The beauty of solitude and stillness

Many a times it happens with us that we are caught up with life and its mixed bag of things. In those times we are on an All-out survival mission but what happens when we survive?? All of us know that if we don’t survive then we have workload, pressure and we are neck deep into responsibilities. We never give a thought to what happens or what should happen when we succeed and often we find ourselves too damn free for our own liking. Friends, work, its issues and everything we normally do just ceases to exist.

I had one of those times when I found myself with nothing!!! It gets really scary to know that you have nothing to do but soon I discovered it has a very beautiful purpose. I don’t know if it works for you but it surely worked for me. I saw things and people that live around me in a way I never had. Everybody and everything looked so perfect just because I was not throwing imperfections at them. Its not a way you, me or anyone can live their lives but its something that makes you happy.

when you are alone and still at your mind everything appears to be still. Even the flyover that you daily crossed is suddenly beaming with a pride and beauty of its own kind. The raindrop falls on your shoulder but not before registering its melody in your ear. the Human surroundings are even more mesmerizing. every single person you know appears unique with his/her style of things. That uniqueness is the key to a very special feeling, you see others spreading beauty with their own unique style and suddenly you realize you have a unique signature too. At some random moment someone might see you the way you’ve seen them and might smile because of you.

Now th question is, how many times do we allow ourself to have that stillness? How many times do we look past the sudden solitude and absence of thoughts? I’m not writing this to get an answer to these questions, I’m writing this on behalf of the flyover that you daily cross, the flower in your plant that wants to smile specially for you if you give it a look and a million other things around you that want to make you happy if you give them the chance. Its on behalf of the friend who says something unique or does something you never notice. but above all its for the five senses you hold and that head thats always overcooked with thoughts of survival.

So whenever you feel free, stay free. Whenever you feel still, stay still. Whenever you are alone, stay calm and look around yourself.
