Lockdown, another lockdown
These are truly unprecedented times
times that make us think
what is real for us
and what is not
there is strength
in silence
there is power
in staying still
there is answer
in letting-go
~~~
Freedom
Freedom!!!
Freedom!!
Freedom!
Freedom?
Yes, “freedom!” the people chant
at demonstrations
not knowing
what it means
Freedom to be against authority?
Freedom from The State and its responsibility to ensure the wellbeing of its citizens?
Freedom to let The Virus mutate & mutate some more?
Freedom to disrupt and confuse?
Freedom to spread lies?
The Virus does not care
this way or the other
for or against
it does not care
it just marches on
it takes over like a ghost
it prevails
it will be with us for long
a sure sign of things to come
people! if we are not willing to unite
we’ll have it!
sometimes, in times of danger
the wellbeing of the whole must be considered
before the freedom of the individual
that is freedom
This ocean
This ocean is like soul
deep and mysterious
un-knowable for land animals
for us mortal personas
We see only the waves
the surface, the horizon
we can not comprehend
its depths
the whole gestalt
If ocean is soul
then water is spirit
Like Atman and Brahman
the Vedic scriptures would say
This Ocean of Life – All That Is – is so vast
all-transcending
it will always be, trans-forming
and we are just …
a blink of an eye
Lockdown
a chance to consider the lasting things
the essential things
The Love
