Flossy clouds in the sky
As I went for my regular dose of walk in the evening, just happened to look at the sky which was densely littered with clouds. From the edge-lines of the clouds cascaded the golden rays in a shimmering veil - only indication of the otherwise blanketed sun. The sky very coyly peeping out from behind the clouds from wherever it found a chink.
Looking skywards, its dynamism... triggered a thought !! What I could see a similarity to our human situations here ...in life !!! Each one of us is blessed with this life ...a largesse of exuberance, abundance with benevolence to nurture and sustain life. on this Life-canvas each of us is placed in a very specific situation right from birth. subsequently each experiences a life chequered with joys and sorrows, celebrations amidst some / more / less struggles. Each of us grows on his/ her own tangent arm - based on personal meaning-making of life's experiences one encounters.
Each one of us encounters problems and tribulations varied by its type, expanse and intensity . And just as clouds alter their colour, density, shape and their spread - sometimes scanty or in big patches or heavily littered or might also be in swathes opaquely layering over the sky similarly the problems in life occur and cover ones life. The clouds may result into a cool breeze, shower, torrential rain, may cause devastation through floods, similarly problems take away zest from and add anxiety to our lives condition to.how much we let ourselves affected by them .
Sometimes, the clouds may totally cover the entire sky. But is that the case ??? No... they appear to us So !!!. In reality, the sky is where it was...its largeness has a magnitude, much much beyond the capacity of the clouds to ever completely overlap and submerge it.
The reason - temporariness of the clouds gets defeated by the permanence and magnitude of the sky. Our problems are in character similar to the clouds - sometimes small and insignificant, which go away in a jiffy; sometimes large reducing the brightness, exuberance of life; sometimes very taxing as if testing our capacity for resilience; sometimes big but light floating thus increasing darkness for some span of life and sometimes so big...almost overwhelming our capacities and seemingly unending.
Life led must be like the sky and the problem/s which one faces, the clouds. At any given moment, problems may appear to be stormy. overwelhming, insurmountable, all dark...it is just a guest-appearance, they will float by like the flossy character of a cloud. For Problems are the prisoner in time ...they will have to melt and give up their heaviness and darkness and dissipate with time. The only thing a person should have is an unshakable , permanent faith in the exuberant bounty and interminable benevolence of life. Also the problems are a prisoner of time but SKY has its permanence as it is not a captive of time.
Like Life is to be on top of the clouds...so be you over your Problems and Let Life prevail in its pristine magnificence and benevolence...
GOD Bless !!!
