Impressions..Imprints....Reflections....

Imprints © By Zul.

Rolling waves on a vacant shore

Blue skies, bright sun, many birds soar

A warm breeze ruffles the leaves on palm trees

Plays the shells like piano keys and blows the sand off my feet

Deep thoughts of life float in the air

Alone on the beach but at the same time not really there

Morning turns to afternoon, and the afternoon turns to night

By myself with no one in sight

Steps towards the water where the end will begin

Imprints in the sand are left from someone never seen again

A much needed break from my dark depressing verses, this beautiful piece was contributed by fellow blogger Zul, do visit his site here.

It made me wonder, and realize how little things can effect your life in a big way. Life changing events would be the most 'obvious' but the ones that really leaves a lasting imprint and 'define' your character is brought on by people, through inspiration, interaction sometimes subconsciously or even after encountering a stranger.

I was having a conversation with a friend yesterday, and she was suggesting that everything in life is pre-destined, like a written script. I do agree to a certain extent, maybe we ARE destined to have certain outcomes in life, but when and how we achieve it might differ due to events,circumstances and choices. To roughly quote another fellow blogger, "maybe its not about the ending , its about the journey". Cant remember the exact words, but you get the picture eyh..

But how does destiny work anyway? does it negate all possibilities of chance and coincidence, since everything is pre-set. OR is it fully dependent on chance and coincidence, negating the effects of effort and intention? Its confusing, cos either way it could work.

Maybe everything is based on chance? The question is, whether you actually 'see' the chance or otherwise.
