Stages of Life - Begin With Thinking - Part 1

Stages of life - Part 1 Begin with thinking ! Begin with thinking - there is no other way, as it meanders along in that self-induced sway. Go with the flow and resist not a moment, staking doer-ship and onus, spares only a lament. A journey that commenced without thy knowledge or will, bloomed and blossomed in 'that' tranquil calm and still! Emerges with a squeal, - perhaps a way to announce, "here I am" hoping on my way out - I don't denounce! 'Institutional indoctrination' seems an order of the day, attempts are made to learn on what to think on, in "time's way"! Rarely does one stumble upon, "how to think on 'think'?" Can inherited or borrowed knowledge sustain life in the pink? Burden of imposed likes and dislikes - unabated as I grow, laden weight - nudges and pushes for or against the flow. If I think in the right course, I surge from past and ahead, if allowed to dwell in - I will be drowning and by now 'dead'. Mindless and thoughtless - first quarter of my life goes past! Helpless and gasping to grasp some sense of all that was lost. It's time to bury them as memories and to get down to gather, peripatetic endless search, in this self-induced smother. ....Contd....as Part 2
