Gitanjali by Rabindranath Tagore?

Question

Here is a section from the epic poem.....I wonder how we live into this?

Stream of Life

The same stream of life that runs through my veins night and day

runs through the world and dances in rhythmic measures.

It is the same life that shoots in joy through the dust of the earth

in numberless blades of grass

and breaks into tumultuous waves of leaves and flowers.

It is the same life that is rocked in the ocean-cradle of birth

and of death, in ebb and in flow.

I feel my limbs are made glorious by the touch of this world of life.

And my pride is from the life-throb of ages dancing in my blood this moment.

Answer 1

I found this to be an extremely eloquent poem, expressing our CONNECTEDNESS with all things....something of which we all need to be more aware. We don't live into it, we just are!
