Love etc!!

Love..

Why is it that the magical feeling that eludes us most of the time, is still the most coveted in this whole world?!! The one feeling that binds one heart to another irrespective of the kind of relation between them.. how does it feel to love? How does it feel to be loved? Where can we find it? How can we feel it?

It is indeed true that love is timeless, ageless and boundless. Sometimes it's the affectionate touch of a child or caring hug of a parent or a friend holding your hand or even your dog wagging it's tail when it sees you or it could be because of no specific reason at all. It's everywhere around you but still invisible. You will never find it when you go looking for it. You must let it come to you; for when it hits you, it hits you like a ton of bricks and you will never be the same person again.

I keep falling in love very frequently and every single time I feel more full and energetic and complete. The last time it hit me was about a week ago. My husband and I were going from Tirupati to Tirumala on foot. It is a 9 km trek and had around 3660 steps/stairs along the way. It is quite strenuous at few places but this time I never felt it. I never knew there was so much energy in me that kept me pulling towards my destination. As we were just more than halfway through, it started raining. We kept walking, and when there was no roof above us, completely got drenched. And we reached a the road and then suddenly there it was. Deep green valley by the road, clouds above the valley pouring over it, and there we stood -- above the clouds. Words cannot explain the fullness of feeling that I felt right then and there. I felt it in every single drop of rain that fell upon me. The ecstasy was so hard to contain within myself that I thought I would explode with emotion. One of the beauties of our life is that we feel:) And to be swept away in that endless emotion that I felt there was a great feeling indeed.

Another time love came upon me was when I was watching the sun set. Down he was going, like a red ball of fire, into the realm of unknown. I stood in my balcony, completely speechless, as I saw the change of colours in the horizon. The shades of amber that reflected in the lake had me captivated. I felt as if I was part of it. The feeling of us being part of something that amazing... isn't it Love?

There can be no love without passion. It has the power to make amazing things happen. It has led to discoveries and inventions and created solutions for many a problem. If you are full of love, no worry can ever touch you. But for you to feel it, you need to be free and carry an open mind. For love is wild, untamed and not often accepted by the society. We are all domesticated animals who have built a cage around us and try to live with in that. The so called society sets it's norms and rules as to how you should be living and we lead our lives by what others want us to do. And as time goes by we end up forgetting what we really want. We are so busy trying to please people we think we love, we forget our love for ourself. I, for one want to find out my true self before it's too late!!!
