The Journey

The visible part of the river,
visible to the people on the surface,
flows in a single direction
towards the ocean,
which also has a fixed location.
What about the part
that overflows the banks?
or the one that oozes through the soil
towards parched roots?
The first is a worldly journey
with beginnings,direction, destination,
rate of flow, success, failure et all.
The other is a spiritual journey
in which all these are merged
into a seamless oneness.

Existence is much more than
what the senses can gather.
