Sign of the Times

Can you see the Sign of Times as I see? From where I see, the world seems to be stuck in one place, not making any progress…or if anything, it seems to be moving with handbrakes on but it’s definitely not making the rapid & huge strides forward as is normally touted. It can’t, because the Minds are not. Here’s what I see…

Youth of today…with a mind of its own, reaching out to the unprecedented boundaries, riding the developmental springtide, blooming & waving in the winds of change…with their values firmly & proudly rooted in the "temple" backyards. The fashion icons, the speakers of their mind, the balanced Individuals…the wearers of holy chants, the singers of Hare Krishna and Ya Ali (redemption is fashionable & fast!!), the "fusion" breed.

Balanced - Belting out effortlessly the cool and hip lingo, ‘the muthafuckas’ on the outside…AND…basking in reassuring glory of the "Oh-my-Gods" inside…and of course, in between there lies a cleansing layer of "conscience" doubling up as an impenetrable shield to their "compassionate heart". The glowing faces lit by confidence, the unshakable confidence cemented by "faith". Faith is still the granted thing as breath. Touching it with "Reason" is still "blasphemy".

The mature, the wise, they talk sense…AND…are frequently wounded by logic but then uplifted by "spirituality". The super slick go-getters, the system changing revolutionaries, the wannabe rebels…the office-politicos, the "practical" beings…all bustling with energy, ever so sure of what they want…AND…all praying silently to their "Gods", all waiting for the day when their "souls shall be freed".

The Intellectual streak, the Philosophical bent...sadly & mostly end up implying the blinkers of supposed-to-be (but somehow impossible to BE), the strait-jackets of conditioned brains, the inevitable thresholds of set mentality.

The Youth, with a Mind of its own. The Evolution, with the pace of its own!

Do you see the Sign of the Times as I do?
