A MIXTURE OF NOSTALGIA, INCREDIBLE SILENCE AND MIND READY FOR VIPASSANA


 There is a soothing quality to this silence in the house

It is night outside, the time the hour and the minute does not matter

Some friends are awake and others are asleep

a slight nostalgia 

looking at the faces 

should I not be in Siem Reap for the New Year's Eve?

or wait for the boat to Belle Isle fully wrapped against the elements?

When there is no attachment, there is neither a welcome nor a good bye 

a bitter viet coffee, flavours of a home coomed viet meal 

There are places in Yunnan that I must go 

as the poet would say 

Someone or other is always waiting

may be it is me who is waiting

anxiously 

for someone or other whose name i cannot recollect ..


Yes, the mind is ready for vipassana
