" A JOURNEY TOWARDS PEACE"

Finding myself around various questions as  I wanted to reach next clues.so,I went out searching for new clues for the story,right from coming into this town & covering half of the story ,& now searching about allyson from his neighbours did they know anything?. It was moment where half truth was still waiting somewhere behind.From everyone I met & asked about allyson but couldn't found anything that could help to put the curtain off from the mystery &  with a disappointment  that I would never find what happened to Allyson,so I just packed my bags & booked the flight for Next day & planned to leave the town,  it was a difficult night I spended in various thoughts that kept me awake & disturbed whole night .

When the next day began this was not like an ordinary day there was something that was disturbing my mind, since being not able find a clue I had been so close but still faraway from the end  but I forgotten that I was already  getting late for my  flight.I took my bag & open the door, the taxi was waiting for me but when I was about to leave someone came & was waiting outside and he said hi,I came to meet you , 'did you are leaving the town ?' I was bit confused why someone would have come to meet me now, but when I was lost in my thoughts for a moment .

The person told me I know you wanted to know what happened to Allyson' & the story, I have few things for you if you have some time .I was surprised & amazed ,I thought what the heck  is this was happening? .This moment was special cause it was none other but Allyson who was standing in front of me ,when he told me later but I was amazed  for a moment I thought did I was now just dreaming ? So I just pinched on my hand But it was not a dream allyson standing in front of me & was smiling , It was indeed a surprise that Allyson came to meet me today.

Without asking anything further I just welcomed him & we both comfortably settled down on couch in the hallway, I was just smiling & was happy to see allyson.while continuing our conversation,he just told me that from someone he got to know that someone was searching about his story, so 'I just came to meet you. Without going any ahead , I was really surprised in the moment that how certainly we both came across.I just believe that still miracles happen in true sense . Now keeping aside the excitement , It was time that my patience could break any moment .so I just asked Allyson,that what decision you took & what you left in that letter?". 

He replied  as you read "it was that moment where I was  way across drowning deep down in negativity, where I just saw only option either floating above the darkness that could took me up from this.The option were about that I could choose a wrong way & end everything I had or else choose a different way.And my heart choose the second option so quickly without wasting a moment I just looked up on the picture on my wall & left a letter on the bed.The Letter was about that I was leaving for a trip to montecristo cloud forest for a week.

When I finally reached montecristo cloud forest, It was my childhood desire to once in my life to visit this place & explore this beauty of nature .And now it came true & I was standing there but today the purpose was different & indeed intentions were different also, destiny had planned something which I never expected or planned .Till now everything seemed to be normal but moving slowly from the thick forest consisting the tall redwood  trees finding a way  everything had it's specifications everywhere greenery & a little darkness inside.There where only few spots from where the small plants could see the sky but for most of time they were probably like played hide and seek with sun whole day.This was the place farway from normal cities & it's daily chaos.

There was a silence in the wind blowing through  trees & making it sound like a beautiful song when it touched the leaves & I could see the sunlight travelling to reach the ground. I was trying to glance through them to find a way. but suddenly everything changed a strange white light glow  travelled right from the sky ,fastly passed closed  from me & for a moment it was unable to see what was happening & suddenly after few seconds the light vanished, everything become visible & every bit around me felt little changed & ahead I saw someone who was standing near a tree although for me, he was stranger & as I was from people who  didn't like to quickly  establish a conversation with strangers,my mind was acting as barrier to stop me there for few moments.but today it was like I was being pulled towards him to go and have a talk with him  .

So moving one step further I reached there I said 'hii What are you doing here ?'. He just smiled &  said 'he was waiting for me to arrive here since long time & You arrived late ,Suddenly I was surprised & confused how could anyone know I'll come here,how this could happen?. When I was moved in my thoughts he just looked at me I know what are you thinking don't worry I'm here to help you, I know everything about you.This was sounding  so strange & wierd for me , everything happening was hard to believe but somehow I was looking to connect the dots & holding my all courage I asked him, who are you ? What do you want ? , How could you know who am I? He replied 'hold on don't get too confused take a breath & more than who I'm it's Important why I'm here.I was little feared but I said okay but now 'could you please tell me why are you here?'. He said follow me 'you'll get to know everything just be calm ,we both move towards  a dense part of forest '.

While he was moving ahead, behind there was a war going on inside me,my mind was saying don't go ahead ,you don't know who he is & what's gonna happen? On the other hand my heart was saying me to don't worry go ahead he is here for you only & while he again turned back towards me & said"hey in this war of mind & heart choose one wisely it can make things better or turn it worse think over it". As I was already little confused I justice left everything behind for a moment & just started to follow him.

As we approached towards forest he just said me to stop & I was trying to figure to out Where I was ? He said again 'look did you find anything different here' ,I replied no,'it seems like a normal forest  nothing special'. he said,"look at the red wood trees did you see they are so tall enough that they are nearly  close to the sky & did you know how this happen? & Why it need to be the tallest tree ?"

