Lord Indra's Web
Buddha said: "As a net is made up of a series of ties, so everything
in this world is connected by a series of ties. If anyone thinks
that the mesh of a net is an independent, isolated thing, he is
mistaken. It is called a net because it is made up of a series of
interconnected meshes, and each mesh has its place and
responsibility in relation to other meshes." Perhaps there are more black holes in the universe than visible
stars, each one smaller than our moon, like little black pearls,
radiant. And beyond the event horizon, inside, ANOTHER BIG BANG
expanding space-time continuum; BUDDHAS awakening, Christ childs in the manger, young Krisnas playing
their flutes.Perhaps there are many black holes, each with a big bang universe
inside.And inside that universe, and other black holes, other Universes,
all tucked one inside the other; worlds within worlds, universes
within universes.The Universe of universes is Indra's web; each crossing of the web
has an eye which sees all the other eyes.: ====================== Liked and agree with the subject 100%. But I would try and rework
this piece a bit more and make it a classic!! Looks like a piece
which flowed on paper...or is it a keyboard...A very good first
draft, but certainly should be worked on. Shiva(a poem posted at www.sulekha.com)Innernet versus internetAs I was speeding down the freeway
In rush hour traffic to go to work that day
I was talking to the person at the wheel
Telling him about the way I feel
He was engrossed in digital thoughts
This was afterall the generation of dotcoms
Where people are preoccupied with the internet site
And surf the world wide web when they have respite While they forget about the web they weave
And how their family and love they leave
To go after success in ecommerce
And develop some remote resource
The cobwebs of the mind still remain
Even though some obscure field they may redefine
While search engines are at the tip of their finger
Their childrens birthdays they have to search their memory to remember
This makes me ponder
What makes one a winner
Is it knowing the world wide web to a tee
Or is it the way you weave the web of life
To feel unburdened and free.
