Choices! What will it be? #65

The night which passed was a bit heavy on me. Some thing lay heavy on my heart. A few questions were not addressed as they could. I woke up with a headache but couldn't bear this condition further. I leave my home without thinking about where to go.

My feet on the way which feel so familiar to me. The same path which I passed many times in my childhood. A nostalgic lightness started to surround me.

a conversation with nature.

My unaddressed questions peeped from my mind. I thought about why we take pleasure in other sadness or in other problems. Why are we so interested in the matters of our co-existers?

Suddenly a light flashed on the horizon and an intuition fell on my senses. I feel this is because of our own deficiencies in happiness. Our envy from the success of others, compels our happiness. We thought everybody should face the same thing we face.

I departed from the main path and enter the jungle where the forest is not very thick. The lash green leaves provide coolness to my burning eyes.

Suddenly, the bunches of many colorful wild flowers come in front of me. I feel my mind can translate this view to solve my problem. Nature creates everyone equally with their unique potential. Now it depends on our self how much effort we could put to polish and apply our abilities.

I leave these sweet colored flowers behind and start walking again. The number of trees is increasing. A certain dankness arises, but I continue my walk. I feel I'm in a magnetic field which pulls me towards it. Walking through dense bushes, I finally reached a very familiar site of a very old mulberry tree.

A lot of berries fell due to last night's storm. But a few were still hanging on branches. I try to pick a few and get them. I put a berry in my mouth and an unexpectedly sweet and juicy taste touched my taste buds. The delicious taste turns into a fact that those who take an unusual path, life reveals its hidden gems to them.

The lightness of my nerves is increasing now. I walk again and make my way through the blades of wild plants. I felt some stinging sensation on my feet but just ignored it. The feeling of pleasure forces me to continue my conversation. The coagulation of the threads of my thoughts start to straighten up now.

I walk and walk until the main path again appears in front of me. I think the jungle provides me an opportunity to take a shortcut which I forgot. Taking that path again, a rush of my memories comes into my mind.

Here at this very point along the brim of a water stream, I feel my grandma with me. I hold her index finger and the ripe morning turn into an evening where you can see a half a moon in the sky blinking through the thin branches of acacia trees. I tell her that I'm afraid of the darkness emerging from the thin bushes. She smiled gently and told me that, in a few minutes, I will see a miracle in these long spread bushes. We walked and walked, the darkness increased and I tightly held her finger and looked up at the moon's light.

My grandmother asked me to look in the bushes again and I stunned on the view. Hundreds of fireflies glitter on the bushes. Blinking one after the other. All my terror went away. Grandma tells me that those who dare to face their fears and are capable of going through it must be rewarded with the sight of their part of fireflies.

The rustling of breeze in my ears brings me back to the present. The sun starts coming out behind the clouds and the rays reflect through the water of the stream. In the reflection I see myself clear, fresh and full of positive. The burden on my heart moves away and I see this world more clearly. I take the path back home and say goodbye to the long trees until I come here again for a conversation.
