A DOt
December 9, 2008
An innocent young boy was asked to look at a piece of black board. He sees nothing but hundreds of small dots all over it. He wondered what his master is up to. The boy was certain it’s a mystery to decode, but as to what specific nature that he doesn’t know! He is then puzzled what is on the board…and on the dots…
Everyone aims for the best, life can offer. When one wants it he plans it. He strategically lay down his different options of paths to take. He anticipates all that could possibly happen. All his heart sees are good which gives him hope. Hope that develops his faith. Faith hardens his physique to start his primary pace. When he starts his walk through it, he realizes it isn’t a straight path but a long winding trail he’s taking. It is a path of uncertainties. It is a path full of small steps to take. He isn’t allowed to take a long leap to advance but to step on them one by one. The option he has is to move quickly, slowly or not to further at all. Some of the steps weaken him. Others are steps of persuasion and only few are bits of success. His thirst for the latter tempts him to stay. Fear started to grow within him. Fear of failing and never had a chance of embracing it again. He settled for these bits of success, and begins to doubt what his heart ones desired. He doubts what he is still capable of achieving. He becomes contented. And soon he’s ultimate goal will be part of history once aimed.
Nobody is certain what lies ahead. It may be scary or a promising future that awaits him. Like dots he chooses one among others. Others can hardly see the one he chooses but an eye hooked and focused never loses his vision on it. He was not sure what his dot offers him in the end. But it gives him direction. In his journey he takes a detour like line connecting one dot from the other. It was not planned. He took it for ease and comfort. He then goes on circles never a single step ahead. He was wasted. He screwed up. He feared moving on. He loses his sight of the dot he owned. And never regain clear vision of the road he is taking. Then he started to shout he was lost!!!by: Chester Lelis
