She stood at the Crossroad, observing the chaos that lay around. Pondering as to which road to take and whether the road would choose her or would she get to choose the road. Looking back she sighed " It was an eventful journey"...and still the road to the past was open, beckoning and tempting her with the familiarity of the path...with no hurdles or ditch in sight..she could easily run back into it's strong arms. But something in her resisted this urge....she looked to her right...
Here the path seemed quite straight and predictable...she knew all the consequences of taking this path....she could even see the milestones she could achieve. But then, she wondered, "would it be worth it, if there was no one to share the joy of achievement?" "Would she regret taking it when the journey ends?"....of course she had been lucky to have fellow travellers up till now...but everyone deserted her to follow their own destined path after sometime ...."would she be lucky each time?"....she knew not...so she turned to look to her left...
Aha! what a sight to see....everything looked new, untraveled and as fresh as morning breeze. The path looked unpredictable and enticing. It had some similarity which made one comfortable, and yet a mystery which would unravel along the course...It stirred her soul, to draw it near..."Take this path" her heart whispered..."No !!" said the mind " U know not where it leads, what if it ends back to join the past?" "But it may lead up to the Future too" whispered the heart...."It's too risky to know !!" she decided...."I'll just watch it from the shore".....coz it's wonderful just to know.
She looked ahead determined....but could see nothing except a clouded sky. The fog made it difficult even to see the path ahead...she wondered " if the sun would ever shine to show her the way". She took a few tentative steps..but the haze clouded her judgement. All she could do was wait till her time arrives....let the path choose her...or wait for the Ray of hope to shine.
She sighed once again, " This isn't bad either", she said " Let the Chaos reign !!"

Could totally relate to being at crossroads .... Happens to me every now and then at irregular intervals.Guess that the most ideal thing would be to stay put for a while, let your life past and present unfold before you , let it sink in and both the heart and mind will then slowly guide you to your correct future and this time both will steer u on the same path ..... Keep at it Girl :)
