the PRESENT !



the PRESENT !

As the dust settled, the lights faded, the roads became deserted. There i stood at a single point watching the transformation at NH 46 . A street lamp, a scooter, music and a glass of tea - thats all i had !!! as the Winds were caressing my face, the sky was pitch black like my mind ! Moon was nowhere to be found so was the answers to many of my questions. As the songs in my playlist shuffled so did the thoughts in my mind but then there were these few minutes where i was blank like the deserted highway !!! I was living in the present for those few minutes. I was not thinking about the past nor the future but just living in the present and i finally got a taste of what it feels like to live in the present !!! I enjoyed the dust settling down, i enjoyed each and every sip of that tea, i enjoyed the smell of air, i enjoyed the sight of moving lights, i enjoyed the blankness of the sky, i enjoyed the lyrics of my song and at that moment i felt everything connected to me, as if they were all revolving around me. As if the world was revolving around me. To sum it all - i enjoyed THE PRESENT !!!

Note: we are all consumed by the past and the future that we forget that the present exist. By the time that realization comes the present will be the new past. So, Live in the present and seize the moment - Carpe Diem !!! Enjoy the present cause at the end thats all that matters !!!

Soul Mates - Bob Marley

Only once in your life, I truly believe, you find someone who can completely turn your world around. You tell them things that you’ve never shared with another soul and they absorb everything you say and actually want to hear more. You share hopes for the future, dreams that will never come true, goals that were never achieved and the many disappointments life has thrown at you. When something wonderful happens, you can’t wait to tell them about it, knowing they will share in your excitement. They are not embarrassed to cry with you when you are hurting or laugh with you when you make a fool of yourself. Never do they hurt your feelings or make you feel like you are not good enough, but rather they build you up and show you the things about yourself that make you special and even beautiful. There is never any pressure, jealousy or competition but only a quiet calmness when they are around. You can be yourself and not worry about what they will think of you because they love you for who you are. The things that seem insignificant to most people such as a note, song or walk become invaluable treasures kept safe in your heart to cherish forever. Memories of your childhood come back and are so clear and vivid it’s like being young again. Colours seem brighter and more brilliant. Laughter seems part of daily life where before it was infrequent or didn’t exist at all. A phone call or two during the day helps to get you through a long day’s work and always brings a smile to your face. In their presence, there’s no need for continuous conversation, but you find you’re quite content in just having them nearby. Things that never interested you before become fascinating because you know they are important to this person who is so special to you. You think of this person on every occasion and in everything you do. Simple things bring them to mind like a pale blue sky, gentle wind or even a storm cloud on the horizon. You open your heart knowing that there’s a chance it may be broken one day and in opening your heart, you experience a love and joy that you never dreamed possible. You find that being vulnerable is the only way to allow your heart to feel true pleasure that’s so real it scares you. You find strength in knowing you have a true friend and possibly a soul mate who will remain loyal to the end. Life seems completely different, exciting and worthwhile. Your only hope and security is in knowing that they are a part of your life.

Compassion Hurts !!!

When i feel connected to everything. I feel responsible for everything and I cannot turn away. My destiny is bound with the destinies of others. I must either learn to carry the universe or crush by it. I must grow strong enough to love the world, yet empty enough to sit down at the same table with its worst horrors.
