June gloom…
June gloom weather… makes me wanna just crawl into my ‘cave’ and meditate… trying to escape uncertainty… being the only constant unchanging feature in life… it dawns on me that the only way out aint pretty or any less painful than where I am right now 😉
It’s probably going to be more like Mirabai (the most renowned woman poet saint of India, her songs sung by Hindus, Muslims, and Sikhs alike) writes, funny and to the point…
Is all that God stuff real?
Girls, think twice before inviting God near.
His charms will turn you into a slave––– are you ready for such
a wonderful bondage?
What if your human lover is just about ready to insert
a pulsating mass into your forest
and rain there;
what if just as he/she enters
––– your hear His flute
calling.
could you run outside in a second, naked, and ready for
the world to make fun of you;
for who can really see Him.
Everyone would think you are worshiping a mirage.
And what if He asked you to give all your gold bangles
and fine clothes to the next
beggar you see?
Giving him our clay (our body) to shape is one thing,
for this can excite us,
but when our jewelry and silk are at risk
surely it is time to seriously ask
is all this God stuff––––
real?
