Is that all?

It is like a river flowing through the valley. It is picture perfect. Clear water, rich vegetation, perfectly serene and very divine. It is where birds chirp, flowers bloom, waters sing and the winds move soothing everything they comes across.

The river flows calmly, hiding its strong undercurrents. For its waters, the flow has been smooth until now. It occasionally came across huge mountains and big rocks, which it managed to pass clear of. There were a few falls but the river has survived them all. For the river, the journey so far has been like a dream. It could never get better than this. But...

How long will the journey be dream like? How long will the path be free of obstacles? Just flowing through the valley, is this all? Will the river ever rise to the heights of the mountains? Is meeting the ocean the sole goal? Is it the only reason for this journey and the only end?

It's cloudy today!

For me, today is one of those bad days when you have lots to say but can't write a word. The feelings are all intertwined. One thought of chain gets connected with the other and ends with another.

It is something like a cloudy afternoon. The sun wants to shine hard on the ground but the clouds come in between. The clouds are holding back a thousand water drops that are eager to wet the soil but this just does not happen because the wind doesn't blow right.

I have this huge urge to fill this space but a thousand thoughts cross my mind at once. The thoughts want to come down as words but the feeling is just not right.

I am now waiting for the wind to blow, the clouds to pour and the sunshine to come through.
