Waiting.

There was an impending storm ,and the heated earth waited for the rain to come.Have you ever seen how the rain clouds build up?.I was watching it yesterday .The sky turned grey and the lights around had a strange old gold look. Then suddenly the rain drops started falling.It was not heavy ,this rain yesterday,as when it rained in torrents last time.I watch it from all the available view ,by looking from my room window and from the street and from the backayard.

The rain has this effect on the next day in my city.Next day you see all the roads washed clean and the trees green and fresh.The park garden where I walk with my friend will look stunning with coolness all around.I think in a way this possibility in nature that it can rejuvanate itself, with only a little rain teaches us something.All the heat of this summer had scorched this earth, and with a litle rain for which it waited, it healed itself and emerged fresh and invigorated.

So wait for that little rain will you my mind ?that is scorched with the innumerable words chattering its way up and out as my feelings!You do not know what gift you will get, if only you know how to wait.A call will come that will surely end this journey ,and you might be at the destination wherein all the waiting was rewarded.

And then another journey begins.

Jayamala.
