to choose one's own way.

"I realized I was looking at you,
in your visit, through old glasses.
Speaking old words.
Telling old stories.

through the new glasses of current life experiences.
Old friends are precious.

in the currentness of life experiences
and not relegated to the past in which they once lived.

The witnessing soul is like the sky.
The birds fly in the sky but they don't leave any footprints.
That's what Buddha says, that the man who is awakened
lives in such a way that he leaves no footprints.

there is no point. He has lived that moment so totally
that what is the need to look back again and again?
He never looks ahead, he never looks back, he lives in the moment.
