There are days I would like to stand in my balcony gazing at the rising Sun with my mind, heart and soul feeling completely empty and breath in the first fresh air of the day. There are days I would like to sit in the beach watching the sunset with the salty wind embracing me and once again the total emptiness taking over my mind and body. To me this is taking a break from the long hectic life that most of the time comprises of PAIN.
Constantly we are on the run. Let it be work, family life, daily chores etc. etc. Since the Sun rise to the night fall, we struggle to pass hundred hurdles, argue with thousand people, fight ten thousand problems, battle the army of hundred thousand unexpected circumstances and wrestle with one million feelings. How many of us would just stop, as in really STOP and take a long breath at least once just to refresh our energy and strength? Been caught up in the rat race, we ignore the simple things that can free us from the pain we suffer; may be not eternally but at least for one blissful moment. Normally we take a break in the form of going out with friends, night out at the cinema, dancing till we drop etc. However even then millions of feelings roam our mind and soul. There are even simpler things that can free us completely and transform our complex selves to a blank sheet. Now THAT is truly a break.
Take a moment from your busy, painful and complicated life and devote it merely to watch the sunset or see a butterfly scatter. Stand near a waterfall and listen to its rhythmic flow not only from your ears but from your heart and soul. Hear the innocent laughter of a child or see the trees dance to the breeze. Let go of all thoughts, deeds, responsibilities and feelings that cause pain and pressure. Experience the emptiness. Live the freedom. Clear the mind. Purify the soul. Feel the unexplainable sensation which I prefer to call “Nothingness”.
It won’t last for ever. It won’t solve all problems. It won’t grant you eternal peace. It is only momentary. Alas nothing last forever. However that single precious moment can be an enormous pressure releaser than one may anticipate. It’s a split second of simplicity; a getaway from the material world for sometimes it's just the time to rest and leave all your pain behind.
