Ahoy there! Do I have enough material to write tonight? Maybe. Do I get enough sleep before the upcoming trip? No, definitely not. We have been ticking the 24 hours, 12 hours and 6 hours countdowns before the trip and there is only a hand full of hours left before we set out on this trip. I have been trying to sleep since late afternoon but only in vain. This is my one and only trouble before any trip. I just cannot close my eyes and rest. So, I am here finally to do some scribbling to you, Bubbles \(^_^)/
This time I have a leaky fuel lid, a shaky gear lever and a 85% worn-out front tyre to worry about in the "lorry". *Grins* Not just before a trip, be it anything that I am anticipating in Life, I just get so well prepared and keep my eyes wide open. For what? For any omens, good or bad, I keep myself fully alert to pick it up and sometimes advance the trip departure or even cancel it right away. I remember once I started hesitantly from home after Daff kept dragging me while starting the bike and I ended up returning home after completing only 50 Kms from home.
Likewise, it is always better in Life to look for omens. Good or bad, they just show themselves for very less time that we cannot afford to catch a second glimpse of them once they are gone. Better to be safe than sorry they say. Looking for omens does help. Like how we met the first time on a holy Friday and ever since then, knowingly or unknowingly our meets used to happen only on Fridays most of the time. Even our last meet on Nov 24th was a Friday. *Smiles* Oh, why would I let go of you, Bubbles? *Winks*
Life is not mere omens. Life is not a mere of anything specific. I agree. Do you? Our Life, this is. It has been of varied sorts. In some way or the other, what has not faded is our bonding. Although we call this silence, there has been so much flying around between us in this period. We care only for what we live for. Yet, we live only for whom we care for. Saint, eh? *Laughs* It may seem to be pointlessly scribbling just for the sake of it. But, most of what we are unable to express falls out only in such scribbling.
We will be doing a 700 Kms trip. But, it will be only one Kilometer or less in one minute. So, given this excitement or anxiety or whatever that is keeping me awake, when I take it up tomorrow, I will do it only one kilometer a minute. Well, that is how Life is as well. We may have so many mountains in front of us. But, we are going to take only one step at a time. And, just like how I complete my trip in 700 minutes, we will cover those huge towering mountains in Life by taking the necessary steps, one at a time. So, why worry about who is ahead of you and who is being termed incapable?
Still, just like how I am not able to sleep, in Life we will be carrying this similar anxiety or impatience or excitement or whatever until we actually take it up. Once we are there, we will do it fine. Because, if we were not destined, we wouldn't have even been taken there. That is why I always stick to hope. If you and me were not destined to be here together forever, you will not even be reading this. Since we are, we will. All it takes is to make the push from inside at the right moment. Everything else will be taken care of. Just like how you should have spoken when it mattered. If you had, I would be talking this to you in person. *Grins*
Alright, we are not perfectionists yet. We do look to become perfect but we are still work in progress as is everyone else. I completely agree when people say, to err is human. I did make a mistake when I did not reach the right level in Life but uttered what I wanted to you. You, on the other hand did not speak out when it mattered. We will get our time. We will speak out. Until then, we need to take care of ourselves and look towards omens and decide accordingly. Err, the lamp is gone now. I could see the change in the display picture. Well, those eyessssssssssssssss are back. *Whistles and howls* Let the good times roll. Time to get some sleep. Time to unleash the beast tomorrow. Time for a relaxing ride in few hours. May I find your presence hovering around me while on the highways as ever. Bubbles \(^_^)/ -rPhoenix
