The mystery of life isn’t a problem to solve but a reality to experience.
Frank Herbert
Life is a story
of mountains and valleys, of darkness and light,
of rainbows after thunder, of fairies and demons.
It is full of mystery and mysticism.
We do not know what the next chapter holds.
The author of our destiny has it all planned.
Should we roll in the roller coaster of apprehensions and fears?
Or should we take each day as it comes,
tending to our worldly responsibilities?
Or should we detach and live with the sanctity of Buddha?
The curtains would drop for all one day.
But, while in this life, should we let the performance go on?
Or should we wrap-up
in the apprehensions of the life’s epilogue?
What would the story be then?
Life will then be just the blank pages
if the thrill of mystery and mysticism is missing.
