Reality is something else...
Why teach reality?
When we're living in disagreement with reality,
Any failure to coordinate with it
Only makes it more severe.
In the end, it always turns out that
Reality was right all along!
For instance, when our vision of the world is color blind,
And we know of just two colors -
White and black (light and darkness or good and evil),
Reality comes a-calling, carrying a whole bouquet of colors,
To prove how multi-colored this world of ours actually is!
Also, when we a certain that logic is everything,
Reality weaves such labyrinths
That, as logic strides along it's wide boulevard,
The right way becomes concealed by reality
Somewhere behind a dead end.
Which goes to prove that logic alone is not enough -
To move ahead, we also need intuition, luck and many things besides...
And another example - sometimes, when we are certain,
Just certain - nothing more - that everything is ready
And we feel the urge to hit the "Save" button,
The "net" gets shut down.
Or, sometimes, the "net" is in our head,
And we mistakenly hit "Delete".
This is reality, as well - being displeased with something.
"Sisyphean labour" is karma, as well.
I can "see" invisible rooms
Each bearing the name "My World".
In them, many souls sit in solitary confinement,
Hunched over their fear
Because of the fear of reality.
Protecting what they call "My World", lest someone harm it.
Excuse me, but - who needs this world of yours
If it does not match with reality?
With reality, that is the world given to us by God.
And what I want to do the most is to knock
And say - come out of there!
Keep moving - don't stand still!
For, any stone that slumbers in the middle of a field tends to gather the dust of reality.
Don't be afraid - reality is from God!..
That's what reality teaches us -
Everything is from God!
Simply live and savour each moment.