I didn't had a answer for this he quietly replied" if you want go up from where you stand today & explore what is beyond it, you have to grow tall enough like a red wood tree ,who only gets enough sunlight if he becomes tall enough to reach the sky in search of sunlight beginning on his journey,one day from the ground till being the tallest tree".I was  getting the signs to know why this person has came to help me to change my perspective & teach me some life lessons may be what I  needed . 

As I was thinking about what was happening & finding the answers for the question which I never thought. We started moving further following  he just took me towards the bank of the river & he told me to sit down & look at the river & tell me what you see? , What you think?.I was being again in my thoughts what this has to do to help me with my life .he replied I think probably you didn't see that what actually river does? Just change your perspective once & look again .

See the water being clean & crystal clear make yourself also like a river from inside so that you never get stuck anywhere & you have to able to let go off things & you have to Keep moving like the current of water in the river keeps on moving even if something comes in his way, also make yourself deep enough like the river that you can hide darkness, secrets & still give a place to nurture beautiful things & once daily let the pure sunlight pass right inside of you & see what it just lefts with you for the darker nights.

I just knew today how beautiful the life & nature is & how beautifully it holds too many secrets that could let us change our perspectives & life. With Smiling he replied "come on we have few more places to visit  , few more answers to reveal. let's continue,& now I was truly enjoying the trip & was excited what he has planned further for me . Further we reached at a opening  place between the canopy of the redwood trees & the sunlight was reaching the down right from the sky  & up in the sky the cloud were carrying on their daily journey.

 He said look at the clouds see the glimpse of   changing clouds, sometimes cloud were pure white & Clear & might some days  the sky would be black indicating  rain with thunder ,In between I asked why it suddenly happen how could this thing is related to  our life.?  he replied yes it has lot similar resemblence with life see this changing cycle of clouds , after all this chaos remember one day,this phase gets over, dark clouds shreads out & once again the sky is clear & the sun is shining again in pride ,so remember  the problem your dealing with today will never remain forever, one day everything will  be fine again & you will find yourself standing on a different place from where you began the journey.

And When the rain of happiness will come again after a terrible summer of problems and pain it will satisfy you truly & heal you like the rain satisfy's everyone & starts  the beginning of new life & everywhere you see greenery that's all beauty which you never came across before .For a moment I was numb & thought about how beautifully everything is there around me but somehow I was lost somewhere that I couldn't discover this before & how could have the things being better if I had  this perspective before?. He came towards me & said "what has happened let it be there .lets go ahead I have to take you took the one of the beautiful place &will tell you  something more interesting, come fast".

Soon After a couple of minutes a long walk but enjoyable one towards mountain. finally we reached the cliff of it but I was totally exhausted & when I looked towards him he was just fine enough that like for him it was a daily job & he could climb the mountain few more times again. Keeping all jokes aside Taking a moment to enjoy the view my tiredness just went away with the wind & drinking a sip of  water made me felt better. When we both seated down it just seemed that the sky was just above my hand & I could touch the cloud . when I looked down to reach the ground it was so deep & through the way covered with white fog , so that it was unable to see what the ground was hiding secrets .

For a moment when a cold breeze was passing in the air suddenly he told me to 'close your  eyes '& when I closed my eyes, within few secs I found myself travelled somewhere to a place where I saw myself  a little lost to find a way in a dark place like someone's room,when moving ahead but in my mind I thought I was truly learning what really life was & how to survive & getting close to who I was .but also somewhere I was missing something,& in between behind all in the darkness,a voice replied "I know what you are thinking, you are missing your family here,you know how beautiful the trip could have been if everyone would have came".

'No matter how the relations among you all were today but remember still family is family & what they have did it's unforgettable the love ,care & sacrifices which they did for you are what the result that you had a beautiful life in this world. I replied , 'But I didn't knew how our relations will go further but today I just knew what is the value of family &  how  important it was for me, thank you for giving me a chance to look at things I didn't thought before but could you tell me where I am?.but the voice didn't replied anything ,being feeling little lonely & sad here near a corner faraway from my the door, I was lost again.

In this particular new spaces where I travelled there were too many questions arousing out in mind But to find answer for every point was difficult & I thought it  was all connected to the point of past & future & in that moment it was like all things were stopped & it was just me & that strange voice having a conversation ahead. 

But I didn't knew how everything went & how I  came back in montecristo but there I was still again sitting with that person on the mountain cliff.I was desperate to ask questions what was this all happened?.  but for few minutes I was silent thinking about everything had some connection with each other. He didn't spoke a word I was waiting for him to break the silence & show me a way ahead of all this. but what really all this was is still a mystery of journey "Towards The Peace" & probably the person with whom I was today may had all answers for everything.........
