Clearing the vision

For reasons most of you probably don't know, i went swimming after running today. Granted, i like to swim (the feeling of being submerged in water is great), it was a time for reflection. As I was swimming, i realised some really important things that can be parallel to life and its goals.

If you've swam before, you'll probably realise that after a lap or two, your goggles start to fog up and you cant see the area around you clearly. But as you're in the middle of the swimming pool, and the place where i go swimming has its deepest end not at any end but in the middle, you can't very well stop and clear it. At that point in time, you can see the end of the pool, the place where you're supposed to swim towards because that's where the people are concentrated, but the path there is murky, and there are people in the middle swimming sideways, forward, backward, blocking your way. Its the same as life isn't it? We know clearly where we want to go, but the way towards the final goal is murky and unclear, with numerous obstacles. Ultimately, like how i got to the end of the pool without much difficulty, whatever happens, the end point will be reached.

Also, every few laps, washing your goggles clears your vision. So i guess the same way, taking a rain check on things happening to you once in awhile can keep you on track. Stocktaking clears the vision. Thinking about why you feel the way you do, about the things that happen.

Today's Sunday night and i guess the feeling of dread is lesser than it was the previous weeks.

I think I'm going to stop trying. Slowly let them go.
