Equilibrium?
It just started as a thought and then probably went too far. I was walking to school, it was little past noon. I had just crossed two blocks and I was hating the sun glaring all bright at me. I like sunny days but not such hot ones. I wished it would rain soon, I know it would and I just thought of the lake with all the vapours rising high to form those clouds I was longing so hard to see again. Its happening, without me or anyone else being so aware of it..steadiliy...constantly. We are lost in our own worlds and there's this silent world which keeps running unmonitored.
I was imagining pictures of it in my head now and I saw a blue sea having its silent transaction with the other equally vast blue. Quiet and peaceful...away from all the noises, the rushing and the fighting. Then I saw a small little boat, right in the middle of that huge silence...I didn't see anyone in it but I knew there was something and a weird thought struck me. Probably we all are here to save that thing in the boat. We all struggle in our worlds so that, that thing survives..there in the ocean, in that little boat! All that we are and work for, is somehow mysteriously linked to it. We dont care what it is, but its there and we have to keep going for it.
At that, I got back, all by myself, smiling in the middle of the road. As I moved on, I heard someone in me say, "I dont mind even that for a cause!"
