The one cake you should eat

The weather’s really cool. The streets are deserted. And you are on your way to nowhere. There’s only one thing in the world that knows where you are. It’s the white thing up there. It has always been there, but it’s only now that it feels that it’s there for you. It will light up any place you go. It will be right there. It’s telling you there’s nothing to think about. Just do whatever comes to your mind. Actually, don’t go to the mind, go to your heart. Do whatever you want to. No consequences. No future to think of. No past to remember. No present to care about. Just float on the plane of carelessness.

No sun to disturb the loneliness. No rules to follow. No paths to guide you. No time to return home at. No need to think about sleeping. No alarm to set. No problems to think about. No need to worry about which world you are in. No need to act 24. No need to think about anything at all. The mind is just a spectator watching the dreams in the heart come alive. For once, the castles are in the heart, not in the mind, not in the air.

All the things you wanted to do. All the freedom you ever wanted. All the strings you ever wanted to cut. All the things money can’t buy. All the happiness you ever wanted. All the love you ever wanted to experience. All the peace you ever wanted to take in. All the things around you, you didn’t want. All the space in the world you ever wanted. The never-ending horizon you wanted to look at.

Life’s isn’t about a million things. It’s about one thing. And it’s that one thing which changes everything else. It’s that one thing which I want to live for. It’s that time when your mind stops, and your heart takes over, as if they knew it was coming. It’s the time you have been born in this world to experience. It can be a clear night with just the moon and you. It can be the most crowded place, but everything else is silent when you look at her. It can be the time when you go back to your home for the first time after staying in the US. It can be the moment you reach the beach or a mountain, and you are at the edge of the flat world. It’s that moment which makes you feel lucky that you understand the beauty of it. At that moment, everything else that you have learnt pales in comparison. The most important thing you need to learn is already in you.

All of us have the ingredients for the cake. All of us bake the cake. Most are worried about the icing and the strawberries. It’s only a few of us who actually know how to eat the cake.
