Of the nature of life....

And so it is.....

one more time 

that... 

the weather change brings out the philosopher, the poet, the artist, the melancholia in some of us...

and how wonderful is that!! 

I quite enjoy these trysts with my thoughts...

Sharing one with you all..... 

Every phase in life is fraught with its shares of ups and downs, 

that is what life is all about really.....

While we seldom appreciate the ups we oft allow the downs to overpower our being. 

When faced with such a predicament I am reminded of  the words of the pater, sometimes in a tone somewhat annoyed at my lack of a clear understanding of the inherent 'nature' of life! 

"Praachal, everything in life is transient. After you have spent some precious time sorting it out, don't fret or ponder over it indiscriminately. Just leave everything that is bothering you and concentrate on your work. Whatever it might be, will sort itself out sooner or later. 

And so I have always trudged along......

strongly focused on the tasks at hand and not ever (well almost! never) allowing the downs to take over my thought processes completely... 

Sometimes just sometimes, I must admit even with the awareness that I had what it takes, it did take all that I had....(Feb 17, 2016)
