Blue Expanse

Posted on by niyatiapril

As I walked home from an afternoon class, dripping in buckets of sweats, I merely glanced up for a second and I was struck by the beauty of nature; clear blue skies stretching as far as the eye could see.
One reason I love the skies is that they are the same for everyone; the rich and the poor and nobody can own them. When I look at them my worries and stresses are momentarily forgotten and my mind becomes fresher and clearer.
Recently I downloaded a meditation app, where they gave the example of the mind as the sky and the clouds as the thoughts. Hence, only by our positive thoughts can we steer away from the negative ones and pave the way for clear blue skies.

Distractions

Posted on by niyatiapril

Sometimes I wonder what my purpose is

I wonder indeed

734434-200

is it to find myself or help people in need

but before I wonder and ponder deep

a notification takes away my attention

and I look at my phone to see what it has to say

and my musings are left for another day

Daily Ruminations

Posted on by niyatiapril

While I walking to my class, observing the daily chaos, I noticed a bird at the bottom of a fence. The fence surrounded a playground and was covered with a green mesh windscreen. The bird hopped a little above the fence but still couldn’t fly over the fence and because of the green windscreen mesh it couldn’t even see what was ahead of it, it hopped yet again a little higher but still couldn’t fly over, then finally the bird flew all the way to the top of the fence and lo and behold, it finally flew over the fence.

We humans also face such similar situations in our life, we take flight to reach our goals but many times we are met with severe weather conditions where we lose our way and lose sight of our goals, in such times we must persevere, we must not lose hope however bleak the circumstances, we must keep flying and navigating with all our will till we reach our goals.

We must find a way to overcome the green windscreen in front of us and fly beyond the fence, all one has to do is believe in themselves.
