🌷 Ability To Find Wonder…
Poetess : Tilottama Vijay Lele

Path to d Spiritual wisdom 
Isn’t through pilgrimages to mountains

Mostly people search for wisdom in books
Or Meditation Retreats or from Gurus...

Who're with long beards n longer titles…
While d Li'l teachers R running in circles 

In our living rooms demanding snacks 
Or candies-toys, refusing to wear pants

These tiny humans test our patience,
But about life, they teach us vital lessons

We spend decades trying to rediscover...
By using d method of ' Trial n Error '...

Our soul is healed by being with children
In their presence mind gets refreshened

If we notice they'll be sobbing one minute 
N laughing n giggling in d very next 

While we hold onto grudges for years, 
Children process emotions way better 

They don’t worry about their play-date…
Day-to-day tantrums they don't regret…

All-d-time they're fully invested...
In whatever happening at d very moment

If they find anything new in their Li'l life 
They’ll spend long time examining it

Not because it’s a rare or a special one,
But out of plain curiosity of observation

This ‘presence’ is similar to meditation,
That Gurus charge money for us to learn 

While innocent children do it naturally, 
Showing us how to be ‘involved fully‘…

They ask all sorts of Questions... 
That adults R too afraid of asking... 

They ask Qs without fear of judgment. 
Their curiosity is beyond embarrassment

Path to wisdom is asking Honest Qns
Often even uncomfortable ones. 

Showing us that real understanding, 
Begins with having d courage of asking 

They Find Wonder in d Ordinary…
Adults, while growing lose that capacity 

What we see as mundane, 
Is immensely magical for d Li'l One…

Ability to find wonder in everyday things
Gives experience that’s truly fascinating
