Breathe Free ... :-)

The winters are here but still not quite here. Enjoying the slight chill in the air, and this busy and happy phase of my life. The past few days have been a lot of travel - innumerable auto, bus and train rides, and I loved it! My window seat moments that I spent while traveling, with beautiful music plugged into my ears, were sheer bliss. These were my moments of just being. When He makes you a little busy you know how to hunt out the moments to connect! ;-)

As I make an attempt at capturing some of these moments, I can't help wondering how life has changed in the past few months! The world is a lot more beautiful, people are just so loving, and there is that general sense of well being and happiness around.

It is difficult to imagine how just even a few months back I was reeling from the effects of a chaotic life.

As the soft wind gently blows my hair and I admire the city beautifully lit up with neon lights, I can't help feeling immensely grateful for the freedom and the deep sense of joy that has filled the heart now. The best part is that I know this is for keeps! I know, somehow at some level, I have crossed over and I will not be bothered again. My every step, every breath can only be that of a deep sense of gratitude.

Hmmm! Each time I pen down my thoughts, I do my best to express what is there in my heart yet it leaves me with a feeling that my words have not done full justice to what I feel. Reminds me of what Guruji says, “The entire life is a futile exercise to express the inexpressible.” Every word we say, every word we write, every song we sing can only be an attempt at expressing, for the treasures of the heart are so much and so deep that words cannot reach it.

Giving up, I just smile my smile, a smile that comes from that beautiful, untouched place somewhere so deep within :-)
