Yesterday, while driving back home, a few hours of solitude between me and Joni Mitchell’s “Urge For Going” made me realise that I am looking for a new ‘Me’.
It was nearly mid night. London never sleeps and yet the road in front of me was silent.
It almost seemed that nothing else was there.
Street Lights.
No bawling or gear howls.
It was then a yearning arose into my awareness, to find happiness -In the relentless exuberance of spring as well as during the severe grey winter.
The Sound of Silence had a comforting touch. I realised, when we feel discontent, we tend to think a change in our lives is the answer to happiness. But we fail to search for joy in everyday life. We look for a home but miss the point that onus lie on us to build it. If we don’t build it today, we will never build it tomorrow.
I remember when I was young, during one of our annual outings, I tried to hold the wispy clouds that wafted inside my car. I was happy that I could hold on to them. And that is exactly what I am going to do, “Hold On” to the Moments!
Just when the going gets tough, there is an urge to look outside and dream. I wish I can look inside and stay awake.
