The Little White Bird
I never knew that there was a cage in my house and a little white bird was en-caged in it. I didn't know from where this cage or this bird came. It was like it was suddenly there and suddenly the cage was flung open and the beautiful little white bird was out ( something or someone had helped to open the cage, it seemed).
The escaped bird flew away as fast as it could from there, the prison place. From distant, there was a call coming, not audible to ears but her heart and soul could know it. The call was saying – “come ahead....don't stop anywhere…..” The freedom which was so difficultly obtained was tremendously enjoyable. She enjoyed the scenery; she played with clouds while flying and came to a place where lots of similar white birds were staying. They welcomed her and made her as their friend. She was overjoyed by their welcome and was very much happy in their company.
She stayed there for some time enjoying their good company and again the same call.....coming from the distant....”come ahead, don't stop there...it is not your destination….”.as if something was pulling her heart.
Her friends requested her to stay with them...but she told her friends....”Please let me go...I have to cover so far distance...I have to go, there is no other choice...it is my destiny…” They all requested, pleaded and showed lots of love and affection but she couldn't stay...she had to move ahead into unknown....leaving all comfort, love and companionship behind....nobody could tell what was her destination...but the pull was getting stronger...
Opening her small wings and flying faster than ever, she came to a place where other white birds were enjoying. There was someone very special and dear to her. She stayed there for a while again....and even though she was enjoying it...but oh that unbearable call coming again and again.....the pull could not to be denied....her friend tried to console and convince here that it was a very comfortable place and there was nothing to break her peace. Also she had a great friend and companion...but she couldn't stay...."Let me go, there is no other way....my destination is calling me." She pleaded and requested.
As if someone seeking and dying for salvation, she flew away as fast as she could. This time her flight was non-stop. So many ways, so many places she fled over, she couldn't see. There she came to a place where it was all ice white. There was no color, no sign of life as it was before....it was just as white as her own being. For moments she struggled to be herself, to be awake, to be as she was...but soon she was dropped into the mountains and valleys of ice...being the same essence...

Just a vision and it was so blurred...still I trembled over this vision...the strange events, the vivid scenes, the inhuman courage to go beyond all mysteries and lifelessness.....leaving behind all support, comfort and familiar places, people and scenes...what was this little bird telling me??

Note***** The above was derived from a dream. Viewed at the age of 18, it had very strange effect on my inner structure. It was like the world for me was burnt....and all surrounding seemed to be like deserted place.
Wise people say this world is a dream stuff, it has no reality. Then what to say about the dream within dream? It is illusion beyond illusion...., yet I am fool enough to follow these dreams beyond dreams.....
