At times you lose something ….

Because luck is shining on you, I have realized this…

Yesterday I visited a cemetery (very much disturbed-and it was not a planned one). I felt peace and harmony with nature. Slowly my soul calmed down. All vanity, pride & arrogance evaporated in air like camphor. I was feeling good after discarding the burdens. Seeing and feeling what happens when we die. I was feeling detached from all relations. But I felt attached to the soil and felt the heat and warmth of the (sun) universe in my blood. I saw butterflies moving around me, they shared their joy with me and colored my vision. While in all these time I was sitting on the grass and playing with them. I wondered on the resiliency of the grass and the sharpness of the blade (I remembered my biology class --- It has silica in it, therefore it so sharp).

I was in my deep thoughts playing with grass and all of a sudden I saw large number of ants on the ground. All were moving in a straight line so disciplined so focused. Each of them was carrying weight many more times than its own. Many a times they dropped what they were carrying but without getting discouraged they again picked it up and moved ahead steadily.

I realized two things, first one is the resiliency of the grass taught me about myself to stand once more and fight with all might, against all odds. Never quit be resilient and fight back once more, don’t get disheartened. This is what that little grass taught me.

And the second one was the little ants were telling to work hard, try hard and keeps moving forward, and that’s what life is.

In that cemetery I buried down my anger, fear, jealousy, hatred, fear to failure, the template way of life and all the negativity that was surrounding me.

Yes I buried all of them down ……………….

On that day I learnt a beautiful lesson of my life in cemetery

“The goal of life is not to live forever but to create something that will”
