The End

Today someone shared a remarkable piece of wisdom with me . A close friend said that "Everything was going to be good in the end ..and if it wasn't all good ..Then it just wasn't the end " . It was precisely what I needed to hear on some level.

I guess its so true . Its so tempting to classify something as an "ending" . To think of things as being so final and unchangeable. It makes moving on easier I guess ..And coming to terms with a loss ...Or makes me wake up and take notice of whets really important for me to sustain .

This year has been full of surprises .
I've been far more reckless than in the years before and life has proved to be that much more challenging and mesmerizing. And more often than not - While I have been tempted on one hand to classify things as over and done with , write off conversations , people , dreams and relationships ..on the other hand ..there has also been the growing awareness than what might look like an ending is probably not..
and I'm beginning to realise that no matter what happens - its my reactions that define my life , far more than what gets sent my way through the cosmic chaos

I guess Endings are always "in betweens"..on journeys whose destinations are unknown , friendships that are yet to blossom and relationships that are yet to be tested. But some endings - are finite . And are more often than not beginnings ..On other interesting journeys of the mind . Just as twilight dawns into the day , unknowingly with a whisper of certainty.

I guess I will have to wait another 4-5 years before finding out the fate of my many questions and resolutions ..To see if they are merely the ends of a beginning ..Or the beginnings of an end...to understand their significance in the story of my life ..maybe I'll forget how much it hurt , hopefully I wont forget how much I loved , maybe I'll hold on to the dream , maybe I'll step up to the challenge , or maybe there will be a surprise. Time as usual will decide , what will get highlighted and what will get edited.

Meanwhile Life is calling - I guess I better turn the phone back on.
