Mind in circles

Like driftwood
floating aimlessly
in the water
and then caught
by swaying currents
and getting stuck on a
drooping branch
and twirling in circles
caused by the pothole
thus going round ...
and round...
in circles
as I say it again
in circles...
makes my head spin
go round and round
Whats the point ?
when you cant fight back
and the current is strong
so strong...
whats the point ?
when you end up
again and again
where you started

The beginning of a circle is also its end.......

Whosoever wishes to know about the world must learn about it in its particular details.
Knowledge is not intelligence.
In searching for the truth be ready for the unexpected.
Change alone is unchanging.
The same road goes both up and down.
The beginning of a circle is also its end.
Not I, but the world says it: all is one.
And yet everything comes in season.
- Heraklietos of Ephesos

Perfect dream

Waiting and waiting
for this time to pass
waiting and waiting
for that time to arrive


The perfect moment
The perfect setting

Quiet in the midst of
sounds of only birds
and rowing of the boatman
splashing of water on the oars

And then you watch
and soak it in
Like a deep breath that
makes you alive from within
etched forever in your mind
it cannot be erased
Even the click of the camera
cant capture the image

As you look above
and they fly overhead
Pink with their "S" necks
A few hundred they said
Flying in a "V "
whilst changing formations
with unspoken coordination
diving and gliding
with almost divine grace
Sighting these beautiful flamingoes
almost seem
like I just stepped into
the perfect dream!

Tiny Self

I am small,
inconspicuous,
unimportant.
Almost
insignificant
I have no worth
my presence does not matter
I am just a speck of dust
in this Universe


My role is so small to play
that my actions don't count
They don't make a difference
What is destined will happen
What a worthless life
And what worthless thoughts
are ambition, hard work and ultimate happiness
Its not going to last
Its never going to last
So what's the point of trying....
Trying to save the world?
when its all doomed any ways


Its just a matter of time
A matter of space
and "matter" of course


No, no!
I'm not manic depressive
Just the temporary low
as I walk out of the Space Museum

"You wait for the good moment-the infamous first thought-but nothing happens. There is a thought of giving up the whole thing, or else trying to crank something up artificially. But neither one of those things works. Then you sort of become distracted by something else- and when you come back, there it is!"

-CTR, 'True Perception' Dharma Art

Truly inspiring book . Still reading . more views to come

Some moments are to be treasured always .
And even the moments when you remember those moments you treasure.
And even the people you share them with .
And even the spaces you experience them ....

“Any intelligent fool can make things bigger, more complex, and more violent. It takes a touch of genius — and a lot of courage — to move in the opposite direction.”

— Albert Einstein

I wonder if we all are intelligent fools . I think we are. All moving in one direction -towards destruction.
