On Being Earthly-bound

On Being Earthly-bound

Isn’t it a joy, a happiness, a heavenly gift, to be earthly-bound?

Be attached to my dog, my cat, my fighting cock,
Be attached to my choir, an old servant, a food stall vendor,
Be bound to my bed, my home, the environment, my country, my people,
Forgetting myself in a hobby, my “art”, my “philosophy”,
A mother, child-bound,
I, myself a man, bound to you MM, a woman and vice-versa
And to hunger, to thirst
After enjoyment, warmth, love and freedom
And all wishes, longings of being human
And all the dear things that bind, draw us to the earth.

Should I choose the happiness of being freed of desires, wishes, suffering, As is the sage, the wise or those in Nirvana?

I don’t repent the suffering that accompanies it.
Buda forgive me my foolishness.

1975
