Reflection on 2006
| Today - as is my habit at the end of every year - I am deeply reflective. | |
|
The events that have transpired from the time I left the US in 2004 until today, the last day of 2006, convinced me even more that change is the only thing constant. The rest are just moments of our own awareness - snapshots within the transition. |
|
Many of the events from these past 2 years were global in scale and are now deeply etched into humanity’s consciousness. From the majorly catastrophic Asian tsunami, to today, the execution of Sadam Hussein. Yet, if I ask you whether 2 yrs ago today, whether you had even had the inclinations that any of these things would have happened, I’d think you’d answer with the negative. This is just to show how incredulous these said events have been. |

The same deep and lasting changes also happened in my personal life. People passes through while indelibly weaving their lives with mine. Places, events - some painful, some joyful. Changes in beliefs and outlooks. Certain resolutions fall by the wayside, others strengthened, yet certain others are formed. |
|
|
In the midst of all this, 2 things remain: me and change itself. |
|
|
Then the question is not how to just cope with the constant ebb and flow of life, but how to thrive in this constant shifting of awareness. It’s easy to say that all that was, have made me what I become, but do I have what it takes to take on tomorrow? |
|
|
With 2007 moments away from being part of my now, I am reflective. And I wonder, what else does life has in store for me? |
