I see water flowing
bend down to dip my fingertips
wishing for water to cool the embers of my mind
clench my fist to carry it with me
open my hand and nothings there
ill try again
and again
you can go back to the past but nobody’s there
rainer maria rilke, letters to a young poet
During a lecture on epic poetry like the Mahābhārata and Iliad in my first year of college, my professor said, “When the whole world dies, even when brick and mortar is destroyed, memory survives. It survives and lives on in generations to come. And literature carries that memory. All your geography, your economics, your psychology, they’re all based on the memory of man, passed down generations after generations. These epic poems and literature we are studying right now is to remind us that we too will be memories one day. And therefore, let us be good memories” and I think a piece of this lecture will live on in me wherever I go.
coming back to this blog is like entering your abandoned teenage room, I see things that made me who I am today but also see how much I’ve changed and stayed the same. But I think I need to spend some time here just to reconnect, travel back to how things used to be
