THE PAUSE…

It takes us a moment to feel the rhythm of a song. A moment of silence… of depth to sink in the beauty of that music deep within you. Same goes for life. Now-a-days when life has become nothing more than a marathon, wherein each day we keep crossing a lap and heading towards the next- Simply running and running… When more than the zest to live, the pursuit of life has become a ‘Survival of the Fittest’ contest.

In the midst of all this chaos around us, we have our moments. Moments when we wish to hold time, to pause. Just to sit back and look through the paths we have travelled and the roads we are headed towards. All we need is that moment with ourselves. And for that one jiffy, we just close our eyes and reflect. Reflect on what we have accomplished- People we have earned; Lessons we have learned; Possessions we have forgone; Broken hearts we have mended; Tears we have wiped; Smiles we have spread; and Lives we have touched.

Moments when we don’t analyze the pros and cons of our next step, rather just look back and contemplate the journey we have been through. The strengths we have acquired and the weaknesses we have conquered.

Magical are these momentary pauses which gives us reflections for a lifetime. When we get hypnotized in our own thoughts- these self-enriching moments which give us the strength to conquer anything and everything. That is the pause, the moment to hold yourself back to set things right. That is the pause we need sometimes! That is the pause in the music of our which when resumed plays the most beautiful rhythm ever…
