| Sitting here in the early afternoon, doing research and studying for exams coming up - all the while feeling a bit insecure and restless. Wondering why. Patience was never a virtue of mine, and as I rushed to get ideas into action, dreams into reality, I missed the most important factor of all. That time heals wounds, bursts buds into bloom, that turns seasons and stands as the keeper of life and death. The reality is: Life is too short to hold yourself back or on the same token, to forge ahead blindly. We must enjoy every moment of every sensation we can because there will surely come a time when it is all taken from us. The cards fold, and we pass on into the next faze of existence. All that we clung onto in vain hopes that we might be able to enjoy it a bit longer, any enjoyment is robbed when we grab a hold of it with desperation. We enter into this world alone - yet connected. And we part - alone. Yet always connected, through every movement, every tear drop or blood stain. God is in the water, in the fever of the fire. It is not some entity personified, it is manifest in all its manifestations. And it communicates through the elements of the unspoken language. So I choose to be here now, and bask in the gray-golden light of November 15, 2014. This year just began it seemed, and now it is wrapping to an end. Soon it will pass, and never again will there be a day like this. Sometimes I hunger to feel the moment in all its depth, that I just want to cling to it with unwept tears, begging for it to last a little while longer. For anyone reading this, that holds a grudge, or is frozen in their fears and in your heart you are dying to do something but keep holding yourself back - just do it. But first ask yourself if it meets 3 criteria: Is it out of love Is it out of truth Is it both kind to them and you? If so, then dive into these waters, without any expectations. Life is temporary. Every feeling of both laughter and anger is all but a transition into the world after this. Who knows if we have a chance to see and feel those we love? When you realize in your essence how momentary your life is, illusions of rejection, pride and ego give way to remembering why we are here to begin with. To love and to give away as much as we can, so when we pass, we pass on as empty and fulfilled as possible. |
