Bright and Light
“Let there be light!”
“Switch it on yourself!”
“Huh! Oh Ha ha ha! Don’t be daft Darling, Gods don’t do such stuff….”
“So, who does? their better halves ?”
As they continued to exchange their banter, Varsha heaved a sigh and turned on her side, to snuggle cosily against Vishal’s chest. “Its been a tiring day you know, although I am up to my gills with these workshops on visualization and manifestation!”
“So what have you been visualizing….?”
“That I may be lighter… be able to fly….
That I may have a scintillating personality, glowing and bright!”
“Touché! Babe you are that!”
“I had a tough day too! I had to listen to so many complaints and not lose my patience! Some of the new joinees have yet to understand the norms of our company and implement it in body, mind and spirit! Well tomorrow is a new day…. Let’s see how it turns out,” he said as he reached out to switch on the bedside light.
The calming sound of the waves kissing the beach in the silvery moonlight, surveying the swaying palms and couples walking arm in arm was the perfect setting for a good night’s sound, rejuvenating sleep. Next morning as Varsha prepared for work, to sit down with her laptop in the living room, Vishal prepared to drive down to his office. They were going to the office on alternate days physically. He wasn’t sure what was more tiring, working from home, or driving down to the office (in barely 20 minutes these days) and spending 9- 10 hours there.
The visualization workshop was the brainchild of her boss. She was looking forward to a written feedback today at the conclusion, expecting her department to wax eloquent , having dropped plenty of hints to that effect already. Reflecting back on her midnight’s conversation she wondered if it was possible to just visualize and get what one wanted! The Trainer droned on in her sonorous voice, gently lulling her to dreamland!
OK I visualize myself lighter. I visualize myself with a bright and glowing Personality. Somewhere she could see herself watching the Santoor ad and before she realized it she was rolling with laughter. She quickly reached out to turn off her video on the zoom meeting and gave in to the delightful luxury of laughing till the tears rolled down her cheeks.
As she turned her video on, the vibrating mobile alerted her to a call from her highness… Her Boss! “ What’s wrong Varsha? Why were you laughing like that? And why did you switch off the camera? You know our policy for the workshops and zoom meetings. Is Vishal at home? You can’t be romancing on office time!”
“ Sorry Sheena! I was visualizing myself lighter and in an ad! Will keep my visualization more official,” and she started laughing again, as she ended the call.
It finally ended and every participant had some nice experience to share, making it worth their while to have focused on visualization and manifestation. The evening skies were blood shot as the tired Sun bid the day goodbye, getting ready to tuck in for the night. The birds took their cue chirping merrily turning to roost, updating their families on what transpired through the day. Night crept on surreptitiously as Varsha wound up her laptop and moved to brew herself a steaming hot cuppa.
As she sat down in her balcony overlooking the sea, she recalled her visualization and started smiling again! Lighter, Glowing, Bright! She looked at herself in amazement…she had light wings, her body glowed, shining light gently oozing out of her. She was the most beautiful glowworm the world had ever seen!
