I lay on the grass and looked at the deep blue skies. The blue with patches of white clouds soothed my soul. Blessings crept into me. The chill air made me uneasy but the warmth of the sun was my source. I kept looking at the skies.
For a long I was thought less. In real, thinking for a reason to agitate. Thinking for something to think I was at peace but my mind was looking for reasons. They say mind is always restless. It is more difficult to control the mind than to control the winds.
I gave up to my mind and began thinking. Mind is never short of issues to work on making you range with emotions, joy, sorrows, pain, social issues, politics, environment, love, family and so on. There is so much to think of. I wonder why mind doesn’t mind its own business.
As I gave up and began thinking the first thing that came to my mind was the last time I saw the skies shower its love on me. Then I was back home in my country. All in live with life, happy and young. I would sit out in the sun and count stars. Be with my father knitting memories.
Next I wished some one to be there with me. It would feel amazing to sit and chat with someone, gossip and laugh a little. Then I would have missed the opportunity to be with myself. You can only know the importance of being alone when you spend some time with yourself. From then loneliness will become inconsequential. You’ll cherish the moments you’ve been alone. Isn’t it amazing?
I was alone filled with love, breathing and watching the sun escaping the clouds every now and then making the sky appear silver and blue. Then I looked on my side, green glass and tiny white flowers (pictured above). I sat up, for I began to feel intoxicated and sleepy. You don’t need to booz or fag cigarettes or drugs to get the kick and feel high. As it is said “teri aankhon se mujhe peene de.”
For a while I was without thought again. But my mind wasn’t. My mind told me I must write all this down and share it with you. So here I am. In love and feeling blessed. You will begin to understand my
definition of love as you continue to share words with me. I’m off to sleep for a while. Hope you have a good time.
