The Boy Who Becomes….
For and inspired by Advait
by Smriti Raj (Firdaus) Mumma Dolly
He held the needles and weaved through the woollen loops,
He embroidered the peregrine falcon on his tee tightened on wooden hoops,
He designed the neck and collar of his kurta,
intrinsic and detailed as it can be…
…. And he became..
He became the thought behind the abandoned pigeon egg…
It might have needed mother birds warmth, so he made an egg warmer you see…
He became the speed & precision that wowed his wilderness & flying dreams. . .
He became the partner with his grandma in creating an attire for Diwali…
And for making sun dried vadi with the early morning glee…
He is the boy who becomes every cell of what he thinks, feels and deeds…
He becomes the moment, every moment, before it flees…
He writes musical notes as he please…
one was named the rising star…
And so is he…
He became the notes as it danced and rose…
He becomes the aroma and flavors as he bakes, stirs and boils his imagination on stove…
He became the strokes as he sketched his zoey, the cat and his moves…
He becomes his carved gliders cutting through the air over the Punjabs’ mystical fields…
He becomes the healer when he palms the pain away with his soothing voice…
He becomes the book that he reads with such engrossing delight…
He becomes the era…not just history, geography, maths, science and all that we study…to divide..
The boy who becomes is complete in his moment…
Not for me and not for you…
He becomes for all that he is…
In the moment as he be ..
He is that he becomes…
He doesn’t grow up to become…
He is growing deep, wide, out and inside, and all that is unknown to you and me…
He smiles and laughs, he is experimental and silly…
He is happy to be the boy who becomes simply…
Once you become the human…
mother or father and who so ever, to see simply…
To see the boy who becomes, is to be…
Free from the burden of becoming everyone and everything…
The idea of future, the one day, the one success….
Of being acknowledged, liked, loved, secure, enough, having more and more…
Free from being the mask that they want to see…
The boy who becomes lives in the heart of life…
Throbbing life for a new world of Human Unity…
