A baby goat was grazing on the slopes…
Free of any thought
Free of any burden
Free of any attachment
The moment for the baby goat
Was her and the green grass
Only they two existed for her.
The baby goat unaware of her past or future
Was in bliss
In ecstasy …
Enjoying every bit of the green grass
She was unaware the winter would come in a few months…
She was unaware of the wolves that lived near by…
She was unaware of them all…
At the moment, it was only the green slopes full of green grass
The herdsman saw her in bliss…
And felt a touch of jealousy
He too hoped not to think of his future
Which he could not control anyway…
And forget the past as well, which too he could not change…
He saw her grazing and said to himself…
This moment, now…
My present is so blissful, so full of positivity, so full of love..
The sun is not so harsh
The herd is grazing..
I am too lying on the cushioned grass..
Staring at the trees..
Eating the mangoes that I have collected..
In spite of knowing,
My present is soooo beautiful
Why I’m not in bliss
Like that baby goat…
Why I cry over my past
Or sweat over the coming future…
As, these words were running through his head…
He noticed, the baby goat stopping and as she looked around
She said, “meee hhh meehhhh.” In bliss
And went back to grazing the green grass.
