Today though seems different.
I have millions of thoughts crisscrossing my mind. Im just observing them. While doing so I realize, these many thoughts running in my mind may have different words but the message is the same. Its LOVE.... Im in a state of love.
The love has come from my gratitude to everything today. That I did wake up and so did my loved ones, to live another beautiful day in the company of each other. Take a moment and think.. If you get up one morning and find your loved one sleeping besides you gone; how would that make you feel. I know im being quite drastic but it just dawned on me how feeble life is. How many things would have been left to see, do, tell, share...... Our brilliant ability to take everything for granted then leaves us with the feeling of guilt, emptyness, void. And inspite of knowing this we are still occupied with mundane things that take up most of our energy and time. Do we even know the meaning of leisurely anymore? Even while on vacations most of us are caught up making plans of what to do next. Hello.... Didnt you come here to just chillax and maybe learn something while you are at it.
I envy the village people every time I go for a trek. Trekking is an addiction by the way. The silence, solitude and serenity of being in the company of nature in the lap of the universe is unimaginable. Will keep that experience for another post though. Do you know how it feels to just sit underneath a tree through out the morning and deep into the afternoon and just see the clouds pass by. The messages are loud and clear. Its just us who are so caught up in this cacophony that we fail to even listen to our own body forget anything around.
Today is one such morning when im deeply tuned within. Just observing. My silence helps me listen. As my breath slows down, I can sense that each part of my body has a mind of its own and is revealing in its own moment. My fingers are enjoying the moment of touch with my love and silence is doing all the talking. A surge of warmth fills me up as my arms feel the hugs which do the talking when words fail me. Its bliss in a moment which feels like eternity. Im so wrapped in the now that I have actually become love.
The phone rings ending the moment.. Argh.. Gadgets I tell myself. But the new me still in the state of love; thankfully is quite happy to hear my father on the other end asking caringly.. Would you be joining us for lunch today.. ?
Ah! gadgets I tell myself again.. Now in different light but nevertheless in gratitude.
