Am I Too Late? By Farheen S.
Sitting closer to the window near to my plants, observing the quietness of life, the loneliness of soul, I was asking myself one question again and again, am I late? Am I late to recover myself, am I late to make myself valuable for this nature, am I late to value every single living and non-living thing equally, am I late to thank God that He has provided me countlessly.
Today I am writing because I am close to my answers. I am not late. You can never be late. This virus is just a warning for us before our final destinations. It has come to give us a deadly warning because we have ignored all previous warnings that were not affecting our lives personally.
Try to observe the chaos in the World. Death is not something new, it is coming to everyone who is black or white, who is from a developed or developing country, who is rich or poor, who is Muslim, Christian, Hindu or else and that is also not new. The new thing is that it is coming all together at the same time. People were oppressed before too if you see the examples of Syria, Myanmar, and Kashmir that was okay for us because I was not in that place, You were also not in that place.
Here am I rolling the pencil in my hair again and again,
Starts to watch Netflix, observing myself in Netflix background,
Thinking about things that I can regain What I can do to make this earth stable again
An idea in my mind comes to maintain Why not spend time on me to sustain
That's how we all will make an interchain By giving the nature some time to constraint
It is time to explore yourself instead of exploring the world. It is time to explore the hidden corners of your mind and soul. I know, I would never have done that if I would be on my vacation days. Because this vacation/work from home time was not planned by us. It was planned by nature and that can not be controlled by superpowers too. Sit in the corner of your room, take a cup of coffee or tea, take a pencil and paper, Start to write what you want to do but you think you can't do. Use this time to take the first step, just the first step. Believe me, the next one will come naturally.

ReplyDeleteI see myself on the background of my phone while reading this..
ReplyDeleteBtw am I too late to comment?
You are so right. You can NEVER be late. There's always time to change.
ReplyDeleteSuch a beautiful post...I love your thoughts. Since we are all home right now it is a great time to get in touch with ourselves and refocus on the important things in life. Now is the perfect time to self-discover. Thanks for sharing your beautiful words with us.
ReplyDeleteI don’t think it’s never too late to reflect on something. Better late than never right?
ReplyDeleteIt's a great time to slow down certainly.

ReplyDeleteI think we are never too late to rethink our path. Great article!
ReplyDeleteSo true, I think all this time is a great time to refresh and reflect. Everyone gets so caught up in their day to day lives and life literally passes us by.
ReplyDeleteIt is never too late, every moment is a new opportunity. Interesting perspective on looking towards the inners of oneself during these times.
ReplyDeleteIt's never too late to make changes to your life. I think now is a great time to recognize everything we've been doing wrong.
ReplyDeleteThat's such a beautiful post. It is never too late to make changes. There is also this saying - Better late than never.
ReplyDeleteThe coronavirus is nature's way of telling us to slow dow and reorder our priorities. Imagine all the planes stopped flying and our air got cleaned of pollution. Key is balance. We have to take care of our planet. It is not too late to do things right.
ReplyDeleteI love the idea of trying to make the world stable again.
ReplyDeleteIt's truly time explore ourselves. I'm relating this to our situation now. We're being reminded to stop and breathe
ReplyDeleteIt is never too late. In India, we have a saying "Jab jaago tab savera", synonymical to "its never too late to start something new".
ReplyDeleteThis is definitely a time for self discovery for many of us. I loved reading your post, what a great perspective. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteI like that you said this is a vacation planned by nature not by you. Do you know even on vacation people are not relaxing they are in a rush to do things on their vacation, so this is the much needed break we needed but I pray for healing days for the world.
ReplyDeleteYou’re never too late to change things for the better. Beautifully written! Thanks for sharing
