A journey from D 2 A
It had been a long journey; yes a long
journey, indeed a very long one. It was tiresome, tedious, boring, monotonous,
uninteresting and dry. I remember every detail of the journey crystal clear.
The entire gamut of the journey was filled with steep ascending and sharp
tumbling. I traveled through the curves of every possible degree. I heard
someone naming it sweetly as ‘Hair Pins.’ The end was the worst. I returned to
the same place where I began. Every journey has a destination. I too had one.
But somewhere I took a wrong turn. I fell slowly, very slowly and steadily. I
looked at my G.P.S to check my route. It had an interesting shape as that of a
‘D’. I realized with an alarm in my mind that this ‘D’ stands for all my
difficulties.
I had a difficult moment to think
about it all once again. I was down, sad, moody, and anxious about the past
failures. I was afraid to make another mistake. I did not have the courage to
face it all once again: if I fail. What will I do if I face another failure? I
had to find an answer to that question. In fact I had none. Yet, it was not
easy for me to give it up all once again. My destination called me with its
fairy tales, mythologies, legendaries, epics, fancy dresses and much more. I could
control myself no more with fear of failing once again. I suppose a very deep
and an interior call too worked well for me. I felt someone is calling me to
try once again, yet I lacked the courage to begin anew.
I started packing up things for another
journey. The reason was simple. I could not refuse to the deep call within me anymore.
I began the journey. The same old paths, I made sure that I make no mistakes
this time. I took the right turn in the place where I made mistake last time.
At that moment I felt that I am on top of the world. I succeeded. I realized that
my anxieties and worries were going away. It evoked a thought of joy, happiness
and a secret pride. I realized nothing more is on my way to stumble, topple and
tumble. But I realized that I fell
again.
For a moment I thought that all hilarity came
to an end. It’s exuberance no more. Tears rolled
down from my cheeks. The endless head of a river dried up. I had no courage to
open my eyes. I saw it but I do not want to face the reality. I opened my eyes slowly.
The bright light strained my eyes. I saw it. It contradicted my expectations. I
was far from where I began the journey. I wondered for a moment. I checked my
route map in my G.P.S.
The route was in the shape of ‘A.’ I had a
fall but an invincible rugged pieces of wood came on my path. It backed me up
that I was pushed ahead. My success was the gift of that two invincible rugged
pieces of wood that made me invincible. At last I knew ‘A’ stands for an
‘Answer.’ My difficulties are answered. Every difficulty is changed into an
answer when a cross separates both beginning point and the end of a difficulty.
P.S. I am a cricket ball.
