Boredom

 

Sleepy

Sluggishy

Boredom

Sometimes I am too bored

to do anything,

that even the task of “thinking”

appears to me to be too taskful a thing to do.

 

But soon enough, I begin to realize

that this is also the place

where that familiar old tune

starts to ring in my ears,

calling me

to re-discover my lost zing for life;

to pay attention to re-building my old wings.

 

And this is where

the sleepy, sluggishy,

energy of boredom

slowly begins to alchemize itself

rising upwards into an energy

of clarity, meaningfulness and goal.

 

Most of us humans

tend to think that

the feeling of boredom is bad.

Or, we tend to skip it, escape it,

or run away from it,

because it feels too heavy to bear.

Or perhaps, we feel afraid

of becoming bad, useless or unworthy totally.

 

Howsoever, if we pay close attention,

we will realize

that boredom is not the lack of energy

Rather, it is the excess of energy

Our mind is taking some time

to make space for receiving

this huge fresh energy

from the universe.

 

And sooner,

we will start feeling

excited, replenished,

and ready to start again.

But first,

we need to just sit back

and let our mind to make space

and complete the essential

background processes.

 

Do not run away

from the feeling of boredom.

Be still, and consume it

like a ravishing beast.

Because that’s who you are.

 

And then,

dance baby dance

oh ho ho yeah yeah!
