25 F, freezing rain and icy condition causing the livelihood to still, a sense of silence all around. A temperature drop of 45 deg in two days gets everyone locked up in their houses, strangled without power and food. Such is the blow of mother nature when it just begins to cool and none prepared for that. Looking out from my apartment I still wonder why the roads are not clear yet, why the livelihood is not active yet. But somewhere I see it as a signal, a green one to put the thinking hat on and realize the amount of silence around. The only sounds around one has are the clock's tick and the cell phone beeps.
Despite all these sounds, sometimes it feels there're countless sounds in the mind going on. Does the mind ever take a pause from thinking or passing a thought? A perfect moment to realize the whats, whens, hows and whys. Funny how the emptiness around symbolizes there's no space left in the mind unless all the thoughts are cleared out. And how the cloudy, gloomy weather relates to the mental clouds that need to be cleared to make way for the new day and welcome the bright sunlight. Sometimes in life we wait for such moments to figure out all the questions yet to be answered, all the problems yet to be solved and let mind do the talking. Although we believe nature's red signal to go out and getting locked isn't a good one, but it actually is a green signal for the mind to turn on the cruise control and accelerate. Sit still and let it take you to the highest mountain; no ride will be meaningless, no progress will be straight one and no compulsions will even persuade. Boundless, Limitless let it enjoy the pleasure of consciousness, sympathy and inner toughness. Soon there shall be light, soon it'll be bright and soon it'll be a new day. A new day, a new beginning and a fresh mind to begin with. Let there be sunlight and let the noise begin. Enjoy the Quietude while you can because soon the clouds will start forming.
