As I type this article, I see a gorgeous Sunset from my window. The evening is approaching languidly with the birds returning to their nests singing in gay abandon! The day is about to glide into the night and I am surprised how I have missed stealing these beautiful moments, witnessing this everyday miracle since past few months!
It has been really very long since I wrote on this blog. With my mother in law's deteriorating health, most of my time is consumed by hospital visits, looking after her and sporadic lurches amidst all the chaos created by the unpredictability life threatening diseases like cancer create. Being a compulsive writer, I have missed this blog sorely, made many attempts to write but invariably always been dragged to zillion things that need my time and energy ASAP. Believe me I have sulked many a nights silently in vain!
Yeah, it is difficult to love life sometimes. But it is amazing how some tragic events reveal insights from random experiences and enhance our perception about life and people in general, compelling us to visit realms of our mind not visited before.

Have you ever realized how important it is to take a step back and reconnect with your core when life becomes too chaotic to handle? Nursing patient of life threatening disease with serious psychiatric issues can sometimes create negativity that gets too far under your skin. You need to emotionally disconnect and create a healthy detachment from the inner circus, the never ending noise of demands, expectations and compulsions and truly strive for some quiet time alone and listen to your own body, mind and soul!
It is amazing what all silence can make you listen! We never truly comprehend but there is rhythm in silence and in solitude. It is only when we embrace solitude with discipline and discover ourselves layer by layer we understand there is much more to life than sum total of our experiences, relationships, aspirations, achievements, failures and all such things we get weighed down by.
And sometimes amidst all the chaos, a few sacred moments of solitude watching a glorious Sunset, like the one I am witnessing right now can be a perfect balm for the jaded soul! And in that beautiful pause, life suddenly appears worth loving all over again DESPITE everything!
