Cloudy morning after many sunny, hot ones…cloudy thoughts…a cup of tea to try and clear them up…
Quintessential thoughts run up my mind:
- why “sleep”?
- is “sleep” the real sleep, or is being awake the real “sleep”?
- does “sleep” as in dictionary terms merely refer to a physical state? what about the state of the mind? while we awake, we still are asleep to the million unforgiving things happening around us…
Some primal questions we have failed to understand; then another though streams by – channel surfing and watching the “2012″ movie for a few minutes; cannot help but wonder when there are such primal things which we have not been able to unravel, we try to fathom the end of world, the universe. Civilizations that have predicted this to be so have not been able to foresee the downfall of their own civilizations…yet we try to reason why things will happen as we think them to be…
Yet another thought channels by, why struggle to create order around us? Why fight to bring things under control? We humans are, but an arrogant subset of species trying to bring about an order to everything we put our minds to, while within ourselves we wage a war against the many myriad of emotions – of wants, of desires, of love and of hate; yet we ignorantly go about trying to bring entropy outside of us…how long will this last? just like the Zen master’s tea-cup story - how long can you keep pouring tea into a cup without drinking from it and still expect the table to be clean? all this over a cup of tea…
