I am not Buddha
Far from the Bhodi Tree
2,000 years from that time
Struggling to know who I am
Why I am here
What direction in which to travel?
I am a just a human being
Fighting off demons
Walking, at times, in fear
Sensing remnants of other lives
I am not Buddha
I’ve obligated myself to others
Taken on worldly responsibilities
Searched for words of explanation
Felt failure
I get angry
Emotions overtake me
I suffer from indignation
Prehistoric defensiveness
Manipulated by Life
I am not Buddha
If I were
I would have more wisdom
Clarity
I would be “at one”
Free of all attachments…Yes?
Able to accept all with grace…of course!
Venture into the ether with serenity…absolutely.
I would be fearless, open, bold…no doubt
I am not Buddha…
But I am learning.
You may not be Buddha, but you have insight and enlightenment working for you. Go easy on yourself. Great words you've written.
Vagaries of emotions in different phases of a human being vividly quoted.nice thanks
