One thin glass door made all the difference for me at being perfectly normal and at ease to being hysterical and go wild.
I was sitting in my study room, not interested to read or think about anything. Just being blank, thinking about the perfect nothingness in life. Just then saw a small soft skinned awkward lizard on the other end of the glass door. Clearly displaying the color of its nerves, its body parts, its hands and legs, and tail laying motionless as though nearing death.
One sight of it made my mind go awry, wild and restless. I just couldn’t stand that little creature of vulgarity standing in front of me with its naked back as though laughing at me mockingly.
Not able to stand that anymore I did one thing that normally without that glass barrier I wouldn’t dare to do – even in my wildest of the wild dreams.
I went near the glass door touched and pressed the glass in the imitation of touching the naked lizard-its head, body, hands, toes, and tail.
I wondered about its body composition, its structure, transparent skin, and its creamy blood. I then hit the glass depicting my mean ways of scaring the poor thing away…at least out of my sight. It just jerked a bit moving its hands and legs one step ahead towards it’s nowhere destination, tail in its usual form, and its body giving a slight tilt- as though like a model giving a slight deviation in its pose for the photo shoot.
I did all that I can, in my own weary ways, but that hardly had any impact on the determined lizard. Still lay motionless- concentrating on whatever it did- sleeping, posing for photo shoot, praying as a saint, yoga, digesting its food, or just like me perfectly feeling blank thinking of its life. It passed on a great message-No matter how big your enemy is-stay with your powers-concentrate on your goals-you will succeed.
One lesson learnt. I gave up my futile trials to scare the lizard and settled down to do my work. Concentrate and Study.
