What it Means
©April 4th, 2014
By Vijaya Sundaram
To be human
Is to be
Open to life
Open to newness
Open to love
Open to beauty
Open to building
Open to creation
Yet, it can sometimes be
Often so.
It can mean
Being pliant
Giving in
Suppressing need
Caring
Giving
Scattering of self
Nurturing at great cost. And always, it is
For it calls
For tearing down,
Destruction
Undoing
Till, at the end,
All that’s left
Is the kernel of
The original self.
And a whirlwind
Waiting in the wings.
And a field, far, far away
Waiting to receive it.
