The Hadza effect

Its the third day in a row, the hadza effect shows no sign of wearing.We'll come to the Hadza a little later.
Different species of butterflies flutter about in the site.Such wonderful colors.There's a pair with yellow and black wings.One in peacock blue with black trimming.Wonder what they come here for.Its just plain red earth, stones, cement and bricks.

The more I think about it, the more I am convinced that Life is meaningless.We add value, meaning as we go along.We as a species with superior brain development have the ability to question why but alas not have an answer.In fact the question and questioner look ridiculous in the face of 14 billion years of the expanding universe.

Hmm..Coming back to the Hadza effect.The Hadza are one of the very few surviving 21st century Hunter gatherers in the infertile desert lands of Tanzania not far from the Serengeti National park.

Off late, my reading habit has taken quite a big hit.Unable to read a 3 page article from start to finish but this one gripped my attention, nope soul!



They gather fruits,berries, nuts, hunt baboons for food.
Importantly they don't store food.Storage is an action borne out of thinking about the future, fearing lack, security and maybe a fear of Life itself.

I really envy the Hadza.Yes, they don't have proper medical help, they are bitten by mosquitoes, theirs is an "insanely committed camping trip".But they LIVE. They don't answer to anyone.Their only God is the Sun.Their ecological footprint- ZERO.What a blessing to live and leave Her(Mother Earth)like this.No possessions, no tax, no nothing. Just bow and arrows to fetch you the next meal, few reeds to get you a shelter, a small community to which you belong to,acres of infertile land and no worries.

and Who are you?

You have ample time for your office work.

But not for us.

You love your laptop and cell fone more than us.

You are earning much more than what you used to.

But time to spend those notes is what u lack.

Its ok. Suit yourself.

Love you jus the same.

Stranger

Met up with old friends- Felt like a stranger.There seemed to be nothing common between us except our old memories.

All one could do was nod for whatever the other said and make light conversation. Deeply felt the lack of communication.

There are a few friends, recently found, who seem very close to heart and the deep connection one feels towards them is cherished.

Why this distinction between friends? Why not?? This doesnt mean I don't love that person/persons.

We afterall live in the material world and it makes perfect sense to distinguish between hot and cold.

Judging hot and cold in a weigh balance is what is unnecessary.

Solitude

Dear maya

U are a good companion. I especially appreciate it when you turn into My mode- watchful mode, when assailed by thoughts that breed negativity.Ur control of the tongue needs checking but that too is watched. dance on baby. Its afterall just a game. Iam the background,Always been & Will be.The times u connect with Me r ur precious moments of nothingness,that u like to call them.

Watchin Always

Solitude
