My folks who care for me or atleast I knew that I have had a lengthy sabbatical of say 3 months + from the din of this world.
What did the break do for me ?. Quite a bit of evolving. I had a few searching questions when I started looking inside or is it introspection and I found , evolving a lot more when I had multiple tell tale answers to those queries. Answers sometimes quite uncomfortable but most of the times meaningful.
I now learnt that Time perse is just not a healer but a great teacher. Let me not get into the details since the post may become an object of hate and ridicule.
What it offered me ?.
1. I could understand the difference between expectation and aspiration. The former in the hands of others and the latter in the hands of self. The difference was quite stark as is between chalk and cheese and thus the inference or teaching me the essence of disappointment and fulfillment.
2.The manipulator in the mind and the negotiator in the heart.
3.The conditionality of the mind and the unconditionality of the heart.
4.The tangible mind and the intangible heart.
The missive can just go on and on. It had just one pertinent thing... Learn and time to move on. I have now learnt to strike the right balance between the mind and the heart and not getting into unwanted tests like "did the chicken come first or ".
Time for me to challenge myself and not challenge others or things. To take a leaf out of Ben Franklin legacy, I shall have to invest in my strengths and positives rather than to be swayed by the tunes of others around me. I now understand what is "Pre-tirement" and thank God it has come before retirement.
Au revoir and so long.
