Threads of life


Posted by Hello

Threads of life - they’re just like cobwebs, aren’t they? Like this one - the orb web - that I spotted on my way back home the other day! Delicate, yet so strong. Woven beautifully - but beyond comprehension. Isn't it amazing how the entire web is built - hanging just onto the first thread - the one which is the most difficult one to make. One gust of wind in the right direction - and the journey starts every time (yet - to be ended again?) Isn’t it the same – the web of our life? The first steps - aren’t they the most difficult ones. The first cuts – aren't they the deepest ?

It’s truly amazing – the web of life - you think it’ll become simpler and clearer as you go along its threads, one by one, but it doesn’t - becomes so intricate that you almost feel like giving up the old one and starting anew one fine day - no questions asked, no strings attached! But the irony is that you are never able to do that. Weave your own web and leave it hanging in between. There are always some threads that come to haunt you when you turn your face away - remnants of the deeds left undone!

Have you ever got lost in your own web? I have – many times, so lost that I sometimes forget where I started from and where I really wanted to go. Funny thing, this want is - makes you build dreams, makes you go places - to fulfill your so called dreams. Till one day, you look back and discover that u can no longer unravel the threads of your web. You can no longer say, that Look, this is why I’m here!

Where am I?

All I can see from here is a meandering road - and a long lost trail. Wilderness – at its best! And all I can hear is - music - in the woods. The chirping of a bird and a distant hum - a hearty laugh and a scream - just the sound of my own heart beat. I strangely feel at peace here. Maybe this is it - eternity!

Maybe this is where my journey ends - maybe this is where I begin!
