Random Thoughts !!!

What is life all about? Is it about acquiring or is it about releasing? Is it about movement or is it about stillness? Am I an island or am I a node in a network? Is life about rigidity or is it about perspective? What is happiness? Is it a transient feeling or a state of permanence? How can one define it? When I say I am happy what am I actually saying? Am I saying that everything is under control or am I saying that control is not an issue? What do relationships mean to me? Am I just me or a product of my relationships? What does security mean to me? Does loneliness scare me? What does approval mean to me? Do I feel deprived without it or does my concept of self allow me to truly be myself without needing approval?

As I ask myself these questions today, I wonder, and I am grateful that I can wonder - As I reach out to the core of myself, I feel like a seeker and a novice, approaching life with flexible boundaries, allowing myself to wander in the stillness of life where beauty and love abound - where I just am, just being, waiting and yet realizing that there is nothing to wait for, that the present is now, and all that can happen is happening now...already..

I feel like sharing this moment with all of you - and hope that you will share your moments with me... and together let us connect to be all that we can, all that which is possible, all that and more...

Random comments - Very few dare / manage to go ( that too in India, rooted to reality )into the realms of the unknown, the less travelled path, upstream, open ended ?, etc.
Those who do, are either prodigies, enlightened ones, blues,
The more know, the more u feel that u know just pebbles on the seashore, the more u thirst for knowledge in its real sense, the more u r at risk of being branded as eccenteric,
But by then the path has become a path of no return, u have become 'different', oblivious of ur current fads, must haves, etc.
U have dared to place ur feelings bare on the table, a very bold but risky venture.
I really admire ur thoughts tethered to the ground by a really long lash.
All the best,
Hope u manage to achieve most of ur expectations in ur lifetime alongwith an appreciative / supportive spouse, so that others sitting on the fence can dare to go ur path, with somewhat higher chances of the mind's n heart's labor being rewarded.
