‘going looking’

Written by:

story of a boy who wanted more…

a boy who was lost
until he decided to find more for himself.
who found himself with so much,
but always wanted something different.
who had been many places,
but wanted to see more.

a boy who decided to trust his eyes
and go looking.

what he found is about uncertainty,
leaving comforts, chasing dreams of what “can be”..
dreams where multiple realities can coexist
and our imagination rules.

he found that,
when we look,
we always find.

wandering on bali island,
a friendly, holy place,
a temple invites a visit and
he’s greeted by a soft face,
a profound mind and wise eyes,
explain they’ve met before,
the power of karma, meditation,
following what feels right.

the boy, deeply reflective,
observes and absorbs.
new perspectives reshaping
an open mind, a mind of mush.
unlearning, relearning,
growing new wings,
he’s reborn.

reborn into a world of fascination,
an uncertain existence and world,
bring inspiration and new dreams.

going looking for more,
the boy found unimaginable joy.

alone in the world, together with the world,
complete trust in complete strangers,
a new norm, new values,
a new being.

life is for living,
life is for chasing more,
doing more,
more and more,
of what makes you happy.

embracing change.
embracing uncertainty.
embracing yourself.

the boy turns the page,
starting another new chapter.
