Somehow
I am coming across a lot of things that depict a picture of autumn or autumn
leaves. It’s strange! In the beginning I did not notice this. But after a while
it became something I would keenly observe, being aware. Everywhere I go, I somehow
tend to see the autumn or autumn trees that’s shedding its dried leaves…
!
Recently
I went to a hobby store to buy a few things I needed to make holiday greetings
and there the first thing I saw was a clipboard full of autumn leaves and
falling leaves… I went to buy a certain kitchen wear and there too I see coffee
mugs n serving trays with autumn leaves… these are some I wanted to quote else
there are so many such instances… ! It really got me thinking coz I am someone
who has grown to believe that nothing in life, happens as a coincidence. It’s all
part of the story written for you…part of an Ala Grand plan. It all has a
meaning. Nothing happens without a reason. There is a purpose in every event,
big or small. Everything that comes to you, it’s a sign. If you can catch it,
life becomes a tad bit easier else you can still manage.
So,
getting back to the autumn leaves! Well I am at that stage of life, where things
in store are clear yet blurred. None of us ever know what future holds, true
that. But when a certain event begins to shape up and everything else starts to
fall in place to let that event begin in the way it is planned, your dreams /
hopes / anticipations / predictions / desires start to froth on the surface and
you begin to picture your tomorrow according. The beauty of this is that the
future is still unknown but the hopes we carry makes us visualize a certain
future and in our heads, we see the events happening. But of course, all of
that won’t essentially happen the way we have pictured. But that doesn't stop
us from doing so; even if it makes us oh! So vulnerable!!! :)
I
have been doing this since last few weeks. My hopes about a certain event are
brimming high. I have visualized a certain set of days so many times in my head
that they almost seem real to me now. But all of this, doesn't mean, it shall
all happen the way I have pictured it in my head! There are 50% chances (or so I
think) of these things to go the way I have pictured it in my head and so 50%
chances that they go in the complete opposite direction…!
I
guess seeing the falling autumn leaves, I am to learn to know, that it is OKAY!
If what I dream of is meant to be it will find its way. If it’s not meant to
be, no matter what is done, by whatever means, it shall somehow end up being a
mess and not happen. How much ever pain the trees or the leaves might have to
suffer, when the leaves fall from the tree, the tree survives and the leaves
accept their destiny and sways with the blowing wind to find its destiny,
whatever that is. But that shall not stop me from hoping or dreaming, I dunno
how it's ought to be, but that’s how it shall be with me!! :)
Looking
forward to my tomorrow, where I have a few hopes and dreams waiting to turn to
reality but in the deep dark nights, I am preparing myself for the worst
outcome that could be and have the courage to accept and face the situation.
Coz if that is what happened, that was meant to be !!! Maybe not now, but few
years down the line, I shall look back and understand, why all that happened,
whatever that happened, good or bad was momentary, in the end it’s all good!!!
:)
