Let's Fly!

When the sun sets a day comes to an end, only to rise again with beaming shine.

And OH! How much do I love the warmth of the early morning rays!

Sunshine perhaps is the best thing every day, a reason for me to smile every morning. We have come across the “Rising Sun” quotes and have always requoted to anyone in a desperate situation about the possibilities, opportunities and hopes it brings.

But do we really believe in it ourselves, when the time comes?

It holds no relevance when you are in state of fear or are emotionally distressed and this state prevails over your true behavior. And how much you want to believe in the rising sun and hopes, but fear takes over when the things are beyond control. There can be no bigger fear than seeing our loved ones suffer and the sudden change of actions and personal conduct that follows.

When you find yourself in such situation where staying stressed and unfocused was one thing, but getting a chance to pour your feelings on a paper with different colours was entirely another. A dream I never spoke of and was never able to realise until I was told, “All you need is a Canvas”

With a small effort, I found the picture of the canvas I painted a few years ago which was of a rising sun. And in no time, I knew it was what I always wanted to do, but the fear of being judged and being rejected kept it at bay.

My partner in crime wasted no time, and with alacrity we started on a new journey of colours & white papers with simple agenda - to pour the feelings. At this busy stage of life where we all stand, I’m glad to get this opportunity to realise those small dreams that I left behind. All I ever needed to do was to make time. So a few sleepless nights are Ok with a big smile.

Those sheets of paper and colours have not made me overcome the sadness but they gave me wings of life for a certain amount of time, to be grateful and an opportunity to express it. With all the adventures I try to set the foot on, I have countered a very key point - “Acceptance is the key to happiness”.

A book I read recently, stated very beautifully- “We all are flawed, perhaps I’m more flawed than you and I’m ok with it”

There is a sense of freedom I get when I write, paint, dance, meet people, travel or do anything new- It’s a part of being freed from a cage & I want to learn to fly.. Once again!

Make time and do things you like. You would get the true meaning of  being elated.

Until the next brew!
