Countdown has started.
Not just weather but also
a phase of life is about to change.
You
are standing at the crossroads of two worlds. One, in which you were living so
far, was filled with dreams and expectations and another, which will hopefully
be real existence of those dreams. The passage joining two worlds is these
coming two years.
You are thrilled at the beginning of one whole
new era yet sad for the end of one.
It is like reading the last chapter of a great
book. You are re-reading the last paragraph. Even though another incredible
book awaits, you are not ready to keep this one down.
It is like watching the final scene of your
favorite sitcom’s season finale, over and over again. Though new season is just
round the corner, you are still hung up on that last scene.
Summer is gone but you are still holding those
dried leaves.
No matter how exciting, thrilling future looks, no matter how
eagerly you await that future, you are just not ready to move on. Not now. Not
yet.
But whether you are ready or not, change is
inevitable.
You close the book, exit the media player, you
let the leaves fall.
You wonder, whether moving on will mean leaving
behind the part of you? Is this resistance because of the unfamiliarity of
future or because of familiar past?
Is this the overwhelming thrill or just a foolish fear?
Finally the conflict ends. Mind triumphs over
the muscle.
You have picked up the new book. New season is
getting downloaded. And you take the drops of first welcoming rain on your
face.
“No matter how much the future is scary you
can’t cling to the familiar past. You go up front and face the future” ; a cliché
dialogue from some tv series now suddenly becomes beautiful thought.
Then you realize, there are many sailing with you
and you are not alone. There are many who have gone ahead who will guide you
and you are not lost. There are some people, some things who have become so
much part of you that no matter what,they will be just the same for you; Like
small clear voices in heart, like your North Stars.
Taking your North Stars with you, holding unto
your dreams for future;
Now you are not sad for the end.
NOW
you are ready to move on.
...ready to pick up a pen and write yet another beginning...
