Tempest

Saturday, 5 May 2007

Sometimes in spite of knowing what the right decision is it becomes very difficult to adhere to what the mind knows. You wander aimlessly, wanderously, listfully hoping your logic and gut instinct would be wrong knowing all the while that they are right but yet resisting because untill your heart is ready to believe what your mind already knows the two power centres of your body do not allow the proper prosecution and implementation of that right decision.

It takes just a small stroke of a sword, a tiny knock of a hammer or simply the right mix of words to make that sudden gear shift a block into place in your heart for it to listen to the mind. A little disrespect, a little disregard is all it takes for that gear to shift. It is extremely unnerving because instead of mountains and thunderstorms the indication is from perhaps the smallest and most insignificant of insults or injuries. But it is like a missing piece of a jigsaw puzzle that suddely fell into place and set the gear rolling.

The implementation of that right decision then does not necessarily become easy. Infact it becomes much harder but then the only catalyst that ensures success is the will. The will once conviced does not take defeat. It does not understand defeat. It becomes almost robotic immune to both logic and emotion. It is like a programmed defence mechanism instilled in the body to take over when most required. And nothing can change or move it from its path. The heart hurts, the mind throbs and hammers but the will ensures ultimate triumph.

It is time to beat the odds once more. Bring on the pain.
