Am I growing?

Am I growing?

6am in the morning

Till the age of 10, I looked forward to the new day and willingly woke up early. I enjoyed watching grandma doing the morning chores.

@15 years, I didn't know how 6am went by, I was happily dozing.

@18 years, my mornings started before 6 and I could see only my books, as they decided my future only to realize later, its me who decides it and not the books!

@22, 6am would push me out of the bed to get ready and catch the office bus!

@28, I enjoyed in bed at 6! Then running around to get the kitchen up and running!

Till kids were toddlers, 6am and 6pm looked the same!

As they grow, the wake up time also woke up before 6 only to be busy

After 35, I willingly wake up at 6
To enjoy that quiet time
The my time
The birds chirping and meditation time
Royally, My time!

May be, I'm growing!

At 50, sleep pushes me harder but my duties pull me even harder

At 60, I'm unable to sleep at 6. All my sleep has dissolved in to void
And I again wake up to read a book or do a prayer

At 70, 6am and 6pm look the same!

Life is a circle, all the learned say and this 6am has proven it! Its the same me but there is a transformed me from willingly waking up to detest it, not even remembering to have a choice in between, again willingly waking up just to enjoy that quiet, to doesn't need anyone to remind to wake up at 6! To again wake up willingly to observe the people around!
Life is indeed a circle!
