all we have are flowers br and water and earth and fire br when we die; br and all our certainties br and revelations and beliefs and theories br are but hopes, wishes, desires br suppositions repeated and possibilities… br br br and all our lives we do not see what is before us br what presents itself br but choose to color everything br with our received formulations br with our conditioning br our conceptions and systems br with an approach to life, br so that we are dead even alivebr br Raj Arumugambr br
