One sees, and wants to name...
What is it about us
That wishes and rushes to identify and define?
Is it our physicality that merits a definition;
Or is it the mind's eye trapped in the physicality?
Wonder how would it be in a world without names...
Would we blend and grow with abandon
For there would be none to call us small;
Would we love and merge with no boundaries
For there would be none to outline borders;
Would we see perspicaciously that we are one
For there would be none that is named God...
One does not know, for this is a world with names
Perhaps we hope that our names are the pathway to God.
That Name, which encompasses existence
And non-existence too,
For in naming, we acknowledge the un-named.
In this realm of names
Our journey seems to start with being the named
To claiming that in us which is un-named.
The named and the nameless indulge in the cosmic dance
Merging, dividing... Orchestrating the orgasm that is life
Till the named surrenders
The nameless graciously consumes
To birth another symphony
To be dedicated to yet another name...

Very interesting thoughts.. makes me wonder whether man can live without boundaries, for after all he has created them himself. I read somewhere that everything that exists has a purpose, wonder whether definitions and boundaries have a real purpose, and if they do what is it..!
Very interesting thoughts..makes me wonder whether man can live without boundaries, for after all he has created them himself. The concept of 'the self' is also intriguing.
I read somewhere that everything that exists has a purpose and reason for it's existence, I wonder whether boundaries and definitions have a real purpose. And if they do what is it..
