Loka Samasta Sukhino Bhavantu

ask me not grand questions

on the purpose and meaning of life

and existence, I do not know,

not a thing more than you,

seeking the essential facts of life

to the thick woods I have been

and the seas and deserts

spanning horizons; wisdom

of the recluses sought:  

know the happiness of being-

as I am just happy to be here

on earth, in the humdrum of being 

breathing, just breathing

in the glory of all creation

freeing myself from the mundane

burden of existence

breathe, breathe, seek nothing

or seek as much you wish

but return to

the happiness of just being-

live, love, laugh

in time

pass away

proffering a wish,
always and ever:

‘Loka Samasta Sukhino Bhavantu’

'Loka Samasta Sukhino Bhavantu' ~ the Swasthi Vachanam which translates as: ‘May happiness be unto the world’

Me in a Yogic mood?

Not exactly, this is a modified response to a query by one of my students as to what I think is ‘the essential fact of life’….Guess what – it was a class that discussed scientific advancements by man. 

With children…that’s it…You just never know from where to where it goes…
