Quicksand

Have not been blogging for a while… Had been wrestling with time… Well they say "Time and tide awaits for No man…"

Many a times my heart and my strength fails me when wrestling… But it is always hope and faith that keeps me "alive"…

Do you know what is "quicksand"? It is when everything seems right, seems fine… Seems "normal"… And all of a sudden you step into it… You get stuck in it… You started sinking… You panic… You start to struggle… You start to fear… That is when you get struck in quicker… You breathe hard… You start to worry… Your life flashes across you… All the things you want to do that is yet done… All the regrets you will carry with you if that is the end… They all come to haunt you… There are a lot of "What if?"… You just ain’t sure anymore… The more you start to fear… The more it eats into you… Then the more you struggle… The faster you sink….

That.. My friend.. is a "Quicksand"…

But once you get hold of yourself… When faith and hope returns… Your head starts to clear… You have a sound mind… Possibilities of escaping start to arise… You can feel it in you… You confidence returns… You are full of faith… That is when you stop struggling… You just stop struggle… And go with the flow…

You start to slow down your heart rate, your breathing… You look around… You look for opportunities… You saw one… You just reach out to grab it… Without hesitating… You got yourself a branch… You pull yourself out of your situation… You pull yourself out of "Quicksand"…

You saw others behind… And you look for the nearest vine… You throw it towards the others… One by one, you help them out as well…

From a zero… You became a hero… Because you stop letting your fear control you… Stop letting the situation scares you… Instead… You let what that has always been inside of you take the lead… You let go… And...

You let something bigger in you…Arise...
