Thin Air

How many times have I wanted to vanish into thin air & blend into the serene breeze? Apparently, par Aplenty ( I've got to stop this anagramising.. Or, he does not stop but opts to spot the top post in my anagram history )... But, every time that happens I keep telling myself that this is the worst it can get and so, I should look into what more can life hit one with.. Cmon, Life ! Hit me with all your might... There will be a few days when you feel like a deflated balloon, lifeless & dejected... But, dudes, the deflated balloon, though with very little materialistic value, has a lesser risk of exploding & vanishing into thin air ( vanishing, again !!) than one that is jaunty & bouncy.. Cmon, it cant get too philosophical than this.. So, stay level-headed & believe that Acme and Abyss are next door neighbors... That should keep you aware of the fact that failures shouldn't reach your heart, while success never gets to the mind of a complete man.. Stay cool & be a complete man..

but, what provoked me into penning this ? My puerile anagramisation, of pedestrian mumblings, unfortunately destined to evoke unprecedented life-size maxims, worked on the phrase "Thin air" for an inconsequential, yet eventually consequential, frame of time... What could "Thin Air" anagramise to and make this bloke pen a blog early this day ? "Hit? Rain..", which dawns upon me as "Hit hard by the thunderous Life ? Brave it & Keep raining until you reach the sea of your dreams..".. Maybe this will be lost in the tumult or might be etched into your memories, but if there wasn't an inkling of truth in this motivational, albeit innocuous, statement, Abraham Thomas Lincoln, incidentally born around this day a couple of centuries ago, would've faded into the oblivion as yet-another commoner.

Just a wild thought that what if people could vanish into thin air... If that had been an option, the world would've lost zillions of inspirational icons, millions of rags-to-riches stories, thousands of mavericks, hundreds of philosophers, scores of phoenixes & a few utterly-disbelieving pessimists, who see the world of success stories & cringe at being at the bottom rung and without whom the world's success rate would've hit a dull saturation.. So, even if u r a pessimistic pessimist, stay on, take on the ladder one patient step at a time & make the world a better place for the others.. I do not want to be overtly dramatic or excessively inspirational, but I'm happy to see that at least one optimistic soul, (yup, you), is prepared to take on life's vagaries head-on..
