My way of Being

Honestly speaking

Nothing new to say

all has been said

many many times

But this ritual of writing

is to be followed

It is like 'walking' 

to keep the flow alive

flow of 'saying'

saying that

which makes me feel 

God

Yes,

He is beyond words

Yet

some words behave like a boat

taking me across the

river of illusions 

and once

I am there

pregnant silence embraces me

Joy of having arrived

emerges wordlessly

I long to dissolve

in that moment

where

my identity gets

submerged into His

The more

I look for such moments consciously

the more artificial I become

so

Now 

No search

Just being

and

words are my way of being
