Connecting with the sea at Alleppey brought out many interesting learnings. The pre-monsoon sea looked dark, threatening and uninviting. My husband explained that at this time of the year, the ocean currents bring out the dark sand from deep under, as the ocean activity increases there.....We also saw kids throwing all kind of stuff (empty plastic bottles, slippers etc) at the sea and the waves bringing all that back to the beach. It reminded me of people (especially in the movies) throwing dead bodies in various water-bodies, which are invariably thrown up by nature.......and I realized the same happening with us, humans as well.
When deep-churning happens inside us, we too bring out all the dark stuff from deep inside (including long buried dead-bodies). Nothing can remain buried anymore. During that phase we too look 'dark', threatening and uninviting. People close to us wonder why we need to rake up all the buried stuff; but we can't help doing that. Just as the sea can't help bringing up the dark sand. It is a natural phenomenon. When it happens with the sea we know that the monsoons are round the corner. When it happens with us, we know that the tears can't be contained anymore....
This is all a process of cleansing.....and we better enjoy it! The nature teaches us that once the monsoon is over, the sea will settle down, and look clean, beautiful and inviting.....Similarly, we become more accepting/ loving after deep cleansing. That is a given! All we need is patience!
What the world throws at us, cannot remain inside us; it is always thrown back by the strong waves of e-motion.....the energy in motion...The waves too are that; the energy in motion...How interesting!!
