Beyond

 

On the peak of the great cliff of desire, I sat all alone and asked What next?

Is it going to be one more round of jumping from here and coming back all the way up?

When will I ascend the mountain of contentment, I wondered.

Or swim in the deep waters of bliss where no desires seem to exist

What path should I take from here? I kept asking myself as the night dawned.

I looked up at the sky and gazed at the beautiful dark night and basked in the glory of the stars

I looked down and watched the huge sea waves tirelessly hitting the shore again and again

And then I wondered if I was actually sitting on the great cliff of desire or was I somewhere else?

If it were not the great cliff of desire, Why did Siddartha take the huge leap to become Buddha?

Now it's magic started getting deeper into my heart and my gratitude multiplied more than ever

Home seems a long long long miles away but this is where I wanted to stay

May be I will search here for the tree of gratitude and eat its fruits to my hearts content

And then will I have the energy to jump, unprotected, unmindful and take the leap? Just like Siddartha!
