We 

ought to see the hurdles we find on our way towards the

realization of one's self
 
as 

preparatory tests which determine the degree of our fitness 

to 

achieve the goals that have been set for us 

by

the divine Will !

BREAKFAST  AT  HOME



Familiar sounds  from the kitchen  -
Preparatory squeak of cupboard door,
Businesslike clank of pan on stove, water splashing from taps,
Promising chink of plates and cups, rattle of knives and forks,  
Smell of tea brewing and flame-done toast,
Crackle of eggs frying, sizzle of bacon....

The last emperor, February chill, 
Provokes nostalgic lust for summer heat -
My cool companion, Snowman, bittersweet - 
I'll melt in hot embrace, he never will.

One vibrant life with season rapid flow, 
No time for a preparatory draft, 
Recapture every brush of nature's craft - 
And frolic in the sun and in the snow.

Virtuous violets gracefully glide
through the rich soil,
burgeoning intoxication,
the world’s first tantalizing taste
of their demure debutante smiles.

The earth we live in
is a preparatory school
it’s a kindergarten
every human with a slate
to learn the basics of existence
and to mature according to plan
all must sit for promotional tests
only those who pass well
climb the ladder of excellence
failures do not repeat class
they do not remain in society
but are exiled forever
in super-limbo...
