The roads untravelled..
As I travelled up the North, I decided that I wanted to break the shackles of technology and spend some quality time with nature.. However, as soon as the signals started to drop, cleithrophobia (the fear of being trapped) started to kick in..
I wanted to feel free and wander around without any restrictions or barriers and do whate ever I feel like doing and go where my heart takes me but what happened was, I was drawned in fears.. the fear of missing out and the fear of the unknown..and I felt as trapped as a caged bird.
Within the cage, I had a conversation with myself..
- Did I come here to worry about things which are not at all under my control? The answer was obviously a big NO! But, mind being an intelligent organ came up with another doubt.
- Things might not be in my control but I could have been there to correct the things when they go wrong.
The above question had the answer within itself. Who am I to correct the things which are not under my control? There are some things which are only under the control of God and all we can do is pray.
I prayed to Allah about the things that I was worrying about and placed all my trust in Him. As soon as I did this, I broke free from the cage..I felt that the weight that I had been carrying on my chest for a long time had started to lift and I finally began to experience the bounties that nature had in store for me..
There was not any WiFi there but I still connected. I connected with none but the ONE - the Master of this world and the next!
Travel Tip: Did you know that there are more chances of your prayers being accepted while you are travelling? So stop fretting, pray to the Almighty and start enjoying the melody that the flowing streams are playing for you!
