And one more checked..
One more year passes leaving me with a new age number and new energy to fight out newer battles.
Battles? My battles?
Battles that came to me- no,
situations that became battles after my action -well, yes to an extent.
Abiding with the Tamil saying “Theethum nandrum pirar thara vaaraar” - No good or evil comes to us without our own actions.
Every time a newer wave hits, it feels similar, but has a new message. It’s our choice to feel it, take it or leave it.
The last wave feels same, but formed new experiences which has now shaped me to feel the new wave.
Have you felt a wave hitting you at the sea shore?
It has a message. It comes new, it engulfs you and before you realise it leaves you. As it passes out of you, you feel the sand around your body also gets washed and you are slightly lower into the ground.
Is it a message?
Is it indicating something? Is it traveling to touch me and wish me new happiness, new love, new sadness, new grief, new battles.. and leaves mentioning that I’m just few inches closer to the earth?
Waves - are they a personification of time?
May be, because why not?
Anyways,
I’m here ready to accept that a newer wave has now hit me and I believe that this will engulf me with newer acquaintances, newer situations…
But when it’s time to leave it shall also leave with some portion of myself and may be some previous acquaintances and may be previously formed notion keeping me ready for the next wave.
It shall also leave me even closer to the earth, subtly reminding me of the glorious end.
Well, all it says clearly is:
Be happy, be grieved, be grateful, be thankful, be angry, be confused, be certain, be however,
but above all it clearly says:
Be mindful that ‘This Too Shall Pass’!
