About Me
- Siddhartha
- I am at peace, with the world around me and myself. I have found enlightenment. It took me sometime, but I found it. I am a ferryman and live in a hut alongside a river. Govinda has also found it too, he is my dearest friend.

Samsara
Dear Journal,
Through the past few years I have had a different life, starting as a Samana then becoming rich. I had my own house with servants and lived the life of the rich. This is not my interest anymore, I had a dream that Kamala's song bird had died in a golden cage and I realized that the bird is me. I think these dreams mean it is time for me to move on. I need to go away, i feel dead, i need to get back on track again. I am leaving today with the clothes on my back.

ReplyDeleteIf Siddhartha never had the dream, what do you think he would have done differently in his life?
ReplyDeleteWould he have changed his mind about the way he lived?

The song bird definatly symbolizes Siddhartha. I wonder if Siddhartha didn't have these dreams, would he still have decided to leave? Is this something he felt for a while? Or did these dreams affect him as soon as he had them?

I really loved this post! I feel so bad for Siddhartha. What if he would have stayed? Things would have turned out so much better for his son and Kamala.

I think you could have added a little more details about the thoughts Siddhartha was feeling. You could have included more information about the songbird and the cage. Other than that, great entry!

This journal is very good, but i think you should of told us more about the songbird in the cage. I also wonder what kind of thoughts made him think of leaving his good life with Kamala.
