I can’t sleep tonight. Maybe it was due to the coffee I had when I went out to talk to a mate. I’m lying on the bed for nearly 2 hours yet I can’t get to sleep. Normally I sleep well but what’s happening today?
I switch on the PC and surf to the home page of The Australian. There is this report about a top sales girl committed suicide due to speculations that the company she worked for has set unrealistically high targets for her despite her brilliant performance. This story has become something of a hot topic here because the company is a well-known service provider. Every job in the world has stress, right? Why did she have to do that because life is really special and God-given gift. It could be due to depression I guess.
Make a stroll to the small garden, sit there and enjoy the scent my flowers is emanating…. The weather is cold now and I can feel the shiver. I guess I can sleep well now.
Last night I sat in the arm chair at the backyard of mine enjoying the scent of the growing flowers and clear starry night. Last few days the weather had been overcast and it was exhilarating to see a night of clear sky. The breeze was delightful and the temperature was about 20 degrees. I had an overall on me with a windbreaker and it was really a beautiful time. I was here alone because I couldn’t get to sleep therefore I sat here having a self reflecting time.
It was about 20 minutes after midnight and the surrounding was very quiet. I sat in my armchair, looked at the sky and thought about the days past and my plans for the future. I asked for some intuition to come to me so that wisdom would occupy my mind if there were any major decisions to make. I thought about Marie Callas and I hope she’d already received my letter of testimony I wrote to her recently for the general fortune of my life taking an upturn since I know her.
Suddenly I thought I saw a faint trail of a shooting star appearing near the Southern Cross constellation and disappeared near an unknown star nearby. It was not spectacular but it was a talismanic sign to me that my wish would realise soon. Thanks Marie Callas. It had been a while since I last saw a shooting star arcing across and this was a really warm feeling. I can only ingrain its image in my mind though.
