The Sea

It was one of those days, when we feel that we can’t hold on, bad things are just happening, sadness is staying in our hearts, holding pain in its hands, and we are standing helpless, we have many things to do too, trying to get any thing done. But all we get is failure which is running to join our sadness, turning off the lights of our hearts.

It was the weekend, the end of a very long week I felt, I was waiting for this day, I needed a vacation but two or three days weren’t enough for me. I felt like I needed a break to reorganize my thoughts, fix the broken things, get rid of the unwanted ones and try to find a way to keep the good ones.

I knew where I needed to go, but haven’t time to go any where, it’s one of my favorite places, visiting my best friend; it’s the sea, the lovely, wide blue sea.
I convinced an old and close friend of mine to come with me; we used to go there few years ago, it's there where we had very beautiful memories.

We decided to walk till we arrived there, we sat down, and both of us knew that silence was needed for a while, I felt I wanted to stay there forever, the sea was just in front of us extended to the left and to the right, all what we had to do was not to look behind, so as not to spoil the scene. may be that’s what we have to do with our lives too and what I needed to understand; “not to look behind”…

Don’t know what a magic touch it has, like it absorbs the sadness from our hearts and clears our minds with its fresh cold air.
I think it contacts my heart and mind with its wonderful view, telling me: every thing will be ok, Allah will never leave you alone, hold on, you can do it, just go back to your life, fix your problems, and if you got hurt, come back to me, I’ll always be here, and thank Allah for enabling you to come here.
I think I’ll always thank Allah for creating this wonderful sea.

Time passed quickly, it was getting late and cold, we had to go home or we were going to face troubles. We walked the way home; it was a long but a nice one. I think I woke up the following day, ready to face things, fix the misunderstandings, get rid of the sorry thoughts, just decided to face life the way it is.

So no matter how disappointed or depressed you are, you have to find your way out of your sadness, create your own ways, never stop till you feel you are really happy, and that’s how Allah will help you.

Finally, I would like to tell you about some nice links you may use if you aren’t feeling ok:
