The Serenity that I feel at the moment is as blissful as this man sitting by the lake. The mind is at peace, even when I am feeling ever expanding ripples caused by events happening within me and around me. The ripples are just a way of life, which only gives us an experience to learn from. The way things are at the moment, there is no urgency to to reach anywhere, to be in a certain way, to please someone, to be someone. I am simply at peace with myself and where I am at the moment. The stillness that I feel within even in the midst of the waiting, the uncertainty is beautiful. A sense of calmness has set in, was this the way I felt earlier...I might have but I have just started to notice it more so lately.
Life is just the way it is, simple , beautiful , adventurous, interesting , delightful etc....one can simply go on adding different adjectives. And yet when we look at our wants , desires, wishes; and we ask ourselves when will things start getting done, getting accomplished, that's the time we start losing the moment that is there to cherish. Desires , wants make up our lives, but that's only the part of our life not the whole of who we are. There are things we want to achieve, there are things that we want to feel, want to have, things that we desire. The list is endless, the list is way for us to feel good, to feel worthwhile. It's important to have a certain degree of security, a certain amount of accomplishment, a certain amount of worthiness. Cause that's what gives us a sense of who we are, where we are, what makes us happy, what makes us feel good.
But Life always brings with it a certain amount of uncertainties. Uncertainties can be in the form of unexpected , unwanted turn of events in life. Be it a personal loss, a relationship gone sour , a heartbreak, a disease, an accident, a deal not gone through, financial losses..there can be plenty of uncertainties that one can think of. And in this midst we start caring about people's approval, we become prisoner for life. Once we start chasing something, our heart never unclench. And we say" I never expected this to happen , am so devastated". It's in this moment of crisis, in the moment of upheaval if we simply let go off the injury, the hurt, the pain, the let down, the chase and just do our work and STEP BACK. We are on the path to serenity , which is simply there in us , we simply need to find it .
If we only.........it's for us to find the path that leads to gracefulness in life.

the words r full of magic , when u write on the blog it really creates ripples in the heart. Proud to be ur friend
Very beautifully written I must say!! we need to learn to appreaciate the good we have, and also appreicate our selves for what we have achieved yet keeping our goals high, i guess happiness is all about maintaining the balance with what we have and how much we desire to grow
