Am just glad to ‘feel’ the poetry in nature.. the music to which each particle dances and sways, responding unobtrusively.. because that is how things are.. they just are.. living as per their nature.. sometimes I wonder.. is this the ‘emptiness’.. we feel.. because of an ‘extended’ attachment.. every action.. every deed.. seeming to need.. some acknowledgment.. some praise.. our joys needing gratification in ‘other’ eyes..
Will be leaving this week for the Himalayas.. hope to visit Dharamsala too.. where the Dalai Lama presently resides.. a couple of years back we had visited Manali.. still hear the mesmeric sound of water rushing over rocks.. don’t know why the mountains always pull.. inexorably..
Don’t know if you have read anything by ‘Fr.Anthony de Mello’.. here are some beautiful words.. that speak a lot of how I feel.. ‘Think of yourself in a concert hall listening to the strains of the sweetest music when you suddenly remember that you forgot to lock your car. You are anxious about the car, you cannot walk out of the hall and you cannot enjoy the music. Then you have a perfect image of life as it is lived by most human beings. For life to those who have the ear to hear is a symphony, but very rare indeed is the human being who hears the music. Why? Because they are busy listening to the noises that their conditioning and their programming have put in their heads’..
