In the park, we called life.

Life happens once but many are its moments. No two lives and events occurring in each life are ever the same. Like each life has a story.

Life story for each will happen till the last breath on this globe, but each phase and episode of age is filled with tales.

Who wants to know my story, I ain't no celeb or a V.I.P. Your story to be told and to be heard need not be for the outside, it's for the within, within you and your soul. You are the author, narrator, listener, and reader of your own life…why not?

The Age Now…

The age now as it happens, you just walk, rather you…

Take a walk in the park called Life.

Your life is a park that you’ve walked till now, the path at this park is extending each passing day. You can’t walk backward the path you’ve covered in this park (called life) but surely you should walk backward the path even if you cannot physically at least in your mind with the installed memories.

The memories of the life gone by, the path covered in this park are to be cherished and relived with a smile.

Strange are the ways of the mind, I walked past a lane as I was reaching home, this lane I used less now as there was another lane I now use each day to commute from work to home and vice versa.

I felt blessed and happy as I walked this lane today after so many years. It shocked me to ask myself why was I happy now walking this lane, the years I had used to commute this lane were tragic and sad. I was jobless after I had shut down my once-flourishing business. I was financially broke and with my creditors pressuring me for my many business loans. Life was very sad during those years. Walking the same path reminded me of those dreadful years but still, I was happy.

What was it that had me glad, maybe subconsciously I held that I had survived those terrible years and today I was much better placed financially in comparison to then.

Life is always in a dual…

Life has always had a feature of duality, happiness and sorrow, wise and foolish, big and small, healthy and sick, rich and poor, so many they are dual in each life, many a contrast then mentioned above and at the peak remained of each life is birth and death.

Life will happen for each to convey his or her tales. Convey them within oneself.

As the years are lived, revisit the moments and memories.

Learn from it the lessons taught, those sad moments that have brought lasting smiles today. Those who conveyed support, fled away when sought help.

The parents who had complained about our shortcomings had held us up each time we fell. The spouse who kept her pledge of the nuptial day to be by my side in the good and the bad. The friends and frolics of yesteryears, we wish we could relive them and hold them in a state of pause forever.

And childhood games and fun and all those silly situations.

Memories are to be visited in our moments of loneliness and you will always have a companion. So many occurrences were displayed in our lives, the ups and the fallen trajectories as if they were all preset by the author of our lives.

Let the memories feel like a flowing breeze in the park bringing with it some fresh air when they were good memories and also dust burning our eyes when the memories were sad. Each time there were lessons displayed and have built us experience now managing the do’s and don’ts of life.

Life Is A Park…

If life is a park then this park you will visit never a second time. Make the most of this joyous walking.

Walking happens with memories, all cherished if you hold it so. There’s a path ahead at this park, how long we none know. Let us walk the mind to affect all experiences of the past and tread a watchful path ahead.

Events of the past were not in vain, they occurred as designed by the author of every life, who resides above the sky.

Encourage to be filled with vigor and hope that if a breath was seeded to a being, it was that the being held prime in the cycle of time and existence, thus each life is important.

You and your life are a celebration and the unseen to us human eyes from the other world make a bow before you, O’ Life.

Love Life…
