Live & let live. Be & let be...

Live & let live. Be & let be......... Both are becoming a state of being in this life.....I never ever wanted to abdicate this beautiful life bestowed upon us, despite all odds & against all odds. Even when I thought at age 15 or so that becoming a nun was the coolest thing to do. The cosmic question was, how will you ever know anything if you donot live life, here and now..... and around 20, the cosmic question on who is my ideal and wold like to emulate. Gandhi/Nelson Mandela/Buddha.... Well, I said nobody, I would like to live this life and find out who I am. And then this inner voice said, who would you choose, if you had absolutely no choice in the matter. And hands down, it was Buddha who won! and believe me it was a full 16 years or so later that I realised that I have been guided and led by this benign but autocratic or should I say despotic unseen force........in the path of the Buddha. No regrets! I just lived the life........for better or for worse. Feeling thouroughly blessed, despite all odds & against all odds......... I will keep hanging on.......by Simply Red ring a bell? This is one stubborn monkey, on the path of evolution, well hopefully.......what is anything anyway.....live & let live and be & just be.......anyways......ha ha ha
