In our course of living, we often chose to travel various
different paths – wandering alone or accompanied – towards what we like or
dislike. And the journey starts with us choosing a path to a place that we either
want to or wish to see.
But, sometimes what we want and what we wish we would want
are two very different things. They are like two minds of the same being. And
if one reflects us … what does the other do?
If we talk about wishes - don't they also do the same thing?
Sometimes if you are lucky, then yes both the paths meet at
some place eventually… otherwise I fear they may lead us very far off from
where we always wanted to be.
So why would our wishes drive us apart from what we want?
… It maybe because sometimes - we lie. We lie to ourselves
and so we lie to the world. We try to disguise we want into what we wish to
want. And then we try to carry it along, all the way long – all our lifetimes
and sometimes also forgetting that it is just a disguise and nothing more. We
try to like it, love it, and make it our life. We wear the disguise ourselves –
day in and day out.
Until of course there comes a day, when we wake up and fail
to recognize ourselves. The reflection staring back at us is not our reflection
at all – the place we have reached is not the place we wanted to reach at all!
That is the day, when we are forced to travel back and trace the path - to all
the disguises we have worn - and take them off - one by one.
Slowly peeling them off … slowly revealing ourselves.
Feeling
new again. Free of everything else. Just ourselves.
Ready to start again.
