I once encountered a tiny blue shrimp, who anointed himself the “diamond king.”
His deep blue color reminded me of the stillness of the glacial waters of Canada, the deepness of a human mind, and the hues of churning oceans.
His petite frame & light persona were a concern, but as wise men state, ‘it’s not all about the looks, but the determination & blaze in your spirit.’
He bragged about his cousin, a gorgeous and popular lobster.
Arul’s tiny blue creature enjoyed all luxuries as the lucky charmer.

I marveled at his swimming skills amongst his lush surroundings.
Expertise in staying hidden from obstacles is a valuable life lesson.
Self-preservation is the essence of all life, whether actively participating in a fight or like our little shrimpy finding a good place to hide.
We may live an aggressive or non-confrontational life, but our fundamental instinct stands to be contented & thrive!

The journey to the unknown is terrifying. Often, no logical reasoning or emotional plea comes to the rescue.
Just putting one foot in front of the other is the practical option. Walking alone is nerve-wracking because you must trust yourself unconditionally to take the leap of faith.
No one will guide or catch you if you fall; the only lifeline is having faith in the supreme. The love to sustain oneself exists in the heart with the pain of loneliness as the roommate.

We are conditioned entities, coerced into believing in a spectacular performance of love like the enchanting Northern Lights, so wisdom demands that you pull the veil & notice the firestorms hidden beneath the lights.
Then, dance with the multicolor lights under the dark, deep sky; when the firestorms surround you, touch your heart and speak softly… “this too shall pass.”
