Shadows in the sun !!!

Today i happened across this movie playing on Star Movies - "Shadows in the sun". As it was starting , i thought id spend some time watching it. It was a story of a legendary writer who stopped writing abruptly and was trying hard to come to terms with the death of his wife. A simple portrayal and elegant cast puts the story at ease. It lacked dramatics and was better for it.There is this character of a priest who tries to help an editor whose visiting the writer with hopes of getting a contract signed. He explains that in life we all are birds soaring high with cares thrown at the wind. When we do hurt our wings we crash down so hard that we fear to fly again.He says it takes a strong wind to lift us high once to help us realize ourselves. Truly an analogy beyond all the complexities of life isnt it? bt think again , our work, commitments and dreams are the wings which we believe keeps us flying. Once they are broken , we fear to rise again . We fear to fly high as we have been instilled with the fear of hurting ourselves. Dont we all fail to notice that our dreams , work , pride , money or hard work do not matter even a fraction of the urge to fly. We do fly because we want to not because we have wings !!!! You have hurt your wing? Good !!! Cause u shall find another injured wing and you shall realize the higher pleasures of flying together. To hell with the saying that God helps those who help themselves. Its just that God helps those who helps others. How ignorant we humans are to think we make the shadows when the sun actually does?? We are not here to do what we want, we are here to do something god wanted to do for someone else!!! Life is a fresh page and we are intended to write it only once, How beautiful shall it be if we just use the lines that god has given us !!!! We are not making the shadows , we are just making "Shadows in the Sun"!!!!!


Cheers to life my friends!!!
