QUESTIONS

So many questions…
____________________________________________________________________
Who am I? A new label everyday?
Do I show people only as much of me that I know they can take?
Am I a different person with different people?

What is my purpose in life? What am I here for? Am I just another ant in the collective? Or am I someone unique, a star perhaps in a galaxy?
What is the basis of my existence? What is the basis of my life?

What is my biggest strength? What is so unfailing in my life, in me, that I can draw my strength from?

How do I overcome my biggest fears?

How do I know when to let go and when to hold and fight for what I want or need?

If it’s all perspective, then how do I know which is the right perspective for the moment?

…so many answers yet to be found.

I have always wanted to take a long walk in the woods.
Walking under leafy canopies on a bright morning with sunshine filtering through like golden beams, just the thought of it envelops me in warm serenity, especially at times when I am sad, like right now.
Sometimes it happens so that I start living in my dreams. And then when reality tries to wake me up I don’t want to open my eyes. Like a little child who so innocently believes in love and goodness.
As one grows in life one realizes that for dreams to come true, one needs to do more than just believe in one’s dreams. One realizes that it’s easier to dream but it takes a lot of faith, time and effort to nourish a dream so that it becomes reality. And then one loses hope eventually burying the dream deep inside like a cherished treasure from childhood. It’s hard to do that. Bury your dream. It’s almost like when your dog dies.
But, you know, tough though it may be, I want to make my dreams into reality. And so, I’ll always remember this…

Follow your dreams
Wherever they lead
Don’t be distracted by
Less worthy needs…

Shelter them, nourish them,
Help them to grow
Let your heart hold them down
Deep where dreams go…

Follow your dreams,
Pursue them with haste
Life is too precious
Too fleeting to waste...

Be faithful, be loyal
Then all your life through
The dreams that you follow
Will keep coming true…!

Someday I’ll walk in the woods with my beloved and share memories of times when my dreams came true…
