A crossroad of life.

Life sometimes brings you at such crossroads, that leaves you stranded in confusion. Sometimes it is life,s incidents. Sometimes it is some relationships. If you get swirled and swayed by those, then you can be rest assured that your life goes for a toss. Give it some time and contemplate on it. Never take anyone for granted. Respect the individuality of a person. Understand a person........it only widens a relationship when you are rash in your thinking of an incident.....or the integrity of a person. Think for a while, why and what could be the reason, without jumping into conclusions and judging someone. Think for a while what the indifferent attitude could do to a relationship.

Here I would like to quote Kahlil Gibran...... “Let there be spaces in your togetherness, And let the winds of the heavens dance between you. Love one another but make not a bond of love: Let it rather be a moving sea between the shores of your souls. Fill each other's cup but drink not from one cup. Give one another of your bread but eat not from the same loaf. Sing and dance together and be joyous, but let each one of you be alone, Even as the strings of a lute are alone though they quiver with the same music. Give your hearts, but not into each other's keeping. For only the hand of Life can contain your hearts. And stand together, yet not too near together: For the pillars of the temple stand apart, And the oak tree and the cypress grow not in each other's shadow." 

It does not matter what or how much you give in a relationship. What matters is how you give, what you give and the understandings you have of the person. The freedom and space you give.....to breathe, feel free and the allowances you give for the growth of it. Let it be a foundation of love, warmth, care, affection, loving admonition , with the freedom and space to grow. Never a relationship of fear or a burden on the mind. Life sometimes brings you to such cross roads of confusion and thinking, just because of lack of understanding and indifference that is thrown at your face. When you realize your integrity is not respected, understood or rather appreciated.

Let is be a bond of give and take.. Let the spaces be such that you don't have a firm hold but a space of warmth, love and care which doesn't allow anyone else to creep in nor make it difficult to breathe. A bond that is a lovely possessiveness that doesn't make it difficult for either, and that which will always be looked forward to with wonder and warmth. A togetherness of love, warmth and care.
