Letter from Self



Dear Sid…


They say that the Universe Conspires
When you desire something with heart
To make it happen
To make you journey
Toward your goal
To make you chase your dreams
Which you hitherto did not know
Existed


It will lay down the path
And you will not even know
And that path will cross the paths
Of others on similar journeys of their own
Some might join you on your path
You might join someone else
And some will have to be bade goodbye


The goal may not be in sight
Even the path may seem wrong and bleak
How is one supposed
To keep it all together then?
How is one supposed
To keep sane, when there doesn’t seem to be
Any apparent plan


Must keep the faith
Must accept the change
And just, Be
You can’t have someone else
Telling you your purpose
Or right path for you
Leave that job to the Universe
And it will take care of it all


And as long as the Desire
Is in there, strong and alive
Every achievement, every heartbreak
Each one of your friends
And people you pass by on the road
Will be there for a reason
Keep your eyes open for those signs


And remember, Universe doesn’t to it
All by itself
It will ask of you sometimes
In a language that you never learnt
But you must answer its call
It will test you at every juncture
For the strength of your desire
So don’t for a moment forget
What you, and I mean YOU
Desire
For the moment you start playing
Someone else’s game
You will have lost your path
And it might be a while
Before you realize it
And find your way back
And Time may not always be your best friend


So dear, don’t weep for any loss
The only loss you must regret
Is the loss of your
Self


Yours truly,


(Your)Self
