GRAY THOUGHTS


Today I woke up to the sound of rain. Grey skies welcomed me. I drove the car in silence on the empty road (today being a religious holiday here) searching for the sun. I wondered where it was right now. Did it know when it set last night that it won't be coming back this morning. Does the sun feel bitter about his change in routine? Does he feel threatened that he may drown in the sea at the edge of the earth forever? Is it the same blazing sun that starts jungle fires that sets at the horizon as an over-ripe peach? I also wondered why all the non living things repeat a cycle of life death and life where as we, humans are born and die; waiting for the judgement day to come alive again to face eternal life or death again.

Do human emotions behave the same way? Isn't it possible to admire someone, then fall in love, suddenly hate the very same man, feeling afraid and finally forget him. The news in the television is full of women who may have felt this way. Do emotions die or just change form like ice to water, water to vapour or the other way around. This brings me to why I am feeling grey. The question is how to break the ice? Do I have to melt myself, change my being to be more likeable? Won't a slight shift more to being vapour make me invisible? Or should I just stay as ice and wait for someone to walk my way with a glass in hand? Today as the rain pours and the steam rises from my cup of coffee, I wonder how long will it be till all is vapour and all that is left is an empty cup.

Music heals, but sometimes it also opens up old wounds...

  1. I don’t think emotions ever die, circumstances allows it to change form and lay dormant, if emotions die music wouldn’t be able to open old wounds :)

  2. I abosouletly agree with previous comment.
    Existence of the Sun is Eternal Truth.It sometime plays hide and seek,but has never changed its Originality.
    No matter how hot it becomes,we all love the way it is,because we know the importance of sun in our life.
    I think,true emotions behave exactly the same way.
