Moments of solitude

It was an awesome summer evening and was as inspiring as it should be. The sky reflected a blend of gold, pink and orange colors from the setting Sun. The serene waters stretched through the horizon reflecting a silvery luster of pearls. As far as eyes could see, the ocean looked very much complete and absorbing. Seagulls made occasional take offs between the rocks by the shore, cut off from the human contact. Sea lions popped up here and there as if they were entertaining the lone spectator. Cool breeze gently touched the cheeks, while gushing waves often high and low quietened down the not so very quite self. It was such a picture perfect weather, that everything was just as right, at the right time and in the right place, exactly the way it is meant to be. Awed at the splendor of the sky and the nature’s beauty, I quietly admired the creator while pouring out praises to his detail in putting things together. I soaked myself in those intimate moments with nature, which as usual was at it’s best. It was indeed the best solitude ever, where I’ve had those ultimate conversations with myself that I’ve neither had before nor could ever comprehend. As I filled up my eyes with the depth of the ocean, it is as if all of a sudden I saw everything afresh and clearer than ever before. It is as if blind sightedness just folded itself into eternity and the vision is all new. Nothing around has changed, everything appeared as it is, as it appeared several years ago but there was a dramatic change in perception and attitude, a very new side of it. I’ve had happiness that outweighed any other material joys of the world. My heart felt infinite emotions of joy, love, peace and serenity; I was in ecstasy.

One more time, I sensed positive vibes that gave a new strength, a new courage to keep going. Solitude is positive, when nature is, as inspiring and intriguing as it is. Moments of solitude open oneself up to the unknown dimensions; they help introducing 'yourself' to the other 'you' as they did to me by the Pacific coast!
