Friday, 3rd December 2010, around 8 pm in the night
I slump my bags on the concrete sidewalk on the sea shore. I face the sea and sit down. To my left is the sea merging into the vast darkness of the night sky and to my right is the glimmer of the city lights held by the curvy line of the sea shore. I feel like I am attending a concert. I try hard to ignore the vrooomm of the vehicles and chatter behind me. As I do that the humming of the sea becomes louder. Its the same note, it plays again and again and again till it seems like a chant..... The chant of the universe. ...I sit there in awe for about an hour, listening and absorbing the rhythm. Then I move, back to where I am condemned to be.......
Behind me, the sea plays its usually rhythm. The waves think 'No matter how much I try, I cannot hold on to the shore..how strong it must feel'. The sand thinks 'no matter what, the waves always govern where we move...how empowered are they!'. The shore thinks 'Is this it? will the waves lash me forever till I vanish?'....
I shall be back again the next day to listen to this rhythm and feel empowered..
