Life & Beyond : THE MUNDANE

The best way to know the self is feeling oneself at the moments of reckoning. The feeling of being alone, just with your senses, may lead you to think more consciously. More and more of such moments may sensitize ‘you towards you’, towards others. We become regular with introspection and retrospection. We get ‘the’ gradual connect to the higher self we may name Spirituality or God or just a Humane Conscious. We tend to get a rhythm again in life. We need to learn the art of being lonely in crowd while being part of the crowd. A multitude of loneliness in mosaic of relations! One needs to feel it severally, with conscience, before making it a way of life. One needs to live several such lonely moments. One needs to live severallyalone.

THE MUNDANE

Looking off the window,

Talking to the distant thoughts,

Eyes fixed far in the absence,

As it is has become so everyday,

Like this moment,

As was the other day,

Reminding the windows,

The mundane opens in the life

Looking off the window,

I see the mundane on the go,

I read its presence,

As I did the last day,

As I get it into the moment now,

Telling me the other side of life,

The mundane so naturally builds,

For us to remain us, men of this world

Looking on the window,

Trying having sensed the expanse,

Looking to feel again,

As if I’ve travelled the distance,

To be one with my that ‘Self’,

When the mundane ‘Self’ sounds arguing,

Like it happens sometimes,

Pushing me to look inside the window

Looking on the window,

I dig down deeper as thoughts converse,

Not knowing the abyss of the creeper,

Nerves seem to cry from beneath,

Recollections flash upon that inward eye,

Reflections reconcile for that soliloquy,

When the calm feels vacant and pensive,

When solipsism gets talking and restive
