The Insignificant Animal

It is ok.
It is ok to just exist.
It is ok to not succeed
It is ok to not achieve
It is ok to not have a job
It is ok to not have too much money
It is ok to live life
It is ok to be happy by just being

Cos that's how we were meant to be!
It is us, humans who
Started off as an atom or two
Who was no different
From the chimpanzees, the baboons, the elephant!
Who spoke no complex language
Who bothered not to write down anything
Left nothing but paw prints on the earth
Went around for food searching

The same humans who,
Are now proud of the things we do.
The things that led to us
Defining our own acts
Leaving no longer prints of our feet,
But those of carbon in repeat.
The same acts that now makes us differentiate
Between us and others
Amongst ourselves
Within ourselves
We have our highs and lows
Of greater and lesser mortals
Where we no longer remember where we came from
What we did, What we didn't

When life was one
Living beings were all the same
The earth was beautiful and abundant
Providing for every species without a name

Who were You? Who was I?
We were all specs of dirt that came by
Brought together by nature
To be one with it in future

We have no identity, no we don't.
We are but sparks of energy that survive till we won't.

Today has been a day of gifts!!!! And I've been doing a happy dance since morning! Infact it started last night when a much awaited amount of money hit our account and then I got a discount in an order I placed with a grocer! Today, I was a little upset about something from last night and was in question of how can I change it. The awareness I received was "What can I be grateful for here?" and I knew right away! That changed my mood to a bouncy one and we left home to pick up some stuff. Right then, I received a pending amount from someone and they chose to send a round off, making me the beneficiary! I was glowing in that, when she also offered me an unmatchable offer on her classes! So much gratitude! While I was just jumping with joy at that, the local coconut vendor decides to give us a discounted price on the tender coconuts; just for us! On our way back home from there, I was elated and literally shouting "Thank you Universe!!!!!" and at the n...

All that I don't want to

As I struggle with self love As I struggle to love the one I look in the mirror As I struggle to look at a fast changing face, a quickly ageing body As I struggle to come to terms with beauty as we see it As I struggle to come to terms with the abyss I seem to be getting pushed into Time n again, rising like the Phoenix I long back chose to be I write to express I write to cry it out I write to address My deepest pains n vent it out I write in creative expression Of all that I can’t express... ...And all that I don’t want to
