I have found a way to balance with the rudder of reason and the sail of passion. Worth sharing again: These walls ...right here, form the sanctuary of my soul. Like a well-protected harbor, the ship of my 'Self' chooses to anchor here daily. It just feels safe, here. Everyone has a story to tell. And gregarious as I am, I love to talk. But lately, I have been struggling for words. So I have learnt to carve. I carve my story on these walls. But this is an arduous task. For one thing, 'Anger' never fails to pay me a visit here...😊 Stubborn as he is, he'd do everything to make me yell, scream....deluding me to think that it will help. (He's quite a champ at it 😄) But over time, his presence has had an almost antagonistic effect on me. I smile at him beatifically and much to his discontent, find myself drawn into an almost devotional silence, as I continue to carve.... He leaves. I have been practising an almost military style watch over the thoughts that visit me here, arise here. After all, this harbor of my soul needs to be sheltered from all kinds of plague, abuse, malice, desperation, extremism. Even religious devotion and duty is screened here for authenticity! It's constant hard work and I want to do it. Something tells me I can, because I need it to be strong. 'Devo farmi le ossa' is how they say it in Italian. "I need to make my bones". #burnwithpassion #story#harbour#soul#thought#flow#strong#silent#devotion#exercise#your#thoughts#sweat#fuel#squashforlife#instasport#instafit#igers#Instagram #instaaddict #thoughtoftheday#popularpic #instadaily#karachi #igersPakistan
