Who took my mask?

 

There are times when for no good reason we put serious thoughts even in small things...when  even li'l things that we see or hear seems to be teaching something. Well,. I was watching this beautiful ballroom dance clip when I realized I could relate it to an important real life stance!

 

A ballroom dance, where with the mask on, you get along with many people. With some of them, the chemistry seems to sizzle, with some it is thorough fun...with some just a li'l cha-cha-cha, while one or two may hit your toe or give a knee jerk and vanish....but somewhere in the midst of it, it happens that somebody just comes in...you get to dance together a bit (like you did with others) but then something reflexively demands you to put off the mask away!!

 

Well, just in case, you are thinking that I am trying to describe what happens in almost any romantic ballroom dance clip (as if u do not know)...I am not.

 

The stance I could relate it to was zeroing upon the one you can spend your life with.

 

I somehow wonder upon how people actually do that? I mean, it of course is not easy. Do not the terms like "love of my life" or "special someone" or alike seem too heavy to have someone be chosen for it?

 

I mean, what if it could have been really simple....like light, carefree...

 

Something which makes you feel like you are together becoz you are holding hands and NOT becoz you are tied with unseen ropes of love, commitment or courtship.

Imagine the two situations - one you're walking while holding hands of your mate and the other you're walking while you're tied around together with a beautiful bow-knot.

A simple logic answers - walking by holding hands will not lead to any asynchrony among the two and also would help face an obstacle cohesively.......while if you walk being tied, you would actually have to make an effort first to synchronize and after that face the obstacle. Half the battle thus becomes to synchronize yourself with the person.

 

It actually doesn't last for long because then with bigger & sudden hassles coming in, you reflexively tend to come apart and eventually find that the knot is no more!

 

Coming to the mate in the former case, its somebody who's been holding hands not to congratulate on reaching heights but to support when you were falling while reaching it.

One who's not aware of what you are today but of how have you made it this far.

One who's eligible to know your biggest blunders and guilt's without hesitance.

Let come the hugest of the huge craps and you know that he/she can be told and somehow only their knowing about it takes you through.......without even letting you know how tough & big it was!

One who knows you IN and OUT with your unsaid approval and allowance.

 

The ONE before whom, you FIND IT IS WORTH PUTTING YOUR MASK OFF!! :)
