Harmfuls Unrelenting



A single mosquito bites, smashed to death.
Many others bite and escape,
Some continue to harass.

Is killing the solution to the bite?
When countless ones cause harm,
Powerless to stop them, I'm left with little choice
but to retreat.

Escaping into a net is our reality,
as annoyances and atrocities persist.
Often, I silently suffer,
bearing the weight of the day.

In the face of many injustices,
I'm reminded that sometimes,
there's little I can do
except find solace in my own sanctuary.

    This is a lamentation of the annoyed mind persecuted by various enemies.The peacelessness/ restlessness caused by the menacing pesecutors is not is to come out from.What disturbs us can be an insect.That can be killed and we can remain undisturbed.Or simply we can find a protective mechanism like a mosquito net and rest there inside peacefully for a while.But what disturbs us and create peacelessness is the ruffled mind.What is that we can do to escape from this?No refuge...no cave...no asylum...can extricate us from the problems created by the disturbed mind.

I drift apart, I struggle to reclaim my wholeness. Am I one or many? The centrifugal forces of life seem to fragment me, threatening to shatter my essence into countless pieces. Yet, I yearn to integrate, to reunite with my true self. The pool of my soul is overflowing with tears, emotions, turmoil, and provocations, punctuated by moments of cessation and termination. To navigate this tumultuous landscape, I must summon immense strength and resilience. I must cultivate the discernment to distinguish essence from excess, allowing only the vital to remain. Amidst the tumult of diverse forces, I grapple with the paradox of rejecting impermanence while clinging to the transitory. My dessiderata, those deeply desired and cherished aspirations, are at war with the unwanted and the mundane, leading to a maze of miscalculations. Amorphous forms emerge, reflecting the turmoil within. Is this yearning or mere craving? I seek clarity in the midst of chaos. What do I truly need? Not fleeting comfo...

In my garden, I found several broken stone pieces scattered, each bearing its unique shape and form. Among these stones, one caught my attention. I had recently come across a quotation online that resonated deeply with me: "In the end, we all become stories." This thought lingered, compelling me to consider how each life, if understood and articulated well, could indeed be a compelling story. I often found that my shared experiences didn’t always elicit the response I hoped for, while gossip about me seemed far more intriguing. Inspired, I decided to transform the stone into a keepsake bearing the profound quote. After cleaning it meticulously, I used liquid paint to inscribe the words. My vision was to frame this stone in a unique yet economical way. Fortunately, I found a carpenter willing to take on this unusual task. I even bundled in a few other odd jobs for him. However, when the job was completed, my excitement turned to disappointment. While fixing the stone into the ...
