My little wonderland

Recently I was trekking up a hill.A wide smile seemed to be pasted on my face as I trudged forward amidst the greenery.Dim sun rays just about managed to find the way through the trees and kiss the ground.The air was fresh.I could hear little birdies chirp away to glory at a distance.They seemed as cheerful as I was. Carelessly,aimlessly I walked .Suddenly a strange quietude prevailed.I stopped where I stood and the silence around me gripped me.Sudden astounding stillness.Not even a leaf moved.No breeze.I stared blankly at the sturdy trees and they stared back at me.The peaceful silence pierced through me,Ah!the sweet pain.

And I became aware of myself,my existence,my presence amidst the nature……..!It was a tingling ecstatic sensation.I was there, as still as I could be.The time ticked by but the moments seemed frozen.Even thoughts in my mind seemed to have wandered far away.A calm voidness.

The tranquility of the surrounding almost intoxicated me.The pleasure was unbearable to endure and instantaneously I blinked.AND I broke the stillness,the frozen beauty of the idyllic place.Everything resumed.Did I regret that?Of course not.However long it lasted,it was beautiful.Only few moments but some of the best I suppose.

Isn’t life very much like that?Many a times we come across wonderful people for a brief interval of time,but they leave behind footprints in our lives.More often than not,best incidents occur but do they last for long?No,they don’t.They take place and what we carry with us are those beautiful ,lovely moments,the memories .Why then do we try to cling on?Why get hooked at one point and make our lives miserable?Why expect them to last longer?We constantly fear change in our lives!!Why?when we all are very well aware, that nothing,absolutely NOTHING LASTS FOREVER!!!!!!
