A butterfly finds its home on your shoulder for a while. You inhale deeply, perhaps trying to inhale more than just air.
You're there in the moment. You are.
And it's enough.
☯☯☯
The warmth of the blanket fills you up, while your brain tries to understand once again (and fails, once again) how time passes like a whisper when you're asleep. Maybe it's your alarm clock who's done the sin of waking you up, and can't meet his eyes with you anymore. Or perhaps it's someone you love (or who loves you?) who has had the misfortune of waking up earlier.
You take a yawn, wider than the width of an ocean, and turn the other side. Let me sleep for just 5 seconds. Just 5, you think with a smile, rather stupidly. You inhale deeply and hug the blanket.
You're there in the moment (sort of). You are.
And it's enough.
☯☯☯
Your eyes dart through the words printed, somehow brought into existence by another set of eyes. The words play tricks with you, whispering, soothing, singing, and dancing for you. They contain within themselves the history, the grandeur, the heritage of everything (mostly everything?) that has come before your existence.
You know you love them, and they love you back even harder. Time becomes slower, as if peeking at you from the window, envious, leaving its duties behind. You smile, inhale deeply and turn another page.
You're there in the moment. You are.
And it's enough.
☯ ☯ ☯
The book, written over 2600 years ago, is about a lot of things, from politics, to economics, to philosophy, to religion, but for me, it shall always remain a piece that helps me look at my life, and say (hopefully with a hint of a smile),
It's enough.
A text on contentment...
By Amritesh Mukherjee on 20 November 2021
A soft ray of sun falls on your back, birds are chirping (somewhere, everywhere?) around you, a gentle breeze washes over you, as you walk across a garden (or perhaps a jungle for the more adventurous at heart), the silky texture of grass leaving their mark on your feet, as you slowly touch the adjacent leaves, the rough bark of the tree. A cuckoo sings in the background to an imaginary audience. By Amritesh Mukherjee on 20 November 2021
