Have you ever fought with the waves?. I have! And you know what, it’s the strangest feeling I have ever had. It’s a great feeling to be sprawled face up on a beach looking at the bright sun with the water just reaching your hair making you glisten like a jewel. Just imagine the calm that you feel, its almost surreal and it felt to me that I can lock this moment forever. I still think about it whenever I need the same calm to descend upon me. But that day, alas, the ocean had a mind of its own. The waves just kept growing stronger and made me move on the beach like I was a soft toy. I tried to move up so that I am untroubled by the waves and can lie peacefully but to no avail. They just kept following me wherever I moved.
This is when I decided that I will fight the Ocean. Call me foolish or just plain stupid, I ran into the waves and tried to fight the rising waters by trying to push out of them in to the open sea. The thing is, I knew it was childish of me to do that at that moment but then it was fun! We all know how funny I would have looked running into the water with an angry look and jumping on the waves after that and today I can laugh about it but that day it just felt so good to have fought the nature at my own terms. I know I lost (Am I kidding :-)!!) but I know that I did what I wanted to do and then I failed….i failed while I was laughing madly and yet at the same time, very much at peace with myself.
