Things I learned today...

In Irish,
they don't say "I am sad"
rather, "Sadness is on me"
and it made an impression,
giving insights, about ourselves.

Why do we identify,
give power to our emotions,
when these are temporary,
bound to change, with time.
Our feelings are fleeting,
be it joy or our sadness,
fluctuating every day,
depending on the situations...

So, why keep the burden,
ruminate on these reactions,
when we could let it pass by,
while maintaining our composure.
For, we are a sentient being,
with awareness, of our nature,
having the power to choose,
what to retain or letting go.

At another time...
We would feel different,
as our sentiments change,
when things do resolve,
or we evolved, to a higher stage.
Where our attachments vanishes,
we connect, to our consciousness,
being blissful, finding peace within,
untouched, by our fleeting feelings.
