Often, in life, we run fast –
towards what we think our aim is. Unfortunately, sometimes we lead ourselves to dead ends. This is what happened to me in the recent
past. I was quiet shocked and confused when I realized there is no way ahead. I
kept wondering what to do and even thought of running back to where I came from. But my responsibilities
and liabilities had shut that option already. After much thinking, I decided to
dig a path myself. Alas! Destiny is a mystery, for we not know what lies ahead.
The new path too was a blind alley. Lost and baffled, I sat on the ground while
my heart filled with disappointments. My future seemed void and purposeless.
I do not know the amount of time I
spent there but as my eyes filled with tear and body grew tired, I slipped into
a deep sleep. When I woke up, it was dark. Scary dark. Not knowing what to do,
I decided to wait for the light. As I lay on my back staring into nothingness,
something caught my attention – the blue-black canvas of nature. The usual
night sky, only this time, those twinkling stars and the full moon penetrate my
vision. Never before have I experienced the beauty of a dreamy moonlit sky. Slowly
my worries vanished and I slipped into a soothing feeling. It was bliss - doing
nothing, knowing nothing, saying nothing and expecting nothing. Consciousness
sinking into me – I am exactly where I am supposed to be – momentary pause to
relish the moment. From here, I have miles to go. The sky is my new destiny.
