🪴 Thinking in a load-off mode.

You know, it’s so crucial to keep life at a low load. Sometimes, it’s even better to put the load away completely, just so the brain has enough breathing space.

And I really mean it.

The human brain needs rest. Not just a little, but sometimes an ocean of it. We forget this in the rush to achieve something every day. But not every day has to be about greatness. Some days are meant to be quiet, simple, and calm. If you can be patient and set the weight aside, clarity arrives on its own. Enlightenment, too, doesn’t demand effort, it slips in when you’re not chasing it. I’ve come to believe that you don’t always have to think too much to make things happen. If destiny wants you to succeed, it will happen, inevitably.

For me, “low-load time” is very ordinary, yet very precious. It might mean writing a few words, enjoying a good meal, sleeping deeply, or simply staring at the sky as the clouds wander past. Sometimes it’s sitting in a park, watching birds flutter about, or on the banks of a river, thinking absolutely nothing.

And honestly, there’s so much joy in those moments. The kind of joy you get from nature’s beauty, or from a dream so vivid and beautiful that you wake up remembering it with a smile.

Sunset at my park

There’s a park in my city, right where the river meets the Arabian Sea. I often go there in the evenings. I sit quietly, just watching the sunset. Birds fly high above, the moon peeks out, and the sky melts into shades of red, maroon, and pink. A cool breeze brushes across my face, lifting my hair. 

In that moment, I feel the weight leaving me. Carried away by the wind, piece by piece.
