~Cleansing of the Sea~
Have you ever came close eye
to an eye ..that you stared at your mind and thoughts. What does it look like.
I imagine it to be a net… different ropes knotted with each other to create a
net. Thoughts flows rapidly within the chain of ropes, yet our troubled
thoughts and worries stumbles in theses knots.. Suffocating, calling to be
untangled.
The exercise of detangling
is merely not an easy journey… Whenever I use to have a chocking thoughts
calling on me to release it when I was younger the ultimate way is to throw my
thoughts towards the sea.
It was just as the
sunlight breaking though the sea, my feet have walked slowly many times this path
yet unsure if I submit my breathless thoughts and will it be
received by the sea. Somehow as the
light slowly awakes the sleeping sea and shore, it embrace you with tiny mists
..unseen ..Without me noticing easing the knots that suffocates my thoughts. My
eyes absorbing calmness of the just awaking sea. My ears are suddenly starting
to hear that this sea is breathing just like me …Back and fro the waves are
inhaling air...The waves steers melodies that my worries were not hearing its
music before.
There I was freeing my
troublesome towards these naughty waves ,,, as innocent child plays the running
game.. waves back and fro …learning what had been weighing as troubles of the
world is now vanishing with the touch of
water droplets… I go inward to my mind, I find it a blank page …there not an
even one scribble of thoughts. There I was freed ..my mind as vast as the sea
…weighing lighter as its waters
So if you ever find yourself
as me getting suffocated in thoughts, take yourself as close as you can to
touch the sea and listen to the melodic conversation of the waves releasing your
worries it will proudly wash it a way.
