The Seer

We were born into Life; we die into Life.
One day Life tapped me on the shoulder and said,
“Why are you running away from me?”
And I said, “You’re just too boring, too ordinary”,
So I ran to my family and there was Life,
I ran to my business and I met Life,
I ran to my garden and I found Life,
I ran to Shiva (Buddha, Jesus, whoever.) and there stood Life.

Then one day Life tapped me on the shoulder again,
And I turned round and looked into life’s face,
And saw my own,
And then life laughed and said,
“You were me all along”.
