MY AUTHENTIC LIFE

What is my authentic life........Have we ever inquired ourselves..........
Perhaps at some time or may be never.........

How much time it takes to decide whether or not you like a certain thing....or a situation.....or an event.....or a person.......a place.....or anything for that matter........
May be a few seconds........or a few minutes........or a few hours ......or a few days......or months or years...

Actually we know what pleases us or what gives us happiness....and what takes away our joy......
Still we hardly have time to give it a thought....introspect self to know the hidden as well as open likings......
We do have time for work .....gossip......eating.........sleeping....whiling away time.....so many other jobs....

We tend to do everything that gives us......or seems to give us the pleasure....that we seek at material level....
We hardly have an inclination......or a desire to seek the unseen....the unexplored......the secret longings of the self.....the real cravings...which are not close to being materialistic in essence......

That life that we might long for may be much different ...........from the way we actually are leading our life..........
When did we last try to explore the night sky to gaze at the twinkling stars.......
The uninterrupted silence of the city at night..........
The clear sound of waves striking the rocks at night.......
The sound of insects disturbing the peace of a hilly terrain......the deep forest......
The shining lights reflecting back from the water.....making unique patterns.....

Who has seen the morning sun changing color with each second.....
What about an innocent smile on the face of a child...........

What about a long stroll on the bank of a river ...........with a loved one.........
How about simply listening to the favorite music.........
How would i like my mornings.........my evenings.............

Do we have............. the patience to think ...........and courage to accept......
the means to let the life happen......
