Its with a methodical ease that the old man spins the wheel. He is saying something that his faint breathing masks.

The Prayer wheel is exquisite to look at. To touch and spin around. The prayer wheel and the spinning of it reminds me of our lives. And how constant it has been through ages.
The prayer wheel and the old man’s chant seems to beseech me to slow down. They seem to ask me why I am in a hurry.
When was the last time you felt the need to slow down and soak in beauty around you?

If you havent felt so in a long while, perhaps you will soon. How about now?

Of beginnings and ends. The Sun was a painting a new crimson on the snow clad canvas that Himalayas seemed to become . These trees stood firm and beautiful. Bereft of leaves but beautiful still. A new season was coming. This season was ending.
In the end, there is a beginning. Always. The end of one season heralds the beginning of another. The end of a day rustles up a new night. The end of night gets the Sun to wave in its crimson magic.
So what does death mean, if not a new beginning? For both the soul that’s departed and the families and friends that grapple with the departure. With nothing more than a legacy, woven together by a clutch of memories and collected artefacts.
Two years ago, to this date my dad went his way. It’s been a new beginning. To learn to live without his presence.
Some people’s presence outstrips their life. They cause a new beginning everyday. Even though their end came long ago. He was one of them.
But then, what is an end if not a new beginning?
Do share a thought if you have one. About ends and beginnings. It can be a new beginning to someone who is coping with an end.
Anyone.
