DAY 81 - CIRCLES


After 3 hectic weeks with no time to think of anything other than work I had an entire Sunday to myself. I decided to give myself this one day and not think about work. Work can wait till tomorrow.

In fact, I told myself, today I shall not guide my thoughts, but handover the thinking cap to my Inner Self. It might sound like intellectual, pontificating, gibberish. But if you really want a translation it just means -lazing around or bumming around with no specific agenda :)

Usually when I do that I drift off to sleep, which is nice. But today I decided not to sleep. Not to do anything.

The mind drifted. Soon it was up in the clouds. Accompanying the mind in its journey were some photographs. Again, no agenda here to match the two. We were all drifting - slowly, beautifully and happily.

When you do this for a long time, at some point, as they say your soul dips into the depths of the universe. You know it because suddenly for no apparent reason you are filled with joy -for want of another word -orgasmic-joy (i had to combine the two to convey the extent of joy, but even that doesn't do justice to the feeling).

And at this point is where I sat down in my mind. Leaned back and let my life drift.

We come. We go. We want. We get. We want. We don't get. So we come again after we go. We want again. we ask again. we get again. Then we ask some more. Sometimes, we get all. Sometimes we don't. So we go and come back again to get what we want.

It is a circle. It is a marvelous, joyous circle. It is this circle that expands the universe. No circles no expansion.


I guess, at some point, we don't want anything and that's when we don't come back. Which again is wonderful. But then there will always be someone who will want.

Now for those who do not understand `cicles' this will be nothing but pure gibberish. It was for me too until sometime back. It's only recently that `circles' have begun to make sense to me.

And at a particular point in my minds journey this image matched my thought. This image is of
