CHASING THE INVISIBLE

[olivia samanta]

I was sitting in my room infront of my window gazing outside the beautiful raindrops that aspire me to think so much about life....i felt that mediocrity & anonymity are the two safest choice & if i choose to be different i would be gone with the wind....i learnt something that day-DONT BOTHER TRYING TO EXPLAIN YOUR EMOTION...LIVE EVERYTHING AS INTENSELY AS YOU CAN & KEEP WHATEVER YOU FELT AS A GIFT FROM GOD..IF U THINK THAT YOU WONT BE ABLE TO STAND A WORLD IN WHICH LIVING IS MORE IMPORTANT THAN UNDERSTANDING, THEN GIVE UP LIFE NOW! THE BEST WAY TO DESTROY THE BRIDGE BETWEEN THE VISIBLE & THE INVISIBLE IS TRYING TO EXPLAIN YOUR EMOTIONS!! so many thoughts crept to my mind...my instinct said-I DONT BELIEVE IN THE CURATIVE POWERS OF SUFFERING & TRAGEDY;THEY HAPPEN BECAUSE THEY ARE PART OF LIFE & SHOUDN'T BE SEEN AS A PUNISHMENT..THE UNIVERSE TELLS US WHEN WE ARE WRONG BY TAKING AWAY WHAT IS MOST IMPORTANT TO US :OUR FRIENDS!! then i remembered a very true thing that often encircled my mind...OUR FRIENDS ARE THOSE WHO ARE WITH US WHEN THE GOOD THINGS HAPPEN.THEY CHEER US ON & ARE PLEASED BY OUR TRIUMPHS..FALSE FRIENDS ONLY APPEAR AT DIFFICULT TIMES,WITH THEIR SAD,SUPPORTIVE FACES,WHEN,IN FACT,OUR SUFFERING IS SERVING TO CONSOLE THEMFOR THEIR MISERABLE LIVES!!
Finally towards the end i would say that it is a constant source of surprise to me to discover that other people were also in search of that very island & that they find it maybe in my writings..1 person tells another person about it,the mysterious chain grows,& what i thought of as a solitary exercise becomes a bridge,a boat,a means by which souls can travel & communicate............


THE BOOK WRITES ITSELF,THE WRITER IS JUST THE TYPIST!!!
