Eternity…. by Atul Singh




A piece of eternity, is eternity still

like love is, I suppose

can a part of anything, ever be

less than the whole


is a drop of water not wet

or a singular ray, not light

is a patch of sky, less than itself

can infinity be, little or more?


is the piece of Divinity in us

not The Divine Mother herself

through the entire Existence

who projects herself forth?


can something that wasn’t

ever be?

can something that is

not be anymore?


or, do we drift on a raft

on the river of time

and what is and isn’t are just

our shifting gaze upon the shore


maybe everything that ever will be,

always was

and nothing really 

comes or goes


maybe our senses

play tricks upon us

walking us through a maze

they themselves put forth


can something that wasn’t

ever be

can something that is not 

exist anymore?

can anything quite, ever be

less than the whole

    This isn't conjecture is it, its an epiphany, arrived at after years of, or who knows maybe many lifetimes worth of pondering :-) everything that can ever be , already is...can you write more, can we maybe write more on this?

  R2R2R.. Too many Rs in there? Naah!! that’s how we roll. Rim to Rim to Rim is what a red-blooded adventure really looks like.  Take the most dramatic, unique, visually-imposing, iconic landscape anywhere in the world; combine it with the arduous nature of a 50 mile hike, add 11,000 feet of ascent and descent; block 24 hours from your “oh so busy” schedule; throw in a couple of grown up kids that never want to grow up, put on a tight backpack with necessasities, lace up your dancing shoes and you have the makings of an adventcha!!! one that will get seared onto your memory and soul for eternity.  That’s what happened to us. Really it did, when we decided to hike back and forth from South Rim of Grand Canyon to North Rim and back, in one shot. The basic construct of Rim to Rim to Rim hike is quite simple actually. Start early morning, climb/run down to Phantom Ranch, about 10 miles; refill water, have a bite, make it to Manzanita Ranch about 8 ish miles away, recharge som...

It’s all backwards by Atul Singh

  We see it all the time. It’s all backwards. More often than not, what is evident is the exact opposite of reality. The most violent traditions ever, scream their lungs out about being the vanguards of peace. The biggest empty suit and loudest opining person at a social gathering is the one who makes the least sense. The most vigorously virtue signaling social or political entity, is often the most un-empathetic, self-serving, intolerant of divergent opinions. The most “God fearing” men often cause the harshest violence in their homes, in nature and to other beings. It is hard to miss. Pretty much anything worn on the sleeve including kindness, politeness, empathy, goodness, confidence, intelligence often turns out to be a facade. A well worn cloak to hide the the true identity, which is exact opposite of the pretend one. It is a method to drive an ulterior motive, of the religious, social, political or profiting kind. In case of our understanding of the nature of reality, similar...
