In search of a familiar face……

Ever walked on a busy street and felt lonely. You perhaps wondered what had brought to where you were. The period of your life could be confusing, perhaps making your heart feel weak that once again you had failed to realize the dream you had dared to dream. People swam past you, you are a figure unrecognizable, perhaps your friends are unreachable and you are alone in the middle of the side walk.

Every face is fast moving and all are strange around you. With every eye contact you feel the suspicion from the beholder. You want to break free from this cocoon and show the world the beautiful colors inside of you. The rainbow that should be glowing in your heart but wait, the rainbow comes only after the rain. At this moment its still raining in your heart and soul and you can’t stop the rain from falling…

Hmmm..perhaps its time to embrace change that you never anticipated; perhaps it’s the loss of something you held on dear to or it could be lack of solution to a nagging problem. You are lost in the crowd and you feel small. Feels like everyone is trampling over you and laughing on as though it didn’t matter…amazing how life can take us up and bring us down over time….

But hey, are you alone? No, no one is ever alone in this vast universe. You may call it an angel, karma or something you believe in but they are always with you. Set your eyes across the busy crowd and search for a familiar face. This face is always there, waiting for you to find it. It may be on the cover of a magazine, or perhaps on a billboard, or even the person walking past you. This face will always signify some kind of fresh hope, optimism that “I have been there too but I made it and now I can smile”….its a subtle feeling when you find this face and it can make you smile again…

From the simple grin to a warm handshake, this familiar face could be your connection to the bright side again. This face may awaken the rainbow that is inside you heart. Search for it. From the smile and laugh of a child to the tears of a grown man, lies a face that knows you…knows you by heart..search for it…..
