It has been exactly a year to the day when things went astray on the way. A date which got lost in the immense and boundless propensity of time and space. A time which got absorbed into the bottomless and fathomless skiver of life. Life radiated all its true energy without any hesitation. Space got irradiated with everything that it encompassed.
How many times we looked at the sky and wished we had not spoken what we spoke earlier. How many times we got lost in the vastness of this wonderful world and wished we had spoken what we could not speak. How many times have we genuflected and said, "Oh, all right, this too shall pass away". But then again, how many times have things come back in the same shape and form which we had disguised as harmless and unnecessary and written off?
It is for all these things and many more that this post shall make an attempt to bring some cogent answers. This brings forth the Continuum, the Continuum for life.
Things couldn't have been any better. The world intact, feelings in the right place, happiness bounding over the morning sunshine and life sailing on golden sun rays. The walk through the down-town in the drizzle, the cab rides late at night, feasting on tangy food at the beach with a fireplace in front or just the sheer numbness of being together brings forth a host of memories. Memories which are both wonderful and everlasting.
Do you remember the way the wind blew over the coast and the waves crashed across the high seas into magical pools that washed away the sand from our feet? Remember the misty fog hugging the shoreline, hiding the forlorn Lighthouse from clear vision? Do you remember the words written on the soft sand of the beach which even the waters of the mighty ocean couldn't erase or the smile of satisfaction that came from within knowing fully well that there is someone to take care of things? Do you remember the time when everything was lost and everything was gained in a single fleeting moment of mystery? Do you remember the time when someone promised you his life till eternity.
It has been a year, yes! A year full of varied dimensions that shone with colourful arrays. Streaks of light flashing across the bay. A majestic transformation into what we became for what we are and would be till the end of time.
Questions will come, answers will pass by, junctions will always divide the path but that doesn't mean that the 'twain shall never meet. Rather, every bounce will give rise to a new step into the right direction. Every fall will reinforce the importance of being together. Each single dimension of your existence will take you onward to the avowed path.
Trudge along, Fear not
Might men, give up not!
Walk straight, turn right
Salute smart, live your life!
How many roads must we travel for you to get convinced about the significance of it? How many paths shall we explore side by side, for you to realise that this isn't a dream? How many alleys do we need to criss-cross, for you to be convinced? How many mile stones do we need to cross before you are sure that one day the journey will finish? How many breaks do we need to take before you agree that it is possible to accomplish?
The answer is not blowing in the wind. The answer is in you, deep within!
