The Uninvited Guest

Today doesn’t seem like other days. There is a gush of strong, cold wind gently striking my face as it makes my flowy dress sway and messes with my messy hair. I’m enjoying this wind flowing from right to left. After every surge, there’s a pause, as if I have to cherish the one that just passed me by.I’m falling in love with this gentle gesture of nature—a cooling breath to an anxious soul.Despite the noise around me—this being a railway station with its constant announcements in English, Hindi, and Telugu, and the varied emotions of the people surrounding me, some happy, some clueless, some angry, some irritated—I’m sitting in a blend of emotions. Yet, the only feeling sweeping over me now is that of peace and calm. Regardless of what’s happening around me, the gush of wind has captured my attention, and all I can do is enjoy its mighty presence. I’m waiting for my train to take me home. For now, I’m simply enjoying the wind, the uninvited guest who is sweeping me off my feet.

“But seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well.” Matthew 6:33
