BREAKING THE CYCLE

I want you to open your eyes and gaze at the paradox of life that always walks with us. As humans, we always hunger for light while running away from darkness. Tell me, what would you do if you were a tree? The first thing is to plunge your root into the deep, dark and moist terrain of the earth. You start from there all the way up, to rise to the sky and drink sunlight with your green and flexible branches. You cannot live deeply by avoiding what is not comfortable. Only by going deeper, we can touch what is mystical and transforming. Life is a magical journey each day if you are ready to look deep enough. To look deep enough means to break the cycle of repetition. What is familiar only strengthens the logical dimension of your existence. It cannot take you to the depth of your inner-most ocean. If you are satisfied with what is known, you move in cycles. It is like walking on the treadmill. The entire world is walking on a treadmill, from one body to another, from one womb to another without leaving the surface. You cannot taste the depth of life by going in circle. At some point, one has to break the cycle and walk like a lion in the woods, relaxed and stable. You are the only one who must start it. Why wait for the next generation? Are you not tired of being stuck in the physical body?
