Birds — An Introspection
The Game of Mind
Everything is in mind – dreams, hopes, desires, love, frustration. It’s the realm of emotions. The mind thinks, explores, imagines, and sets determinations, leads to ideas, develops insights, gives strengths to grow up, sees big, inspires to work, and then rest follows. That’s how if I put it in a very simplistic way. But the reality is a little more complicated. Life is not so simple, and neither is the mind. It’s a complex labyrinth of neuro wires that stores all, in fact, the whole meaning of life. The anchor project explores the same expression with the domestic birds.
As we grow up, we set goals for life, set milestones, based on some reference points, past experiences, dreams that we see over the years, desires that nourished at the core of the heart. Once we achieve or fail, we set another one. Sometimes, we stick to one for some time, and eventually, we move on, that’s how it goes.
In reality, the desires, goals, dreams, hopes don’t hold up always. The world within the mind that we create over the years starts getting decay slowly. Dreams and hopes suffocated within the boundary. It’s like slowly letting go of what we have nourished over the years. And all these happen within the mind.
The mind gets anchored with reality, with the current state of affairs. Dreams find a limitation – it dares to go beyond a certain point. Like domestic birds, they can fly but they can’t fly too high and far away. They had to come back to their old same place for livelihood. Even though they are not caged, but the world for them is not big either.
