the quest the name is a choice like feathers who wear white brushed with tinges of grey ~ you are seated inside the deepest depths of icicle lighted caverns the innermost inside of a flower’s unfurled petals like the unborn child inside the mother’s womb inside the hidden lives bliss while on the outside we nervously blink bowing at your lotus-feet craving for strength praying for quietude wishing for calmness found seated on rocks watching the most violent waterfalls land hard like hammer on an anvil and then flow down gently like flower maidens strolling lithely down the dusty village road surrounded in airs of fresh all-season scents of life your perennial disciples are in the wait in the periphery of the river banks hovering around while you reside in the inside looking outside and watching our quest continues with undiminishing fervour ~ somewhere in their own closed quarters students of philosophy continue their debate on what is the meaning of life and where can serenity be found while the unseen gods wait patiently like teachers who know the answers but give their pupils a chance to figure it out for themselves in an open-book examination ~ as the wise elders say the heart of blazing flames holds the coolest zone how one enters there is the path to the conquest ~  |
