Questions...questions...

"Which was the first drop of water that made the ocean?

Is sami real?

Why does Hanuman have Rama and Sita in his heart? Why is he showing that? Does it mean Rama and Sita are lost?"

-These are a few question samples I get from my 6 yr old - right when we're rushing through our morning rituals to get in time for school. Any insightful answers anybody???

Drifting...

Smetimes thoughts just drift by and sddenly there is a void. You loose track of what you were doing/thinking in that few secs. I don't really know how many have experienced such a state. But trust me - such voids, when we experience - feels kind of good. Consider it quaint, weird...I don't care.

Living a mechanical life most of the time, going through life's chores keeps us from the down time to "sit and stare". So getting into short voids of nothingness - be it through yoga, prnayam, meditation whatever or like me - simple drifting. Like it happened today. i picked up the phone, dialed a number and hit their machine. Suddenly I forgot who I dialed, switched off and just sat there, a be a few seconds. it was blank. With a child playing around me, half way thru cooking - i wa able to experience a quietness. Wow - felt good :)

To think of it the otherway - is my memory deteriorating??? or is it the early sign posts for alzheimers??? No clue. but i liked the quiet, the void, so comforting!!!
