Once more, many times - stranded, cold and redeemed

The germination of a possibility, a possibility to be anything. The outline is strong. The subtle twitches and the gentle movements catapulted the heart from joy to bliss. Smiles spread and there was a shower of blessings. Blessings so strong that will keep the seed protected at all costs. These blessings have insatiable energy and can even make the Gods yield. 

Days went by. Weeks went by. The first few seasons. Outline emerged even stronger. And then there was a lull. A lull so powerful that it was just collecting all the energy in the world, quietly. The sun was sending its best rays over. Air was getting cooler. The rains didn’t torment, but helped just enough. It was a perfect backdrop to break open the shell. And then it emerged.

A dollop of bliss. Still spreading bliss and smiles to those who were miles away. The cosmos was acting in unison to bring the bliss from every patchwork. No facade could hide the smiles. The intense few days. 

And then the months of heightened bliss. The idea of impermanence was forgotten. What does Impermanence mean when one has so much bliss! Equanimity was an alien concept, and a practice that could be frowned upon for your smiles would even make a parched land come back to life. This high was unlike any other, nothing to compete or to be compared.

Months went by. Years went by. Possibilities are endless when the mind has no boundaries, for it is the mind that also creates the boundaries. But, what could have happened of you! So many stories to be shared, retold, celebrated, learnt, and cried with. The blessings still pour endlessly, for what is Life if not to see those around you smile.

No outwardly celebrations. No fake piety. No lamps. No candles. No labels. But unadulterated pure passion inside a beating heart that yearns and waits….every single moment for the past 10 years!
