I Adopt to Counting on the Evolutionary Path

by Ashok Sharda


Hundred is my goal
As I proceed to count
On the path, evolutionary

I forge ahead
With my head erect
Taking pride as I count
And cross every mile stone
Forgetting the evolutionary path
On the path, evolutionary

Forgetting is the trick. See you in the next hundred. Great, thought-provoking piece, Ashok.

A circuitous writing regarding a straight forward journey...

We can never seem to walk that straight line, there's always some bump along the way. When troubles arise, that direction gets compromised. You really create a good picture of that journey. Great read.

We will live to ripe old ages...your words are thoughtful, progressive, and goal-oriented. Man's mind is a great machine - we are evolutionary. S2 is especially strong as the meaning of "evolutionary," used 2 ways can also have other meanings/interpretations. Ashok, once again your words have made us think about ourselves, not only for humanity in the present, but also in the future.

"I forge ahead With my head erect Taking pride as I count And cross every mile stone Forgetting the evolutionary path On the path, evolutionary" - Yes, forgetting the evolutionary path in counting, in taking pride in those milestones which lead not to evolution but delusion. I walk circles thinking I am walking straight ahead, and Oh! How happy I am and look what I have accomplished and how much closer I am to becoming evolved, civilized, knowledgeable, at peace and at one with all! But really where is this evolutionary path and how is it possible to evolve when one is TIED and CHAINED to some known path he has already mapped out? To BE on that path is to BE without a count, without a proud moment, without a reflection of what has been 'done' what yet is 'to be done'...the evolutionary path is the path of UNDOING. It is not looking back and seeing from where you have come counting all the way, nor looking forward and counting what is left based on your past milestone-counting experience. You EVOLVE when you ARE. Merged with WHAT IS, knowing in the moment, without thought, what SHOULD BE. True evolution is without a path and without a history and without future. True evolution is BECOMING who you INTEND to BECOME. That's what I saw. High marks as always.

yes, we forge on that path, along with the rest of life's creatures evolutionary and all of us striding and with parts interchangeable, even our souls.
