I'm still confused about growing up.
What, when, why, and how
Are we talking about maturity?
Naturally, it starts with a womb. I mean, growing up.
You should understand the gentle reminder, “What are you going to do in the future?”
Don’t be irresponsible. attend every class in elementary school.
You're in middle school; act like an adult.
Now that you are a high schooler, you might plan for higher studies.
You are in higher studies; prepare for jobs.
Congrats on your job! You should settle in as fast as you can.
You're so fortunate; you've already settled. Why aren't you married?
Wow… what a beautiful couple! Why not, baby?
Bright children, what about their future?
Wait ! Are you still a child? Your children are already married.
When will you grow up?
…………
Why do people still die without growing?
Why do you want to grow?
Why did we forget about living in this process of growing?
Why don’t you let the child breathe, smile,or just play a bit?
Even in 30, 40, or 50 years, why not 60?
Can't we grow with aliveness?

expanding in joy
contracting in pain
then seeming nonchalance
evidently hypocritical
so what then may we say
about desire and aversion
trickling dawn to subtle levels
processed by in-form consciousness
held captive by samskaras (tendencies)
regulated by gender and culture
if instead we celebrate bondage
recognising what it offers
which would be otherwise impossible
then the dance uninhibited
within the prescribed perimeter
enlivens the continuum
with its uniqueness

Our passion is stillness, entwined with oneness
Moment to moment, all moments so entwined
Vibrancy of thought rested energised silence
Embracing and releasing flow of life with joy
Transfixed in bliss borne of divine magnetism
Bringing to life hitherto dormant nerve centres
All dancing in unison to the music of the spheres
~ as we outpour our pure intent into the vast void
Our passion is stillness, in vibrancy of blissfulness
Sans ego craving, hollowed out form, a love mist
Simply present as a receptor of energy sublime
Imbibed by soul and reflected by mind-body
Vaporised self impulsed by resonation of bliss
Celebrating aliveness propelled by God’s breath
At play both within and around our expanding aura
~ as we outpour our pure intent into the vast void

screen of awareness, eternal
present within, Gods miracle
why then do we flounder about
indulging in bout after bout
silence makes our freedom simple

When
awake
we discern,
using free will,
whilst during our sleep,
our response instinctive,
acts as of reflex fulcrum,
signalling that we should uplift
our consciousness by awakening,
with awareness unbroken at all times.
Once our waking state, thought rested silence,
witness consciousness feels each impulse
in time stretched stillness, thus tranquil,
slipping into deep sleep mode
retaining our free will,
with no more stupor
slowing down life,
enabling
us to
be.

Hermit! Embrace, hold and release with ease
Allow vibrant bliss within to renew
Flowing with nonchalance; a gentle breeze
Hermit! Embrace, hold and release with ease
Recognise ego as cause of disease
Each moment pristine, like the morning dew
Hermit! Embrace, hold and release with ease
Allow vibrant bliss within to renew

Intimate and immediate
Our innate, joyous aliveness
As to each life throb, we gyrate
Moments forging bliss completeness
Transfixed thus in joyful parlance
Beauteous rainbow in full view
Rapture titillates sentience
Vivification thus renews

Aliveness innate, all else illusion
Mind body, an earth interface transient
Bliss renews within, without cessation
Joyous rapture, our native element
Externalised self, deaf to the current
Mired in feral thought patterned stagnation
Dead man walking, being not here present
Aliveness innate, all else illusion
Tranquil silence, our orientation
Devoid of ego borne gross sediment
Wisdom garnered in deep meditation
Mind body, an earth interface transient
Unconditional love, joy sentiment
The omnipresent divine vibration
For the pure of heart, like the moon crescent
Bliss renews within, without cessation
Within our heart, unending ignition
The joyride amidst rose petals fragrant
Climax in renewal, bliss elation
Joyous rapture, our native element
Living life simply, choosing the pleasant
With hues of love, thus in resonation
Surrendered acceptance mode of ascent
One with the oneness of Gods creation
Aliveness innate

Residing in
Abiding by
Joy ignition
Love sighs
That that is
Innate within
Elixirous fizz
Bliss ignition
Thisness now
Definitiveness
Why ask how
Our aliveness
Each moment
A wonderment
Our joy quotient
In enhancement
Flowing thus
In inner stillness
Without fuss
One with Oneness

Moon morning mean at dawning by
with wrest winter the field tree
great ground glances from any posted are
revels reface refuse, not heaven
deny deeply delight, not of birds’ sings
melody must mix with the dawning
Souls by eminent feeling are aliveness.
