"Quickly, flip to page number 24 .. there... can you see a drawing... Ahaa, that's the one I love most.. it is indeed made by my best reader.. Yes, your dear sweet, angel Vanshika" said the Old Book, sitting on my desk.
"Pheww.. what a weird dream it was.. it seemed so real.." I woke up massaging my head softly...
" Wait... but how come the book which I took out yesterday from the attick spoke to me" I was quite surprised..
" Not only it spoke to me but it also told me about a drawing made by my dearest grand mother Vanshika.. Yes.... that's her name." Saying so I immediately got up from bed and went to my desk to validate my dream.
"Yes , indeed the book, I saw in my dream was this one only."
I flipped to page number 24 And ....There... Was the most beautiful Motif sketched in hand ... 'Could this really, be the, work of my grandmother' I was wondering .. 'wait a moment... I can see something written in pencil..'
There was a faint script written in hand .. with time it has almost submerged in the brittle yellowed page.. like a forgotten abandoned dream .... Waiting...........!!!
I took out my reading glasses to read it .. the moment the words came to make sense .. my tensed mouth relaxed and soothed my brain.. I suddenly felt as if I had found the treasure of my Life.. when the entire world is falling apart and everywhere is hatred and fire and jealousy and anger... Those words came to me as a soothing petrichor...
On it,.... My GrandMother left words of wisdom for Me.. for the Mankind.. which are to be Understood not simply read......
It was written
"Life is not an exam or a lesson to be learnt...
It is to be Lived with Gratitude and Forgiveness..."
My tears started streaming down and felt, as if, this message was meant for ME in this difficult times of Pandemic. May peace fall on all of us.. May we learn and understand the power of
**********GRATITUDE***********
*********FORGIVENESS**********
***********🙏🙏🙏*************
Live Every moment as if it's the last.. Live it completely while walking on the path of 'dharma' to attain 'Salvation'.
What a beautiful story with a lovely message. It is not always easy to be grateful for what we have or to forgive others for the hurt they cause us, but when we do it can revitalise us. Hope you have a great week.
