Illuminate"why-not"

Why not keep -ourselves fresh, cognitively, spiritually, imagination is the choice, we make, provocatively; knowledge is -not an impediment, but the incubator to -grow ourselves, full-fledgedly?

Contemporary society is-

complex, uncertain;

does knowledge trap us,

limit our imagination,

is information getting stale;

outdated sooner than-

what we thought of?

why not give-

ourselves some freedom,

put aside -

all the trained thoughts,

conventional understanding,

traditions & routines,

let open possibility come to-

connect,

set ourselves free to soar,

boundarylessly?

If the road ahead is-

too flat, tedious,

why not throw ourselves-

a learning curve;

take a detour;

explore valley deep,

climb mountain trail,

dive into the ocean

wander around on-

the tidy seashore, adventurously?



Time and time again,

when the big picture is -

too far, along-

the change curve;

people cannot see -

"what's around the bend";

get lost in -

trivial details;

daily busyness;

shall they ask -

deep “WHY”s to-

figure out -

cause-effect;

can they ponder-

“WHY NOT”to spur -

creative ideas;

get into actions positively;

educate, support, celebrate -

every critical step of change, steadfastly?

Our global society is-

diversified, dynamic, with-

enriched cultures,

the world of wisdom;

why not open our mind to-

see the full color of landscape,

across boundaries;

why not clear our ears to-

listen to-

two sides of the stories, objectively;

why not trace our roots to -

discover where -

we come from, philosophically;

why not expand -

our footprints to -

walk through -

the progression of-

 humanity, anthropologically?


Every bit of-

knowledge we acquire should -

either increase our confidence,

or better our judgment;

every experience,

we’ve been through become-

part of us, authentically;

why not keep -

ourselves fresh, cognitively, spiritually,

imagination is the choice,

we make, provocatively;

knowledge is -

not an impediment,

but the incubator to -

grow ourselves, 

full-fledgedly.
