River is flowing, I wanted to go upstream(where I saw my silver flower) & it was calmer that day. I saw the opportunity. I have plans where I wanted to go. So, I jumped in the river. The weather become darker & lightening started. Suddenly flow get intense. I was unable to get anywhere, I lost the control over me. I was flowing freely. River has thrown me to the other side of the shore, now I am at a place of which I have no knowledge at all. It’s all new there & I’m injured too. I was nervous & hungry. Then night came I was sitting near a tree alone with myself thinking about home & how foolish I’m to I jump without thinking about the outcome. I was hopeless and lost.

After spending few days there, alone & eating alone. One morning I saw bunch of turtle moving towards one direction in a queue. I followed them to find that they are moving towards the island where I saw my silver flower but after following them for few days, I found out they all are going into a small hole. Suddenly I have nowhere to go. Again I lost my purpose, My goal is not visible & I am lost again. I slept in the open sky beneath the stars. Next day I saw birds flock making noise & going towards a particular direction, I saw bird came in front of me, sees me & then looks in the direction of his flock & then looked back into my eyes as if it was a message. A whisper “Follow us”. I followed them. I followed them for few hours then they disappear. I was alone in new area which was near the sea where I can see island(which has silver flower) & boat which lead me there. I jump into the boat & reach my destination, my Silver flower.

The mountain with Golden flower

When I was sitting there with my silver flower I got a new vision, I saw a mountain above which there is a golden flower, it was shining like a sun in the sky. Then suddenly wind started to blow in one direction & I know where to move next.

It’s about believing in yourself & following a path which your heart told you to follow. Understand you will find answer with time.
