Jonathan’s Journey:
Part-1:
It is story of a boy who had a dream and curiosity of this world and its dimension.
It was usual summer in Spain. Jonathan was sitting on a stone near to a beautiful beach. He was able to see miles of distance from beach but was certainly not able to see the end of the corner. He was desperately thinking what would be there, how it would be different from his beautiful country?
It makes him more eager to go there and experience new world. He kept reading stories about that land and its people. And also those customs which were very different from what he follows. It makes double his desires to go there.
But he was only 14 years old and he knew very well that he cannot be permitted by his father to go there. So he never dared to ask about it to his father. But he started facing new strange problem. His all desires now became his dreams. He started dreaming about a land full of desert, a massive storm, strange big buildings and many more new things. He had never seen all things before.
Now his dreams were pushing him hard to think about that But at the same time he was afraid of the reality. He knew very the life would not be easy on the other side. People may not be as kind as his own countrymen. Nobody would be there to take care of him as his mother does. But sometime he felt happy when he thinks nobody would be there to say him for study as his father does.
Somehow,Jhonthan had convinced himself to postpone the plan of pursuing his dream for some time. And he thought that he is very young and has many years to live his dreams.Jhonthan’s usual life was going on but his dreams had taken away his sleep. But he neither dared to share it with his parents nor with friends.
One day he was sitting on the same stone and looking toward the other shore of sea. What the shining curve was appearing on the other corner. Suddenly a hare was passing there with broken leg. He was unable to walk.Jhonthan was seeing his movement.Jhonthan thought that he should help this poor hare. He jumped from the stone and easily caught the hare as hare was unable to walk. He saw its broken leg and he could not stop himself to help him out from this critical condition. He cleaned up his leg with salty sea water then cut off his shirt with short strip and wrapped it up on broken leg. He made him free. But the next moment one eagle came on surface, caught him and took him away.
Jonathon was shocked and saddened. He was unable to believe what he saw right now. He was thinking that a moment ago he saved the life of this poor hare and on the another moment hare was in the hand of eagle. He was seeing eagle on the sky and the same hare still in eagle’s hands. And kept looking at till the eagle went out of his sight. He kept abusing eagle. But after some time he realized it is a cycle .If eagle would not have caught that hare then eagle’s destiny would have been same like hare.
But he learned one very important lesson from this event that life never waits for anyone. It’s only a single moment between life and death. No one knows when death will come and take away all of things. This young kid was in different puzzle now and generally very great philosopher and intellectual people try to keep away themselves from this horrific puzzle DEATH-LIFE. As this kid had very limited boundary about this puzzle but one question kept coming in his mind what if he die tomorrow then what will happen with his dreams.
Now he was very clear on one thing he will not wait for his dreams. He is living this life for himself. Nobody would care if he dies today. All these thought were giving him confidence and encouraging him to pursue his dreams.
……To be continued.
