Its dusk time, the sun seems to be in two minds, the bliss that its twilight showers on the lesser mortals has become too precious for the great star to abandon. Well, I sneak out of my hiding at this opportunity and out I go for a walk.
Its been a hectic day mentally with all the work updates, meetings, discussions and arguments. Slowly, I walk out of the gate, cross the road and nature gifts me a healing sight! The lake is crowded with its residents and immigrants, chirping, swimming, flying, conversing! Water, as always, representing the vast calmness of nature, gleefully reflecting the rays that the Sun has bestowed upon it! The orange charm of the evening engulfs me into its euphoria. Its melancholic in a strange way, as I reflect back on the day, and find so many moments spent in futility!
I keep watching the lake, the birds and the Sun and slowly everything else around me gets engulfed into stillness. The people who were moving around me, don't seem to bother me anymore, the noise of the vehicles honing for no reason fades away, the conversations around me get cut off from my ears.
I only here my breath, sound of the water, the birds and the pleasant wind blessing my body with the velvet touch. The connection I feel with the elements is so profound, even if I lost it somewhere, it takes me no time at all to re-connect and float in it.
With the deep breaths I take, I can dive into my own soul and feel the beauty, the peace and the harmony. I lose the intent and the capability to think, I start feeling so blank that I could only relate to the outer space, symbolizing my inner one. I stop, close my eyes and nothing, just nothing comes to my mind but for the empty route of the Universe to the God within. Well, I take that route and after a while I forget everything that happened today or yesterday, I am here, I am in the moment and I am with myself!
When I open my eyes, the Sun, unwillingly so, is about to leave and blesses the Horizon with its last kiss! My eyes become teary as I start to walk again as if I want to follow the Sun, I don't want it to leave. But the bliss that it leaves me with seems to be enough to carry me for one more day and even beyond!
As the night sets in, I walk back to my residence, slowly getting aware of the world again but this time, there is no stress, no worries, I just keep walking unbothered of what everyone else is doing or thinking, or if someone is even seeing me.
I come across a friend who asks,
"where have you been buddy?"
I answer: "I took a walk to the temple"
Friend: "Hey, I didn't know you were religious at all!"
I just pass a smile to him….as we keep walking to the apartment!
