DAY 70 - VISION



Do you think you can find one story a day for 365 days? asked my friend.

Sure, why not? If I am going to live for 365 days then I can easily tell 365 stories. If I don't find a story to tell on a particular day then that would mean I hadn't lived my life that day.

My friend thought I had gone bonkers and mumbled, "impossible, you can't".

Yesterday, just for a moment I thought my friend's prediction might come true.

That's when I chanced upon a story that would stay with me forever.

It was a beautiful sunset. But then how many sunset-stories can you write. Is my life made of only sunsets and sunrises? (Though I ain't complaining).

As I was standing there thinking about it, the little voice in the head said: All that is here has already been; all that is said has already been; all that is done has already been...the one thing that hasn't `been' is your vision. How you see all that has `been' is new and that is your story....

The sunset was never the same again.

And the perspectives changed.

As they say -there is always more than one way. And you write a new story every time you explore a new path.
