So she says...

Poor soul I see,
searching for something.

"What is it that I am searching for?",
she asks.

She asks her pals,
who say it all with their eyes.

So she turns to the mirror,
that glances back at her with confusion.

So she turns to me,
I lack the answer.

So she turns to her soul,
that direct her to God.

So she asks her God,
and then only she finds...

"The perfection?",
"The truth?",
"The satisfaction",
I ask.

"The search",
She says.

Back from C-Poy

Now I got that feeling once again.
I can't explain, you would not understand.
This is not how I am.
I have become comfortably numb.
(Comfortably Numb by Pink Floyd, song that was playing before the first lecture)

For the sake of keeping the conversation going she asks: "Have you ever had an experience that changed your life forever?". I have heard this one before and this question never fails to make me glance back to all that I can remember about my past life in 15 seconds. I don't have just one, I got several of them and they all jump up my memory lane all at once and make their way to the tip of my tongue but don't quiet make it out. "She doesn't really care to hear" beats them to it and then I come up with some stupid meaningless trip that I may or may not have taken in past filled with imaginary details about how beautiful the scenery was mixed with the dream I had the night before to add the adventure. Drive back home after such instances are quiet interesting because I enjoy talking to myself about my life changing experiences.

The trip to the Cpoy land was everything I hoped for. It was 2 weeks filled with exhaustion, sleep deprivation and tons of reading. But it was all worth gaining what it had to offer. I met some truly wonderful people who inspired me to reach for my goals. Also, I felt honored to be in a company of great teachers who made it to "my most influential teachers" list. And to add to that I made some wonderful new friends and ofcourse the object.

Thanks Cpoy for the next time she asks about my experience, you'll be sure to make it to the tip of my tongue and might even further if she deserves it.

Thanks Ali
