Thinking on the move - weekend musings

Amazing things can happen - only if you allow them to. Letting go might be the most difficult thing to do when uncertain, but the mystery it brings along is worth the effort. Its like watching a gift unwrap itself slowly and not unlike a song you hear for the first time. A minute into the maze and you're hooked - the richness of sound, depth of voice and intensity of the words somebody so carefully chose, weaving in and out of your porous mind.

You choose not to believe in these fairy tales until they catch you unawares and hold you deep in sway. Once struck, priorities change in a fleeting second and leave you wondering if resolve was ever a friend of yours. For now, let the ticking clock fall and get lost in the obscurity of deliberate oblivion. For now, let the strings of concern be severed. For now, go unshod, skipping light in the streets of a breezy dawn. Go there, where dignity is a commodity you will not need to buy at the expense of joy. Seek out that one plank you'd like clinging onto, for now, if not for life.

I've seen sad eyes and heard their stories spoken silently without the bearer's consent, in the middle of the night. I've learned that a chuckle to hide the yearning is no good when your whole being screams out loud. Its time you realized that its hard to dream of happiness when you're playing a constant blame game against yourself. Wont you be contradicting life, with notions of self imposed melancholy when being happy is the whole point of existence? If these words sound completely new to you, then its time for a pivotal change in your mental alignment.

If the harsh ground realities are the only things that make sense to you, you've never heard of Carl Sagan or his ideology of the Pale Blue Dot. If a song has never made you feel like crying, you've never heard High Hopes by the forefathers of psyche rock. The joys of spacing out cannot be experienced when you're crawling on your knees. Stand up and promise yourself the gift of happiness, every single day of your life.
