It was a very quick trip planned...in a matter of days..
we took a chance with everything..what the big deal isn't that what it is anyways...
We started from our home on Friday...with big loads of luggage of warmth and expectations..and music to keep us company along with beating hearts that wanted to see if nature brings out what mundane life does not..
When we reached there it was dark the driveway pretty rough to drive up...so we climbed up not knowing where the cabin would be how far was the journey; destination is immaterial... when you have people who mean a lot ..
the first glimpse at the cottage was wonderful experience..a star lit sky below it a cottage just like fairy tales..wooden with chimneys and little light marking it in the dark..What can I say I relived my storybooks again and again..
The most amazing part of it was lighting up the wood stove heater..the best surprises in life comes unexpected and in small bundles..and the most fascinating warmth of travel is figuring out things from scratch in a place very rustically wonderful..so we did..and then we led our way hand in hand to welcome other people who could immerse in the bliss for the coming days...
that day was different..a campfire outside below the starry night and dinner by it with songs and conversations ..hearts flying out in unbound territories and feelings and emotions were without any charades..
we kept up almost the whole night..not unusual for people wanting to enjoy every bit of the waking moment...
The next day was relaxing and breathtaking a small hike beside a little lake..and a walk in the beach..No wonder I remembered one of my favorite lines from a card I got years ago..."footprints in the sand" and I felt so free and adventurous..
we came back to see the Profile falls..a hike up the rocky sides was bit too more than wonderful..but we all made it best was Swastik who even climbed higher..seeing him I felt we must always dare to do more than we think we can to see what others have not seen and to feel what is way above reaching and people who do that are the ones who live life in the brink and what is life if not lived every moment..?
That was Diwali..that night..we made an awesome dinner everyone did their wonderful share and the youngest in the group made the best...and we all dressed up and got ready..and had a most wonderful time ..the canopy above the fire pit was wonderful..
that night went past with few shades of blue and gray...and it was time to return..back to where we think we belong..but as travelers in life do we belong anywhere ,you just need a soul with you that yearns to meet new boundaries and a friend who will walk and share the dreams and so will you..its all in the journey..hearts we meet love we share and people who touch us trying to make us into better human beings...
I learnt a lot during these three days to share to love and to give,,,life with its pressing demands was making me forget what it is to prioritize others life before my own..someone somewhere taught me...its never too late to start being a child again..
