Letting go

Sometimes it is important to let go
Without saying elaborate good byes
Everyone moves on
Life goes on
Whatever one holds on with force
slips away or gets distorted
Is never ever familiar again
Sometimes it is important to forget
Without a lingering glance
Whatever that is rightfully yours
does return...does it?

Being Happy

Being happy is the most sought after state
It is almost as if Earth rotates just to be happy...
There seems to be no other purpose in life than to seek happiness...
The only difference is some seek happiness for themselves
while some seek it for others...
Happiness eludes some while it resides unknowingly in some people...
No chalked out investment plans can buy it
nor can one sell it to others...
But the poorest of the poor flaunt it in on their faces
and they become the most sold pictures in the world!!

Out of tune

I seem to be out of tune these days...
It all started when I became more and more out of tune with nature...
People crowd in my thoughts and useless routine imprison my days...
I want to clear up everything and soak in the colour of the sunset
but I see a plane glide away...a mobile ringing somewhere...
Factory bellowing smoke...they all come in the way...
Mind is almost hurrying the sun to go away...
Racing thoughts ruin the moment
I don't know when I'll clear up my mind and watch a clear sunset
and notice birds returning home...
I am out of tune with Nature or
rather the Nature is out of tune with me...
I envy the singing bird while no song come to my mind!

Carlos Castenda quotes

People hardly ever realize that we can cut anything from our lives, any time, just like that. For example, smoking and drinking are nothing. Nothing at all if we want to drop them. Only one thing is indispensable for anything we do; the spirit. One can't do without the spirit.
* * *
Only as a warrior can one survive the path of knowledge, because the art of a warrior is to balance the terror of being a man with the wonder of being a man.
* * *

Nothing is gained by forcing an issue. If you want to survive you must be crystal clear and deadly sure of yourself. Only one thing is indispensable for anything we do; the spirit. One can't do without the spirit.

Life

Why all the arrogance?
Why all the atrocities?
Why all the wars?
and the killings?
Any way your life is as limited as mine
We will all change form
either become the earth beneath
or the atoms floating around.

Life is a long chain
It'll go on even if we remove the links
or twist it
It'll unwind and shove us into our graves
and dance at the new dawn
Why make efforts to put full stops
Anyway your life is as limited as mine
