Small Green Guy

It was a Wednesday morning. Pleasant beautiful as any other day. I am travelling on a train to office near a window seat. Don't worry, the story is not about me getting to office in rush hour in a near pulp state. This story is about a small green grasshopper. Yes, it is about an insect. Out of nowhere, this Green Guy jumped on the window sill where my arm rests. Slowly and Steadily, the guy walked towards the outer of edge of the sill and the wind from the moving train caress his whole body. As though enjoying the Morning breeze, craving for more, he's trying to reach the edge of the window. My human eyes watching all this and trying to enjoy the experience as he was and the moment of horror struck.

The more he moved, his grip on the window sill loosened. He was struggling against the wind and latching on to the last limb gripping the train's metal surface clinging to his dear life. I was supposed to help, I know I should, but my fear of insects wouldn't let me reach him. Ashamed of myself, I watched the green guy losing the battle against the wind and his grip lost and fell off the train.

I was in a state of trance, feeling guilty, I was not sure where I was. Lost in my head. Looking deeply at the place of battle. I was not sure if there was anything that could have brought me back to my senses. Minutes have passed, the longest time I have felt in my entire life. Then something happened. My vision blurred the battleground, focused automatically to the end of the window. Something was moving. I felt a jolt in my heart.

It was the Green Guy, it was the same Small Green Guy. He was climbing back on to the window against the same powerful wind. Hurray !!! He did it, Bloody-Son of a Gun did it. God, Have I ever been happy in my entire life !!!. The shout from the train lady announcing that my station has arrived brought me back to my human life. Happy to have witnessed such a feat ! I moved on.

I learned something from the Green Guy. Our life is similar, there will be wind of trouble and might stop us from getting forward or even knock us out flat on the floor. Our dear friends may not be able to come to your aid, relatives might abandon, and we might have lost all Hope. But there is one thing that will not abandon us, which is our WILL POWER. If we have a strong will power and if we adamant not to give up on goal, even GOD will have no other choice but to help us. We can always find Strength within us and we can be proud about it.

Persevere and Don't ever give up.

With love and wishes,
