Rest..

It is a quiet evening.

As a soft instrumental plays in my laptop, I can gradually feel a growing sense of freedom. A pattern of thoughts that had gripped the mind since the past few days is slowly bidding adieu.

I have been waiting for this moment. Ever since the thoughts had arrived, I had just been quietly observing, and sometimes getting totally involved too. A desire to impress, a certain feverishness played itself out. At the back of all this however, I knew that this too shall pass. This evening, I can sense them slowly taking leave. Stronger, more confident, and more clear about what I want, I quietly celebrate their departure and look forward to a new way of being and living for the next few days.

With this break from all the planning and the desire to impress, it is an oppurtunity, yet one more time, to just be in the moment.

Precious moments of rest, of reposing in the Self. Just me and my breath.

Deeply grateful, I bow down once again to You as You gently extricate me from the trappings of my mind and bless me with this freedom. :-)
