Can I?

April 1st, 2006

It’s 3:10 p.m. and I hardly have any thing to say. “I must have some thing to tell her,” – this is the thought in the forefront ever since I woke up from my long afternoon siesta at 3:00.

I had to attend a few calls and a visitor (with whom I had to go out for a while) after I left this room at around 10.30. A meaningful thought did emerge while I was trying to hold my attention in the course of taking my bath. Interestingly, the appearance of this thought was a bit poetic, which I failed to jot.

It’s 3:18 p.m. and I hardly have any time left to do what I had planned to do today. I hardly have any time to waste either. What’s lost is lost. No more. Let me go and accomplish some task.

I see a thought emerging. Let me jot it down:

If life is a synonym of time
And time just IS, then
Where’s the choice
Other than to immerse into what IS
Rather than letting our attention drift
Into the realm of death
Beyond what IS?

If the NOW is life
And the choice is to LIVE or to UNLIVE
The moment that IS and shall remain
How does one decide not to
Walk out of this periphery in passivity
Into the realm of death?

Can I LIVE
In the IS with my body and mind
In a perpetual togetherness
Merged with the space time continuum
Never ever crossing the bounds of LIFE
Which IS?

Can I?

I must go back to the work.
