David wrote this poem from Oregon in a moment of thinking and feeling into his travels in India.
India!
Full of paradoxes, and teaming with Life.
An ancient Wisdom that resonates with the Building Blocks of Existence of itself!
A vibration, rooted in a wind-like flow that is as muddied as it is pure.
India! Your many competing smells, somehow living in harmony!
India!
Where fires ablaze for millennia!
Reclaiming millions of bodies along a single river,
And in the same city, a tiny temple where the music never stops.
Devotion to Creation 24/7,
As Forever as Time itself.
India!
Where I met my wife!
And Mother Creation embraces all as her true children.
India!
Modern and ancient side-by-side,
Many dimensions dancing in unison,
Yet paradoxically, reflecting Duality.
India!
Where it is easy to seize the moment, as there seems to be nothing else.
And nothing, ultimately, seems so serious.
India!
Where a beggar can be respected as a wise-man.
India!
Forgiving all the many sins that have been laid upon it.
India!
Where there is a vibration of Bliss that sits patiently,
For any who surrender to an acceptance of Life;
And reverence for the Magic of the Mystery.
