked myself if I am afraid of being old ? But I looked up at my grandparents , I could read the answers from their faces , I realised that life , if rightly lived from moment to moment , all the challenges that life gives , using all the opportunities that life opens , daring to the adventure in to the unknown to which life invites us , then old age is nothing about being fearful . In fact it's the beginning of an enlightening journey. I felt like painting a crazy picture with the art of living gracefully with no more questions like getting rid of old age but the vibrant colours of loving our own life , an authentic one. So if you have loved , you have been aware & meditative , I think it's really crazy to have such a great life & while keeping that album , I dropped a note in it , " thank you for helping me to understand the real essence of the lines by Charles Bukowoski that your life is your life, know it while you have it." - Shristi Gupta "Daddy will get late tonight" said mumma and I could feel my breath I don't know what it means but I remember it's never good when daddy's late my back pains from yesterday he had thrown me in a corner like I throw my teddy, I only showed him my sketch but I didn't cry he doesn't notice my tears mumma cried she picked me up, I asked her "why is papa angry late night?" and she said "honey, look, it's not him." - Aditya Nayak |
