Letting it Out

As I get older, I find myself getting more expressive. From observation, I have noticed the same for others as well. As a discrete person, I have bottled up more than I had let out. Now, I'm learning to open up through my writing or by sharing my thoughts with my close friends.

I have also suggested to those who confide in me to write it down. Writing down our feelings, the events in our lives and our dreams, help to remove the burden in heart and the clutter from the mind. We are able to reflect, see our problems from a different perspective and overcome them. A clearer mind allows us to get closer to our goals.

This, however, is a lesson that I had learnt from a 4 year old.

My student, nine years of age, shares her room with her four-year old sister. Once, when I went over for tuition, I noticed a tiny handwriting on the board,"I am angry."

Amused by the solitary statement, I asked my student the reason behind those words. She explained innocently that her sister had written it because she was angry with her teacher.

The more I stared at the statement, the more I adored the ingenuousness of the little child to have let out her emotions. We have so much to learn from the little ones.


"When you assume responsibility for what you experienceand share what you experience in a spirit of companionship, that is the same as forgiveness. When you hold someone responsible for what you experience, you lose power." - Gary Zukav from "Seat Of The Soul".
