What is contentment? Or a happy life? The summation of your breaths in ecstasy and unadulterated joy?
Maybe not.
Today was an average day.But a good one.Why?
Almost three months since I last wrote.it's not that nothing has happened since June, it's that I had a huge writing block.The sort where you KNOW you want to put across an idea,but it gets stuck somewhere in the rut of your mind. But today, here I am . Again . Suddenly , there are too many words that need to be written , that demand freedom from the unexplored to this virtual page . It is a wonderful feeling . I can't imagine how authors and poets can live survive without it.
What also makes me happy ? The knowledge of having good friends . A huge comfort knowing what a rarity they are these days . To all the super - wonderful people filling the gaps in my life - I owe you guys one :)
And finally, down to the real reasons :
One - It's important to make peace with your past . I don't know where I read that , but it came to me today when I finally came to terms with people I'd been upset with . People are always important , no matter when or how often or for what reasons they have walked out of your life . When you are given a chance to reconcile , do it , because there's a good thing waiting for both at the end of it .
Love does not die when two people can't get along anymore . I guess it lives on and gets passed over . Something like the cycle of karma . So if you break up , but if you still wish the best for someone , there aren't too many tears that will be shed .
Two - Have you ever witnessed a scene so beautiful it breaks you're heart? Makes it ache in a bittersweet way? Made you stop and pull your bike to the side of the road (in an army area, no less ) just to gaze at the wonder of it all ?
I didn't wish for a camera as much as I wished to etch the scene forever in my mind.
Looks like it's going to take a while for me to get over my obsession with sunsets.
Meanwhile , there's a purpose in life again . I don't know what it is , but it's not that aimless . All those opportunities missed in the last few months are not sacrifices , just milestones to refocus on ones more to my liking and capability.
Alas , I am glad there is no manual focus on the viewfinder of this phase of who I am .
You can climb mountains , touch the sky . What next ?
Only time can tell.
" In the midst of movement and chaos , keep stillness inside of you. "
