Journey of life


All of us are walking on the road that leads us to our final destination. This is the path that everyone takes in their life and which no one can shun. All get pushed on to this road and walk they have to. Experiences that we gather get tagged as luggage on to us. Some are good whereas some are bad and others best to be forgotten.

These experiences and memories cannot be discarded as each event and action gets etched, some on your body and others most in memory. We get our family members to walk with us in this journey of life where some leave us soon and others stick on till the very end.

Friends come in from different directions as they meet us in their journeys. Some give you company  and lighten the travails of the travel. There are others who confront you with negative motives and who are best to be avoided but not everyone can, as some are forced upon you that leaves you weak and tired to continue the arduous path ahead. The journey is long for some who grumble about it and short for others who enjoy the travel.

The sun, the wind and other elements play their parts when they cross your paths daily as you walk ahead not knowing what is in store for you, a journey where the destination marks the culmination of a life well spent or best forgotten…

      1. Yes, absolutely – I tried to find where you were and could barely see the teeny red dot…yet here we are exchanging heartfelt stories.

  1. “a journey where the destination marks the culmination of a life well spent or best forgotten…” You have beautifully summed it up 🙂

  2. A beautiful sentiment of life, but realistic in that it touches on the not so great (but very real) parts of it.

    “The journey is long for some who grumble about it and short for others who enjoy the travel.” I really liked this comment!

  3. Sunith I am replying again because i am so moved by this post – at this particular time I have a friend who has bone cancer and death is close in my mind – as you say we all travel the same path – such beautiful writing.
