Sitting on the bench near the fence around the open ground,

Joy was keenly watching  other children occupying the ground.

Some running around, some playing a sport, some sitting and some talking,

Joy had a faint smile, looking at the empty space to the right and left.

Joy’s hands moved as though imitating what the others were doing,

and moved the legs, again in imitation.

This went on for all the few hours that Joy was there.

“What would I do without moving the way the others are?” was a question in Joy’s mind,

“Whatever you can”, was the reply 🙂

“How can I move the way the others are, being the way I am?” was another question that popped in Joy’s mind,

“However you can” was the reply 🙂

‘Whatever’ and ‘however’ played in Joy’s mind, all thru’ the few hours and later and later.

Joy’s eyes grasped many a movement of the others in the ground,

When some of the the children fell on the ground, Joy gasped,

A prayer that they are fine resounded with the gasp.

The sounds of their laughter echoed and echoed in Joy’s mind,

bringing a larger than faint smile in Joy, inside and out.

The days when Joy was near the ground and watched, so many things were learnt,

‘Whatever’ was cheering and appreciating others, helping Joy’s own muscles move, thinking, reflecting.

‘However’ was in the mind – imagining, creating an image and a visual,

Well, manifesting what could be one day, definitely!!

Manifesting in the mental space evolves, radiates, catalyses, transforms,

Joy and others.

Each of us is like Joy,

To be able to do ‘whatever’ we can and ‘however’ we can, in the best way that we can,

What do we want to be?

‘Whatever’ we manifest.

How do we want to be?

‘However’ we choose to.

Joy’s choice of ‘whatever’ and ‘however’, was by Being alive,

What’s our choice?
