It’s a spiral stair
With no banister
Goes forward the sun
But never crosses the floor
The stairs, higher they get
More broken they are,
No frights neither scares
Are even lessons
Who’s afraid don’t go up,
Who has dreams, neither.
There are those who threw away
The ballast of their heart
We go up running
Get dangerous in vain.
Guess what: it is life
A stair with no banister.
This is a special one for me, because that’s my life: a spiral stair with no banister. But this is the way I like to live my life. As Osho (2006) says in Perguntas às suas respostas: Desafios para mentes abertas (In English: Your Answers Questioned – Explorations for Open Minds):
«Ponha tudo em jogo. Seja um jogador! Arrisque tudo, porque o momento seguinte não é certo, estão para quê dar-se ao trabalho? Para quê preocupar-se? Viva o perigo, viva a alegria. Viva sem medo, viva sem culpa. Viva sem qualquer medo do inferno nem qualquer ganância pelo céu. Simplesmente viva.» (p. 27)
My English translation: “Put all at stake. Be a player! Risk all, because the next moment is not the right one, s0 why give yourself that effort? Why worry? Live the danger, live the joy. Live without fear, live with no guilt. Live without any fear of hell with no freed for heaven. Just live.”
I think this is the way I live my life; no fear, put all at risk and at stake. I’m a “natural” player. Life for me is a game, that’s always asking me: wanna play? And I just can’t say no. I’m addicted to this game; the game of life! And love to play it! I love to take risks! I love to cry because things went wrong, but a few minutes later laugh, higher than I can, because I achieved what I wanted! This is me! No doubt! And my life is a spiral stair with no banister, in which I try to climb without falling. And even when I fall, I try again to climb it! I have a strong will to reach its top and I know I can. All I need it to follow Osho’s thought: “Put all at stake. Be a player! Risk all (…) Just live.“
