Silence Speaks

Silence says a lot, and though this is an oxymoron, but one that I believe in. I believe that words are the most coarse way of expression. Have you ever noticed that when it comes to your most heartfelt moments, you are actually quiet… you do not find the words to express yourself. That's my experience for sure. When you truly love someone, you do not know what to say, for “I love you” seems very hollow and inadequate. The funny part is that you may say the same three words to someone else very easily, for eg someone got you a favorite book and you very easily say…”I love you”, someone got you something you were craving for and you say “I love you”. When someone close is moving away, you don’t know what to say, you simply move with the moment, if the understanding is good, probably the other person will also know, what you feel, but saying something like “I will miss you” seems hollow and does not capture the essence of your feelings in full. You may be more vocal to another person who is not as close to you, but the closer the person is to you, the more you get the feeling that words fail you. Yes, words can be a good indicator, but that’s about it, they ask you to look in a particular direction, but it is for understanding beyond words to capture the essence of anything in full. When you say, I am wearing a blue shirt, the blue may be dark blue, pastel blue, bluish green and so on… you never know… look at all the denim jeans in blue and one is different from the other.

Silence is the most intense expression!

Leap of Faith

There come turning points in your life … actually, every moment is a turning point, a defining moment, but the again, there are life path altering moments/ decisions, like standing on the edge of a cliff. You can either make a leap of faith or else you can retrace back your steps to go back to the certainty of known environment. There are no right or wrong decisions, just that each option will give you a different set of situations to deal with. Today, while I stand here, I have walked to path to reach this edge, and now I am at that juncture, where I am thinking… Can I take that leap of faith…


I trust that whatever has to happen, will happen and it will be the best possible option!

The Big picture

Would like to share something that I had read a while ago:

I was a small child of five, when once I observed my mom was embroidering a piece of cloth and I was lying in her lap and looking at the design from underneath. All I could see was complete mess with threads crossing each other and the knots being there as well. I could not understand why this was taking so much attention of my mom, for nothing great seemed to be coming out of it. I asked my mom to stop doing it, but she asked me to go out and play. I went out to play and then later in the evening, I came and saw the same piece of cloth which my mom had finished working on. It had a beautiful flower!



This small piece of writing really influenced me.
As children, we do not even know, what our parents are trying to do... when they let you fall off the bicycle, they are preparing you to ride it smoothly. When they scold you for studies, they are preparing you for the life ahead. A child does not not have the understanding of the bigger plan of parents. The mom was making a beautiful pattern, but all the little child could see was the mess of thread. As we grow older, our lives go in all different directions, and there are so many times that we wonder, what is happening to us… where are we going, why is life going in weird ways, forgetting that there is a power who makes beautiful pattern out of each life. We need to let it take its own course and trust to let that beautiful pattern emerge. I thank the power who completely takes care of me… to anyone else, it may seem like that my life is the bottom of the embroidery pattern, but I know there is a beautiful pattern emerging 

Thanks!!!
