When I was at Kailash

At times I struggle
At times I am at ease
At time I am at ecstasy
At times I am at sleep
But you haunt me always
Who are you?
Are you the truth?
Or
Are you above truth?
Or
If truth is above you
Who are you?
The hands, legs, face and smiles
are deceiving me
The emptiness is what I seek
I want the space
I want the darkness in which I can see you
Who are you?
Are you the rivers, mountains, oceans, winds and sky?
If you are, then the disasters are also you
Who are you?
Are you the kindness, compassion, love and passion?
If yes, then you are also the hatred, anger, jealousy and vengeance
Who are you?
The respect, the blessings and devotion are disturbing me
The decorations are egoistic
The inner you, is attracting me
The inside and outside are jokes
Who are you?
If you are a man then embrace me
If you are a woman breast feed me
If you are a man rape me
If you are a woman abort me
Make me and crush me
Take away this me.
I want to be you and want you to be me.
Who are you?
The search end when I end.

If it is understood as a poem, you have a dare pen at work, if it is understood as a expression of deeper meditation..its so new to listen from a women..as there are far less womens have(or i have known) expressed the outcome of deeper instincts expelled thro meditation, though i dont understand it..i get a sense of feel! Good-Admire it!

Yes, it was an expression of my meditation, not just the meditation...but my feeling after experiencing something deep when I was in Mt. Kailash few months ago.

when you experience something deep..i always believe that one should share it with others...yes it might not even convey 10% of what u went thru. but still it might give a glimpse of ur exp..so that people will know there are unexplored parts of life and spirituality.

I dont why women dont express their feelings or experiences which r very personal. Some where they r afraid that they would be judged or discriminated or excluded if they show their inner side. I just dont care about it..:)

theera...catch you in email soon. things r very busy here...but stil i try to spend time for small things and friends.
