We are all astronauts!




He is stepping out
All of humanity behind
Earthly Hangover setting in
He steps in on the spaceship
Spaceship of his mind
He closes his eyes

There is nothing to worry about
There is nothing left
There is no one to call to
There is no one to remember
There is everyone to miss
He closes his eyes

He breathes heavy
The thoughts come swirling
The memories they cry
They rule
They tell him
They control him
He gives up
It is when he knows he is flying

He is lifted up
Suddenly a peace carries him
Heaviness it disappears
A peace like nothing before
He is amazed
Its heavenly
And at once
He is blown

Thrifted upwards suddenly
Taken above
Flying at an ever growing speed
Pulled upwards
In the kaledoscope of changing
Space and time they dissolve
He looks around
Ladders that seem endless
Visions he never saw before
Elevators that keep passing
Screaming with voices that are not clear
Landscapes that are from another world
But suddenly is jolted to a stop
Complete silence
Everything freezes in that instance

Darkness steps in
He doesn’t know
how long its been
A faint beam of light calls him
It pulls him slow
He flies No air No friction No thoughts No resistance
Spreads his whole being
Suddenly it is everywhere
Light all over

That’s when he knows
He is out of his body
He suddenly comes to life
He can smell of earthly mud
The rush and the confusion, he remembers
Comes to the real world

Like the dream he comes out
Shaking and sweating his eyes open
Without the words to explain
He realises
That the world in never same
He realises
We are all astronauts

Medicina, Medicina!

  Art by Luis Tamani, link below! All the emotions suppressed,  What happens as the layers reveal one by one?  As the events unfold  The truth undigested  The past in front of you like a mirror.  How long can you sustain a smiling face?  Doesn't it get tired after a little while?  A little lapse and you’re in the same loop once more.  The thin line between the worlds  Once the box is open there is no going back?  Or do you?  Hidden underneath your suppressed voices. It's the stories of the cultures. The cries of the civilizations  Thriving in the whispers  What do you do?  When strangers cross their paths?  Who is the first to initiate the contact?  Or who is the one who feels the need to?  So you see it is the stories of the cultures. All the emotions suppressed.  The thin line between the worlds  A little lapse and you're in the same loop once more.  How is it any different?  ...

Let me graze in my space..will you?

Panchpokhari, November 2021 Let me graze in my space  Leave me at peace And all will be well!  As it is supposed to be But then you want trouble Everyone wants trouble, no?  Don’t you? Not that they are wanted  But they come chasing anyways Somewhere around the bend Just when all the troubles were away Simply following the lead  Leads coming from wherever  Who knows  But there was a perfect day  No it was a perfect shade No no it was perfect time No no it was the air  The loss of sense of time  Or was it the dimness of the sun  Sitting by the foothills  All the stress magically dissolved away  Comfort sinking in even if for a bit  As coincidences coincide  It is a time when you can rejoice in simply being Participation mystique they say  But it is true what it is that they say  Yes let me graze in my space  Leave me at peace And all will be well!  As it is supposed to be But then you want trou...

My first Qigong and Taichi Session!

  Luna in the middle followed by us practitioners on the sides! I was first surprised to find Taichi and Qigong public events at Couchsurfing. Even though not sure what to expect I decided to try it out because I have somehow always been appealed by the Taoist Philosophy. Having seen Taichi and Qigong flow movements in the movies and popular culture, I wanted to give it a try without a second thought. Thanks to the free session hosted by Luna and Nayeem! I visit Nagarjun forest/hill/region whenever I feel too clogged in the life within Kathmandu's hustle and bustle. The Nepal Yoga Home is located at the foothills of Nagarjun and at a picturesque location. In a way it is quite a place to host Taichi as well. Luna and Nayeem greeted me with gentleness and their warm presence. First off, Luna’s choice to practise outdoors was perfect. The fresh air outside was welcoming. And the view to the valley in the distance is a blessing in disguise. Even though I was the only one to show up at ...
