Everything happens for a reason

The ups the downs, the all time changing landscape of life is definitely not without reason. Every person one meets has personal stories to highlight, how unavoidable circumstances created storms of good and bad in living. Actually life is perhaps what happens when we are busy planning other things.

Looking back , I must admit that most of my seasoning has happened as a result of bitter realities. Unlucky are the ones who always had unchallenged cushioned sailing lives. If you have not faced a sea storm you don’t know how to adjust the sail to stand the wind.

Its only those people who have fought the rage of circumstances will have the skill to row steadily juggling the tormenting flow of unseen events.

Holding on cooly to the ground when the surroundings compel one to shunt between rage, fear, anxiety and emotions is actual maturity. Aaha! easier said than done. Situations that create moral conflict “to move or not/ yes or no” are at times taxing.

But we are all here on an unwritten contract of service to this universe for an undeclared duration. Since we are all in the same boat on uncertainties, we should learn the art of acceptance. The capability to live in the present moment accepting all blessings is a huge asset for some.

Mourning, brooding, complaining are basic responses. But smiling and moving through good and bad is definitely a consciously nurtured virtue.

But all said and done. Today I stand at a crossroad of huge happiness and uncontrolled emotions as my little boy is getting married across the globe in a week from now and I the single mom cannot make it to be there physically.

It’s Durga Puja here which means family bonding, celebrations and happiness. This soul here is already feeling left out. Nothing to get on to the spirit of the season. Over all that imagine your little Jeetla getting married in the midst of the mountains of Colorado in the company of his brother and cousins. Me the mother here is balancing sentiments and reality. Life will definitely move. I am not looking for words of comparison with anyone else. But this is life. Everything is possible and acceptance and moving on is what’s most practical.

Prayers, blessings, courage, love everything galore for Jeet and Kylie.

Children stay happy across this globe. Ma is with you in spirit and soul.
