Shades of Life, 7 - A Passage, for a while..

On our normal day to day lives, when we move across from a place to another, a point to another, or might jus a thought to another, we need passages to travel through.

Passages on visualization are like bridges, canals and tunnels in our normal course of life which helps us to go across from one point to another but has no roles, besides that to play. In the same way that we have Passages as bridges on the road, we have those passages as People in our lives.

Passages in human lives are those people, and their emotions, which comes to support us, to give us their hand, or to show us the path to cross those troughs of our lives. Those are the vitals without whom it’s hard at that moment to survive, but the same people become the loose ends with time.

We never find the need to tie those loose ends, what we always find is the urge to shed them, especially when we are the traveler. But we should not forget, we will not always be in the same role. Today you might be the traveler, someday you will be the bridge.

While travelling, when we have a river to cross; we slow down, get onto the bridge, enjoy our time there walking and strolling, but the moment we are on the other side of it; we have crossed the bridge, we sped across, and never look back. The same way the life moves on, when people are those passages.

Those passages get hurt. Its normal Human Nature, for when we allow them to use us, we never consider that they will ever leave.

Sometimes we are the bullet, and sometimes the Grey Matter on the wall. Any role, the traveler or the bridge, that we play, we are not realistic-materialistic like a bridge without any vulnerability or Pain, but we are emotional fools, the Pain Absorbers. Just understand and don't overplay the role you are in today.

Someday you are the Pigeon and someday the statue.


But there is a lesson in every move whether you want to learn it or not. Any passages that you see or came across, departs are usual and painful, but creates barb-wires. Any of the two roles, either the rower or the Canal, that you are in, pain is equal, and grudge is heavy; anger is beyond control, and understanding seems missing.

If you come across one of those, always remember that nothing’s ever built to last. All good things come to an end.

And life always moves on..
