The mind is on the run as they dissect every inception of
thought. The past is lingering and the future wants to be conceptualized. Past
actions play repeatedly like a new reel – the conclusion is the same yet the
mind never tires from screening the story from a different light, every time it
plays. The future is in a hurry to be born. Both demand attention. The mind
tends to shrug off the present, unaware that ‘now’ has the key that can unlock
both the past and the future.
When I am at the beach, I follow a simple ritual. I take
midnight runs on empty beaches. The periodic sounds of the waves make sure that
neither past nor future resides in my mind. The feel of wet sand reminds me of
the present and the dim moonlight shows me the path. And, when I breathe the basic truth unfolds- I am here, now!
