How long is life?
Can we actually stretch the minute into years where required? Is there a remote that slows down a day that I don't want to end? Is there a repeat mode into which I can forever live in endless loops?
Why do long journeys make me sad? Why is that the best memories are from times that are past? Is there no software that would help me predict the next best patch in my otherwise short and dreary life? How do I count blessings? Can I remember the smiles of all those wonderful people I might have helped in my own way? Can I store their joy and consume it little by little? Can I use it as my emergency energy bank?
Where is everybody? Why do we, like the ever expanding universe, keep continuously moving away from each other? What happens between birth and death? I have been on this journey a million time before. My friends and my lovers have had the same faces. Even my grandma has come back as one of my neice. So there is a loop right? A longer one than the one I wanted. But a loop there is.
Ah Padbanabha!, The immortal in me strives for escape. Your dwarapalaka awaits your arrival!
Ah, its almost ironic that I am listening to this song: Looking too Closely (Fink) while reading this. Sigh.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful song R. You are missing for longer intervals these days. Hope all is well.
