The World Is Healing and So Are We!!!
Something which you must have heard from many people...your friend, colleagues or parents might have just said that to you..when you are low or clueless in the Lockdown period. But one thought is this really true????
A thought which struck my mind since lockdown, a week after it was implemented air got worth breathing with fewer pollutants, animals could see the earth as their home again and nature started having its own fun with some adventures. I told myself ‘World Is Healing’ and we may Heal ourselves with it and then there will all be something better for us to do in the coming years. Maybe something we might not have done so far.
It’s the phase of lockdown, something no one has been prepared about or even thought of, and as I planned to pen my thoughts and share my stories with you all, I planned to introduce it with one phrase which has been occupying my mind during most of this phase. As I sat to write down the blog, I called a friend and asked her if she feels that she has healed in this phase? And it was a quick answer with a smile YES :). ”Yes I have”
Adding further she said, I got a lot of time to think about myself, my career, and
how my creative part has enhanced my work front. In the middle of handling all by herself from managing home, her family she is happy to found her new self. Somewhere she is clear about what she wants to do in the coming years. For me it was such a delight to know how my friend has really found her new self in this phase. However, there is another story as well..I pinged another friend of mine asking him about his experiences and how he is coping with these times. To my surprise, he said he really doesn't know if he has healed himself at this time. He has a corporate job and has been very busy doing his work. He also shared that the communication gap has increased between him and his boss as they always think we are not working much because we are working from home..but it is a completely different story as he has to work extra hours and the work pressure is way beyond normal. But there was one thing he was happy about...In this time he discovered that he can also dedicatedly sit and meditate. :) #SelfDiscovery
I believe this phase is teaching us something..something which we will remember our entire life. Mostly, I am busy doing home chores as we don’t have any domestic help currently, engaging myself in cooking, trying new dishes as something or the other keeps me busy.
However, I still feel there is some healing inside..I am not over stressing or pushing myself to do things I don't really like..I am getting more clear about my thoughts...I know I can share and greet the world with it..I can pen them here..openly without any fear, without caring of what will people think about what I write.
It wouldn't be wrong to say that a lot has happened over these months. But looking at the brighter side, we always saw humans manipulating the environment now a wave has struck that will make us respect the nature and time we have in this world.
If this lockdown ends with the understanding that life is more valuable then how we take it, I guess the healing is done, and this is what we have to find in ourselves a reason to make ourselves better and healed from all the entangled chords of chaos.
