My friend Joycee texted me the other day telling me about her experiences at her hometown in Churachandpur. She is volunteering in a blind school and in the end of her text she mentioned something like, i dont know this feeling but when i am with these kids, i feel something special. It really struck my heart and i had an overwhelming feel-good moment.I am really happy for her and at the same time it really kept me thinking. And then just a few days back, my faithful friend Jesekolie called up and somehow i could understand from his voice that he was excited. We started conversing with the usual how are yous and then in the middle of the conversations he mentions that he is teaching Drawing/sketching to some of the young classes in the school where he teaches computer skills. He said, he really saw some of the kids who had the potential to become really good painters and that he wanted to help them to develop their skills. Just from the tone of his voice, i could know that he was passionate and serious about it. I think he felt good about it even though he has still not decided where he will finally land up career wise. And btw, he is a really good sketch artist and painter too which he always denies and he has a heart for Art which makes him happy and excited i say. Here is the point, what both Joycee and Jesekolie mentioned is what i call 'Something Beautiful'.
There is a song by NeedToBreathe called "Something Beautiful". I still find it funny that this song caught my attention while i was watching Cougar Town because i keep on wondering how the song caught the attention of a sitcom like Cougar Town 'coz the song is very Christianish. Anyhow, the lyrics of the song are very meaningful. It talks about a person wishing for something beautiful to happen in her life. Its about not letting go of hope until that 'Something Beautiful' happens, letting go of yourself and letting God handle it. It talks of holding on to God in scary situations and exciting moments and waiting on Him for something beautiful to happen. For me this song relates a lot to my life right now and my life so far. I am not where i used to be, and there were times when i was scared of taking risks or opportunities but now i see that those were just childish fears.There were things i couldn't understand and somehow things are making sense though i cannot understand wholly. And yet,I am still waiting for that 'Something Beautiful' to happen. And thankfully its not "love" this time...Its about finding what i am meant to be. Something that i would really have a heart for, something that will keep me alive and excited and sleepless at night, something that would make me want to wake up early in the morning and sleep late at night, a passion that is stronger than the 'falling head over heels' for a guy, something that would make me want to cry and laugh at the same time....Something Beautiful...
Eight months of my break have already passed just like that...At times i felt like, i wasted a lot of my time in 'nothing', other times i was like,'oh, i have really come this far'. And right now, i feel like i should have done much better. But maybe, whether i have learned and achieved many or few, its all a part of making and waiting for Something Beautiful.
"In your oceans i'm ankle deep
I feel the waves crushing on my feet
Its like i know where i need to be
But i can't figure out, no i can't figure out....
Hey now, this is my desire
Consume me like a fire
'cause i just want something beautiful to touch me..
In a daydream, i cant live like this
I wont stop until i find
Something Beautiful"
