I traverse on life’s journey, one step at a time, with no inkling of when I shall reach my destination. The fascinating realm of the unknown beckons me, as I take one step at a time to reach there. Like everyone else, I too was given a beautiful little bag at the start, to fill it along in this sojourn. Today that bag has expanded so much, that it made me stop and open it. I take a peek into it to find a collage of myriad experiences I have collected enroute. I see some happy ones, some that were great teachers while others that bruised my heart. The excessive emotional baggage, slows my pace pulling me back. I realize that unless I shed the bulk of the ugly unwanted paraphernalia, I will struggle to move on. I scan through the memories and try to sieve out the scars, let out the tears and weed out the creepers of negativity emanating from them, only to realize, that this isn’t so easy after all. I pause, reflect and persevere. I stand up once again, regaining my composure from those faltering steps. My perspective shifts. I admire the beauty of the blossoms, inhale its fragrance, breathe in the green elixir and look back at my ascent, celebrating my journey of becoming. I junk the unwanted garbage I was holding on to and continue with renewed faith, thanking heavens above, for guiding me towards its expansive blue arms waiting to welcome me into its embrace.
