Recently enough, I was a part of a 10 day long trek. No doubt, I enjoyed it to the fullest but more importantly, I learned to live it.
Heights bring the worst out of me. I was accompanied by the peers I made there all the time. And trust me, they had to help every two minutes. Carefree, up there, was just not my style.
But, being carefree was really important up there. (You cannot survive otherwise) I learned this during my last two days. Yeah, it took me 12,800 ft. above sea level to realize how important it is to just let go. And the moment, I did, I knew I was at the top. I was between the clouds, literally. Some of it that were raining and some of it emitting the beautiful sun rays. My realization series has a lot but this one thing nailed it.
The pleasure of letting go is best experienced. I can assure you this one thing - you won't regret it.
It strikes me, isn't life all about letting go? Letting go fears, worries, negative craps? Up there, for once, I let go all my fears. I forgot I had to come down to real life and strive through it. And, it did wonders. I enjoyed every moment and I lived it all.
Down here, in this mere city life, I'm trying to apply the rules that worked up there. In case, they won't, I'm just gonna go up and settle at the mountains. Period.

This is one of my favorite phrase/statement - 'Let Go' and it is not as simple as you have managed to write and execute. Most of us struggle and those who don't, understand that life is beyond those trivial checks and balances we run after, above those petty hooks we entangle in and larger than the miniscule patch of canvas we see. Thanks for sharing it.
ReplyDeleteI agree. It's a strong statement to believe and execute. Been in that maze for long enough to realize how difficult it is to come out of it. But, as difficult it is, it's important. Why waste a precious life stuck in a maze not worth spending time in? Most importantly, I've been there and know the suffering (not just this instance, but many others) What I've learned is, to come out of it, no matter how trivial. Life is best lived freely and we as mere humans, can't afford to waste it. :-)
