Is Existence Useless?

 

Existence Is Useless

 

Why do we exist?


Is it to work, eat and pray?

Is it to watch Idol?

Be idle?

Worship idols?

Or to thine own self be true?

 

Am I a cog in a wheel?

 

Or the wheel without a cog?

Am I the still centre?

Or the spinning wheel?

Do I spin and get nowhere?

Which is the unmoved mover?

 

Is it to do life then be …. Happy? (end)

Or to be life then do life …. Easily? (flow)

 

What is the meaning of life?

 

If it has no meaning?

What inspires change?

But the meaning we give movement,

In all directions.

 

Are we the projector or the projected?

 

Do we imagine a future or live in the present?

Do we reap what we sew?

Or sew what we reap?

One takes what is made and moves on,

The other recycles into spirals of growth as an ongoing movement.

 

What is aloneness?

 

Aloneness is to walk alone on one’s own path,

To not go the way of those that follow,

It is to shape change your own path out of the forest of confusion,

It is to find the unknown path and see where it goes,

It is to lead in aloneness,

For on this path there are no followers,

There are no Likes, Comments or smiley faces,

For one is not seeking endorsement,

One is not seeking admirers or lovers or friends,

One is just alone seeking for the unknown,

For this is the path less travelled,

And you can only find it

alone.

 

What do you prefer?

 

I prefer aloneness to company,

For the share-holders want to acquire more,

I wish to live with less,

I do not want assets, trophies or a showcase to prove,

I am in the groove of success,

I prefer to make my own groove,

My own mark,

That leaves no trace,

There are no trace elements,

Only leaves,

Leaf litter accumulates undisturbed,

Protecting the fertile soil of ideas,

It is the earth song that matters,

The human song matters not,

As our world has become unreal.

 

How to live each day?

 

Each day expands towards a new horizon,

Each dawn opens up a new day,

I yawn as it is business-as-usual,

The usual business of take then give,

No fun in the sun when ultra violet rays intensify electromagnetic fields,

I stretch as my imagination is unusual,

For I am looking for what is new.

 

What is different?

A new rhythm that has never been heard,

A new trajectory that has never been traversed,

Perhaps in my dreams I am inventing star maps,

Perhaps in my soul I am a deep impression-ist,

As the sands of impermanence shift and move

as the climate changes,

For only love is real

as undercurrents in an ocean

on tides of emotion shape change

solar flares.

 

Why love?

 

Love is the one song that keeps me strong.


We are on shifting sands….


When sands are shifting this way and that,

Eyes are drifting in nets of greed grabbing for this and that,

Capturing data for unfair advantage,

Capturing sound bytes to listen in and tune out,

Capturing stories with no plight – is this right?

For what is out of sight is unseen,

Across the horizon radar,

Are you are evergreen?

 

Deforesting old growth?

 

For you will never see the trees for the wood heap,

And these trees are old growth,

They are the nature stewards that stoically exist,

As the ancient branches and root of the tree of life,

They have seen civilisations come and go,

For them existence is slow,

As they slow existence to expand time,

1,000 year old fossils are the dinosaurs of life,

For who hears their whispers as chain saws sew what they reap?

Then reap what they sew,

As old growth becomes new timber

to show off to friends and colleagues.

 

Shifting the earth’s mantle?

As new timber becomes a mantle peace,

That shape changes the mantle,

For this is the centre peace of stability,

This is the peacefull centre,

Originating life,

As earth.

 

So will you move with earth changes?

Or change the earth?

Will you keep on with business-as-usual?

Or become unusual and keep on?

For you cannot change from the same consciousness that caused the problem,

You have to learn to think anew,

As never before.

 

For this ship is sinking,

And you are either a heavy carbon weight or a enlighten-ment,

Lightening your footprint to leave no trace elements,

For we must realise harmony is the real blueprint,

That changes the future,

for good.

 

Mohandas Gandhi

“Only as high as I reach can I grow, only as far as I seek can I go, only as deep as I look can I see, only as much as I dream can I be.”
