Superman and soaring eagles


I know I haven't really discovered anything new, but now I have proof. Life is weird.

Just when you start despairing, the sun shines through. And when complacency envelops you, something happens to cut away that envelope and expose you to a harsh reality. Then someone mellows the harshness and turns it into a distant unimportant memory. Such is life.

Just when the hair becomes the longest you had in your life, because the hair prefers stability to growth, you have to lose them. And then when you hide your naked head from everyone else (with beautiful scarves), but secretly start admiring your own baldness, including running your hand over it several times a day, Bollywood bald villain style, it grows back into tiny baby hair curls.

And when the storm comes and you just give yourself up to being helplessly carried away, a superman scoops you above the storms, and the clouds below block the view of the carnage created by the storms and you become the soaring eagle, calm and unmindful of any ravages, as you are above it all.

And when you think you've done it all, and had it all, and you think your purpose in life is served, you are told there's more to life, you learn to love yourself and the passion for life is reignited. And when you least expect it, you discover more people care for you than you ever thought you deserved. And when you are in the depths of personal turmoil, events happen to shock you into realizing how wonderful people actually are. And when the torch light dims and you can't see clearly, you realize that replacing batteries makes the light shine brightly again. *winking smiley*
 
And then something makes you realize that even though you want to desperately thank all prayers, help, caring, love, effective advices, guidance that has been gratefully received, it cannot express the depths of your feelings.
