I wasn’t getting any theme to write today and felt as if the mind was going almost blank, I kept on looking at the screen for some time, began to scribble something that might set the momentum and rhythm for the post like stretching before the running, but it didn’t help today, maybe. I was too absorbed and concerned about Anvit’s sleep and that internally was giving me a sense of hurriedness and limitedness to complete this writing, at the earliest, maybe.
I failed in the morning to complete the post, nevertheless used this narrative to complete it today at the end of the day before the clock strikes 12. No, I won’t be awarded and given any appreciation for this, just for the self-satisfaction and feeling a sense of authenticity and credibility may be writing and finishing this post. How much meaning and relevance it would bring, in terms of what I write and what is being conveyed, that’s all up to you, for your participation and meaning-making after reading it, makes it enriched and worth all my efforts.
Well, there wasn’t a paucity of topics and stories to share and narrate, with the phone not working these days and so many other aspects of life bringing varied colors and shades, somehow I wasn’t able to decide on which aspects of life should be my address and focus. The self has always been my closest, though, under all the heads that I want to explore and understand the most.
The quest, the journey, the truth of knowing and experiencing who I am. Relationships, emotions, well-being, parenting, education, well-being, habits, routines and rituals, research, events, new ventures, family and friends, care and this pandemic, work, and what-not! Everything under the Sun and the Moon is worth talking about and indeed a blessing to express our gratitude and continue to write upon. And then?
While doing the home chores, amidst these and those, this and that, the aha moment came when I felt (not for the first time, this I have always felt) what is happening with me is also happening with everyone and is experienced by each one of us on varied planes and in different stages of life that somehow connect to each one of us in this universal togetherness.
We accept this axiom, there is always a cause and then the effect. A Universal Phenomenon. We all are part of it in an endless interconnected series of events.
Sometimes all we need to do is take the next step and then the next. This sets the perceived momentum for us. What, and in which direction that unveils in the rhythm of taking the step. The continuity is important so is to experience the stillness within while taking the steps.
Peace and fulfillment are the results of taking such steps.
I just took the one.
Completed this post.
Onto the next one.
With you.
In this cosmic interconnectedness.
