Describe your life in an alternate universe.
Dream destination is a place which is desirable but inaccessible – where one wishes to go but cannot because of various constraints like expense, distance, motorability, health etc.
Nowadays people have destination marriages in exotic locales. Whenever we talk of dreams, we actually imagine something out of this world, larger than life and away from reality.
However, my dream destination is a bit off the route. I close my eyes and see a range of majestic blue mountains rolling into a velvety green meadow skirted by a gurgling stream of crystal clear waters. An azure sky washed with sunshine and pillows of clouds sailing by. In the corner of the meadow is a small, unassuming kutir or hermitage adjacent to a huge mossy boulder on which I find myself sitting – staring at the blueness of the mountains – ruminating !
There is an unbreakable serenity around. Peace…Peace…Peace everywhere! The music of silence pervades with the gurgle of flowing waters and melodious chirping of birds.
Lo! What I see myself attired in – a saffron robe!!! And who sits by my side? My loyal pet, quietly meditative. This is only a dream!! Or perhaps an alternate universe – a metaverse wherein my deep subconscious desires manifest in vibrant visuals.
I wish it were my present reality. A world within the chaotic world of noise and disruption. A globe where I am at peace with myself and my surrounds. Where I find beauty, melody and desirable company.
The cosmos is beyond our limited imagination. The ancient sages realized it’s enormity and the continuum of creation, decay, destruction. In our constrained visualization we can only image ourselves in an alternate sphere which we deep down wish for. And that is our alternate universe!
