Have I stopped seeking
Have my longings been overshadowed by the desires of this world?
Fear and uncertainty seem to have gripped me,
Ripping my senses apart.
In the midst of this maddening strife
I have lost my way.
I see the reverent beauty
Though from afar.
Mindlessly I have slipped,
Caught in the drunken stupor of the incessant frivolities of life.
Finding my way home....
Enjoying our bread and butter is something that we all relish. A minority of us achieve this very early on in our working lives. Some of us are brave enough to make the change when life gets dreary or some, through circumstances.
Then there are those who possibly fear change, have mounds of commitments or just have not seen a more enriching side to life. These are those who remain in the hum drum of an unhappy working atmosphere until retirement or until their last breath on this earth.
Living a (close to) stress free life however, goes beyond the realms of our working environment. It's all about how we view life.
Stop in your tracks.
Absorb your surroundings.
Now, proceed.
What was once, is no more.
And the value acquired?
- As we pause, capture those beautiful moments. Delve within ourselves to check if we are on the right track in seeking our inner desires and longings.
