Stop.

Bundle up all the things in my life and take it away. I don’t want it.
All the noises and sounds in the background
The cricket match going on
This beautiful home I live in
My dear cat and girlfriend
All the things I’m grateful for
My pursuit of enlightenment and truth
All the material things I aspire for
All the qualities I’m praised for
All these projects and responsibilities
WhatsApp, Instagram and YouTube. My so called followers
All my good health and dis-ease
The quest for self improvement and good habits
Notions of being special, desire to make it big. All my ambitions
My anger, fatness, depression. All my shortcomings
The “not good enough” monster
The need for silence
Freedom and suffering. I want none of it
Life or death, I don’t want either
Tiredness or vitality. I am done with both
Ego and egolessness. I’ve had enough
Neither the “who am I” enquiry
This mind
These thoughts
Sugar cravings
Sleep. Social media. Any escape
The discipline against escape
I don’t want any of it
Please end the show. Stop
Cut cut cut.
Pack up and go home
I just want to go home.

Where is home?

(This may be a good post but that wasn't the point 🤦🏻‍♂️)
