Nature Trails

When you travel 1500 kms in less than 24 hours, there comes a point in time when your mind just automatically switches off to accomodate the vaccum created by what you left behind. The scenes change in front of you and then suddenly you get this wake up thud in your head and you realize its so different.

Mountains have always been close to my heart, this last trip made me realize how close I was to them. When I saw the pine forests in their natural setting, I realized that two of the main products that rule our lives do not even seem to exist there, money and time. It's like I wanted to get a piece of it with me when I left the place.

But then there was another realization, no matter how much I want to hold it in my hands, it'll always spill and make me feel desperate.

So what I gathered was something that we thrive for all our lives. Just like nature will always be up there so wonderful and serene, so are our dreams. We dream to see ourselves living what we picturise in our heads, the only thing that sets us back is that we want to hold these dreams so close to us that there's always a danger of losing them. So let out that dream and let it flow out of your head, when that happens the reality will become your dream and the chase will automatically end.

Reality CheckXXXX

A couple of centuries ago, man introduced a commodity named "Money."

This "Money" was introduced to make transactions simpler as oppossed to the barter system that prevailed earlier, it was meant to put a new world order in place. The world moved and soon this "money" made it substantial space. So much space it made that it started existing in the conscience of mankind and soon the new borns were born with or without not good smiles but with good or bad fortunes. Everbody wanted to be in the race to be up there so that they never have to look down the dark and deep intricacies of life. This "money" is all you need.

Today many years have passed since this "money" was introduced to our world but very little thought is given to the point that it still does not guarantee the payment for our 7 meter of cloth which will cover us when we die. When the soul whizzles out of the body, we are reduced to mere piece of flesh. All the monies, the fixed deposits, the big car, the big tv, that expensive piece of fine jwellery and all other exquisite things that we may have acquired with this "money" by working harder and harder just simply can't do anything for us. One moment you are here enjoying the luxuries of life and another moment you are just a piece of flesh.

True, we all want to be on top of things during our lifetime, but how much time do we actually spend smiling and admiring this fascinating thing called "Life." I guess it would just take a minor adjustment in our perspectives to get it right and in years to come we'll again have new borns with good smiles and a happy heart.

Good or bad fortunes will be flushed with the adjustment of perspectives.

Haoppy Life....
