Why are you
downcast,O my soul? Why so disturbed within me? Put your hope in God,
for I will yet praise him, my Savior and my God. Psalm 42-11
It's been
one long month that I haven't thought anything to pen down. How does
that feel for someone who is called to do so? A lazy workman? Or an
unfaithful being? Or a reluctant sloth? Every day I wake up to an
annoying alarm ringing in my ears. I plan the busy schedule and set
out for the daily business. And then come back, stare at the ceiling, connecting dots when I shut my eyes and the day ends. Every day, the same,
feeling nothing inside, except empty. One fine day I realized that I
had stopped reacting to situations, even to the complex ones. May it
be gloomy or happy,I just stopped. Writers feel numb sometimes. It
makes me feel so inconvenient that I knew not what to write. There
may be these two cases that I think I have observed. It might me
that, I have many things on my mind that I can't put down anything
or, this case that I have absolutely nothing, except the fading
background. The way I get experienced is way too unusual. Being
exposed to the smoke of the traffic, books, cultures, colors,
literature, nature, food, and the gravity of the big planet, drives
me to the desk I long to sit at. And pull out the big blue diary to
pour out the anxiety, frustration, delight, humor, praise, huh, what
not. At the end of the day, the flavors combine to form a tinge of
essence which helps me find the purpose of life to know exactly what
it really means. I have learned that I'd be stable when I write at
least two lines of praise on my daily basis. Maybe, that's my
appointment to pour it all out. It might be dramatic but it's true
that writers need solace, rather I wish to say, writing is the
solace. At least for me. :)
