Contemplation

I was Sitting by the sea side at Kerala  - Kovalam beach...The sun was going over to the other side..and I guess so was I.

I watched at the horizon started turing a deep ink blue...and the dark...the waters...looking deep... and unfathomable.. Much like what was going on inside me.. so much was going on that it look dark and think almost...viscous.

I decided to stay with the discomfort.. The sea has often been my guide..when I could not really understand what was going on inside..it provided a great canvass.

In the reverie..I suddenly noticed something..

The rough waves that kept crashing on rocks that I was perched on ... were White.
Pure .. clear white..

Every time..The wave "Broke" ...it transformed from the dark viscous black ..to a frothing ..moving Clear.. Pure...White.

The Wave was in celebration....at breaking !!!

How amazing was that .... I thought.. and suddenly I didn't feel all this heavy and gloomy...

That was the lesson the sea taught me that day...
To break with panache..in all it glory...and to unleash the White.

I Woke up. got up. and walked away..

with the wave inside me.

This lesson and moment was so profound..That I wanted to capture and treasure it. As so
on as I came back Iw had thins inexplicable urge to paint it. (Although I have never painted)

and this was it.
